My tongue has been hanging out for pizza, but it's been so hot here for several weeks that I haven't used the oven. It's in the mid-seventies today (hooray, finally!), so we're having pizza.

It was wonton dough from scratch...which is amazingly identical to egg pasta dough for Italian pastas.orange&white I love making ravioli! I don't make them nearly as often as I should. I've never tried using wonton wrappers, though. Yours look wonderful.
M maggiedemi I'm not Mamanyt1953, but I always saute my onions (along with thinly sliced green peppers, sometimes) for hot dogs and for brats. I think they taste better.
Not sure about tonight. It may a Digiorno's night, quick and easy.
The thing with the wontons is the dough has to be rolled out "paper thin" for the delicate results, and they tear, stick to the counter, and are just all-round fiddly. Pre-made wonton wrappers would have been much easier, and probably could be used for ravioli.
Rolling nice thicker sheets from the same dough for ravioli was much easier.

I haven't posted in this section for awhile but had a wonderful dinner last night with friends at Roti, a Mediterranean restaurant. I have never been there before but since they had a lot of veggie options I indulged myself. Check out their menu: Home - Roti Modern Mediterranean
a(nother) serving of kielbasa and scalloped potatoes, some canned pineapple chunks with juice, a couple very small bits of bread with margarine (the last of the previous loaf of bread), and a banana split brownie for dessert -- later in the evening. 
I don't, but simply because the hot dogs are 3 minutes from hunger pang to supper. However, I do microwave them, so the onions are slightly cooked down into the cheese (slice or sprinkle of cheese, onions, then hot dog on top). I'll bet the sauteed onions would be wonderful, especially with a rich, smokey cheese, maybe a smoked gouda...hmmmmmmm...Mamanyt1953 -- do you ever put sautéed onions on your hotdogs? I was thinking the onions would taste better cooked.
HOLY OH MY GOOD GRIEF! I'm now drooling on my keyboard!
Tonight, pinto beans and rice.

I'm not sure if I'm eating dinner tonight. I don't feel so good. My dad and I have been eating bacon on the grill all day and I think we overdid it. I don't care if I ever see another piece of bacon again. 
Feel better soon!
Shhhh, that's ok, little bacons, she doesn't REALLY mean it! Just for now.

Leftover quinoa/rice pasta with cut up veggies, e.g. zucchini, baby kale, red pepper and green onion. Half of a chocolate chip biscotti and honeycrisp apple for dessert.
That looks really good. I wish we had one near me.

It's going to be a rainy and dreary day around here. I'm thinking of taking an idea from
Mamanyt1953
and turning it into red beans and rice. I have everything I need to make it. Maybe some cornbread for soaking up the juices.

the last serving (that's thawed) of kielbasa and scalloped potatoes, some canned pineapple chunks in juice, a very thin sliced piece of bread with margarine (i manually slice my loaves of bread, and sometimes i'll have a slice that's cut extra thin or similar), and a banana split brownie for dessert -- later in the evening.
LOL, I first read that as "Baby chicken thighs," and thought...gee, that's not much of a meal!
Spaghetti here tonight.

What happened to @1 bruce 1 When I click on his profile, I get an error message. I always enjoyed his dinner posts, especially about Manwich.
Looks like I'll be eating hand-held beef & veggie pies for dinner for a few days.
