Sausage and Peppers Ravioli with the kitchen sink
This really is a put everything that you have together together kind of meal. Yes, the sort you come to this site for. So, yes it is a Sausage and Peppers Ravioli. Well, there are loads of onions, garlic and spinach. All of this meshed with Butternut squash ravioli is what I am culling together to bring in the first post of 2024. Well, it is a little bit of everything, and times for me and where my Spice Chronicles kitchen will land is a little bit uncertain and lots of confused.
The Story of this Sausage and Peppers Ravioli
My home is breaking up. Yes, I still have my boy with me for a week and a half. Things in what I have known to be home for two decades are turbulent. We are headed towards the inevitable divorce. At this point, I like many others have a lot of questions. But, deep in my heart I believe that this too shall pass. All the uncertainty, anger and unhappiness will find their way out.
For more of a personal take on things you can work through my substack, something I am using to keep myself grounded.
Anyhow, this simple recipe is something that I pulled together for my son as a last week at home kind of meal.
The 2024 Outlook
I have actually given up with resolutions a couple of years ago. Chances are in 2024, you will see a lot quick and easy recipes for one or two. I have lots of odds and ends still lying around. I want to be able to do justice to those things and use them up as the next several weeks go by. Once, things are sorted out (yes, easier said than done) I will have to find a new spot for my kitchen. So that my friends is 2024 at the moment.
I would love to believe that the future brings some possibilities, things I might not otherwise be able to do. I just cannot at the moment find ways to completely imagine that. But the hope lurks and flickers.
