Artichoke Infused Dinner

Tonight’s dinner was a delightful combination of the following ingredients:

• TJ’s Artichoke Ravioli
• Olive Oil
• Chicken Stock
• Tomatoes
• Marinated Artichoke Hearts
• Italian Seasoning
• Salt (yes, it’s in an old Corona bottle with a salt top)

I boiled the ravioli for five minutes and simmered the other ingredients in another pan on low heat.

Ravioli to bowl, broth to cover ravioli, bowl to placemat, fork to mouth.

I have to say, this dish was very tasty, light and left me feeling fulfilled.  HOWEVER, the Trader Joe’s Artichoke Ravioli didn’t leave me with a “wow” moment.  They were okay, but not what I was expecting.  I was expecting them to be a bit more dense, maybe a little more rich, but most of my flavor – I felt – was coming from my own broth.

Oh well, still a good dinner.

Prior to the meal I snacked on some edamame whilst cooking.

And for dessert – some Puffins and Chocolate Chips.

Off to type some more essays and read a bit more of The Art of Racing in the Rain.  For any dog lovers out there – you will LOVE this book, and I am only halfway through!

Goodnight!
