My mom has made ravioli from scratch before and told me it was fun and easy. Of course they have a ravioli maker and an auto crank for their pasta machine which probably helps. We did have a great time- but it took all afternoon, creating a few tired workers, to create the massive amount of ravioli to enjoy. With plain pasta dough we made Sausage and leek pasta, with sun dried tomato dough we made ricotta, roasted red pepper and parmesan (my favorite), with spinach dough we made chicken and mushroom and smoked mozzarella and portabella ravioli. I think the most fun dough was making the spinach batch. It was amazing to see what a little steamed spinach can do to ordinary dough. We also made a nice batch of fettuccine with the extra spinach noodles. Needless to say we were very full just to try one of each! With the extra ravioli in the freezer, we should be enjoying delicious meals for days to come!

That evening, we settled in for a few movies, the first of which was Ella Enchanted, a christmas gift from Mark. I just love the scenery and clothing they wear in that movie. We followed this up with Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, a classic we hadn't seen in a while. The DVD looked really clear, and it was fun even after all these years.
