What a crazy day...

Well, this morning I supposed to drive a friend to the hospital to have a medical procedure done, but I found I had a flat tire, then the guys that came to put the "donut" tire on so I could go get my tire fixed discovered I had a broken driver's side spring that had put a huge gash in my tire.  So after a tow truck ride, my car is in the garage waiting to be fixed.    Fortunately my friend was able to find a ride to have her procedure done.  I was also supposed to pick up my grandson, Torsten, tonight.  Well, Mysti is going to bring him here, so I have one bright spot to my otherwise crazy day! 

So I was sitting here thinking about what recipe to include today and I thought what about a good appetizer.... I haven't made these in a long time, but they are fantastic! (and Easy)

Fried Ravioli

Serves: 6

2 tablespoons milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup dry Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 27.5oz. package frozen cheese ravioli, thawed
Vegetable oil
Grated Parmesan cheese
Spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce

Combine milk and egg in a small bowl.  Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.  Dip ravioli in milk mixture, and coat with bread crumbs.  Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a dutch oven, heat to 350 degrees.  Fry ravioli, a few at a time, 1 minute on each side or until golden.  Drain on paper towels.  Sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve immediately with warm sauce.  Yield about 2 dozen appetizers.
NOTE:  I find that these fry up better if you place them in the freezer for a half hour or more.  The breading stays on better.
