I had a great weekend. No nothing adventurous, nothing overly exciting, just relaxing.

Friday A, M and I went to the fabric store to purchase materials for M's Saturday morning sewing lesson--I really believe Bravo's Project Runway has not ignited the youths desire for not only fashion flavor but, also has resurrected an almost forgotten art form; sewing. In the (slow motion) blink of the eyes I will be opening a store featuring M haute couture. Then we girls shopped Walgreen's for movie theater candy-- to accompany our Blockbuster flick --and Boire strips. How many of you can say you enjoyed a Friday night of extracting clogged pores from your nose with your teenage daughters?

Saturday I rose at the crack of dawn to drop A for the ACT. Then an hour later dropped M for sewing lesson. I plotted my very relaxing Saturday of sipping Diet Coke and watching TV. I started my 10 hour couch potato marathon with the Food Network...my TV man crush, Tyler Florence, I noticed got hitched he was wearing a ring. Now who am to fantasy about while standing over a hot pot? A joined me for the two hours of the chocolate marathon preceding to annoy me to no end to rise from the couch, run to the grocery, and purchase the items needed to make Giada's chocolate ravioli. I refused to move! I was onto 6 hours of Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Come on I say it is almost Valentine's Day we all need a good Danielle Steel epic or two (especially if the spouse is working all weekend) to flare up the romantic in us. Don't we?

Sunday after church we purchased the items for the chocolate ravioli. Let me just say the won ton wrapper doesn't start and stop with crab rangoon. The chocolate ravioli are heavenly! In case you are wondering, as I snack on the left overs,they are much more delicious right out of the hot oil. However my fat ass isn't complaining. I ended my great weekend by watching what I think was the best Grammy's in a long while. My music man crush, John Mayer, saddly lost best album to the Dixie Chicks so in my mourning I will play my collection of John Mayer albums in his honor.

Chocolate-Hazelnut Ravioli
16 won ton wrappers
1 egg, beaten to blend
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
Vegetable oil, for frying
16 fresh mint leaves
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Granulated sugar, for dredging
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Place 1 won ton wrapper on the work surface. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with egg. Spoon 1 tablespoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread into the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally in half over the filling and press the edges of the wrapper to seal. Place the ravioli on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining won ton wrappers, egg, and chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Add enough oil to a heavy large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.

Working in batches, carefully add the ravioli to the hot oil and cook until they are golden brown, about 45 seconds per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Then, transfer the cooked ravioli to another baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while frying the remaining ravioli. (The fried ravioli can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool them completely, then cover and refrigerate. Before serving, place them on a baking sheet and rewarm in a preheated 375 degrees F oven just until they are heated through, about 7 minutes.)

Spray the top side of the mint leaves very lightly with nonstick spray. Working with 1 leaf at a time, dredge the coated side of the leaves in sugar to coat lightly.

Arrange 2 fried ravioli on each plate. Dust the ravioli with powdered sugar. Garnish with the sugared mint leaves and serve.
