I'm on a deadline, too lazy to get out of jammies, put clothes on and go get something to eat. I look in the refrigerator- I haven't gone grocery shopping in a while, but I have some weird odds and ends that don't really seem to go together.
I go back to my desk.
After about an hour, I get up and roast butternut squash. It looks and tastes good, but it's not what I'm craving. I caramelize onions with fresh thyme, whole cloves of garlic and red pepper flakes. It smells heavenly, but it's not really the meal of my dreams.
I, on a whim, decide to blend the squash and the onions together with sage and leftover turkey stock in the food processor. My stove sucks and literally takes hours to boil a pot of water, so tossing this heavenly concoction with pasta is out of the question. I decide to stuff this mixture into wonton skins, fry it up and drizzle it with Sriracha and voilà, I've made fried butternut squash ravioli. I wish I had cheese, I would have added cheese into the filling and grated Parm all over the top, but I don't so Sriracha will have to do.
Aside from distracting me from a boring article I don't want to write, the point of this rambling post is to ask:
Have you ever thrown something totally bizarre together out of hunger and laziness only to find it's ridiculously delicious?
