There is a recipe for pea and parmesan wonton ravioli in this month’s Gourmet that I just couldn’t resist. I had never worked with wonton wrappers before, but I made the recipe last night and it was as simple as can be and absolutely yummy. It’s one of my new favorites and I can’t wait to try out different ravioli fillings!

Pea & Parmesan Wonton Ravioli

• 2 2/3 cups frozen peas
• 1/3 cup parmigiano-reggiano
• 2 teaspoons chopped mint
• 64 wonton wrappers
• 3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted

Cook peas in boiling, salted water until tender. Drain and puree. Stir in cheese, mint, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place rounded teaspoons of filling in center of wonton wrapper. Lightly brush edges with water then place second wrapper over top and seal, pressing out trapped air.

Boil ravioli in 2 batches in salted, boiling water until tender, remove with slotted spoon. Drizzle with butter and sprinkle with cheese.

UPDATE: After contacting Bucky Balls several times with no answer as to when the prizes were shipped, I can only assume that they have backed out as the contest sponsor. Instead of removing this post, I’d like to caution all when purchasing from Bucky Balls. If they bail on a sponsored contest, will you get your product? Do you want to do business with a company who does not follow-through on their end of an agreement?

Congratulations to our winners, Jesse and Barbara Fox! Barbara may have had the best entry when she commented:

Our beautiful Chicago weather turned rainy and windy this morning, so what better way to spend the day than with good food and Four Foods on Friday!

1. What’s your favorite flavor of yogurt?

Blueberry is my default favorite, but I also love keylime, lemon, cheesecake, and vanilla.

2. Got a recipe for a smoothie?

I don’t think the to banana chocolate milkshakes my roommate and I used to make in college qualify as smoothies, so no. I don’t have a recipe. Haha.

3. Got a recipe for split pea soup?

I love split pea soup, but I’ve never made it from scratch. I usually buy the Healthy Choice variety.

4. What’s your favorite kind of pudding?

Butterscotch! Though I wish the butterscotch pudding cups came in sugar-free!

Sometime between high school and now I went from wearing lots of gaudy costume jewelry to wearing a few good pieces. I’m very particular about my jewelry and have worn the same pieces (diamond earrings, wedding rings, silver heart necklace) every day for years, and the Ah ring is something I would definitely see adding to my everyday jewelry.

Made of 14k white gold and .21 carats of diamonds, the Ah ring is simple and understated and uniquely worn on the pinkie. Whether you’re available (a) & happy (h) or attached (a) & happy (h), the Ah ring holds meaning for every woman.

For genuine diamonds and 14k gold, the ring is reasonably priced, making it perfect for bridesmaid gifts, mother’s day, or just because (hint hint). Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, and Selma Blair have all been spotted wearing the latest “it” ring, making it all the more desirable!

Treat yourself, or someone you love, to the Ah ring for just the right amount of glitz and glamour.

OW! Britney had a clump of her weave pulled out during an aerial move at her show last week in California. It looks painful to me, but she doesn’t seem to flinch, so maybe they are clip on?
