I made it specifically for her and remembered too late that I added the chili flakes (It's second nature to do that since I make this weekly now).
Unfortunately, I borked the zucchini pasta for mom by adding red chili flakes to the sauce.
So I have to eat it.
Trader Joe‘s Lobster Ravioli with truffle Alfredo sauce. It taste good except minimal or maybe shredded lobster with just not enough lobster taste and texture. It kind of reminds me of those cans of shredded crab. That’s why I hedged our bets with a small lobster tail. Not recommended (the ravioli ) if the desire is to eat... lobster.
Well you gotta give it cred's for being colorful. ? Good review of less than great product apparently.
In this case you’d first need some lobster to be drowned out, and I could easily picture, ravioli stuffed with lobster tasting like lobster with the texture of lobster, ie pieces of lobster, even small pieces. The truffle alfredo sauce was good, and not over powering and I can imagine the two flavors blending together nicely.
It was not that expensive, about $5 a package, with 10 ravioli in a package. Of interest, it said there were 2 servings per package... not by US eating standards.
If there had been an adequate portion of lobster in them, it would have been an excellent value.
If it was a cheesy raviolli with an alfredo sauce (purchased separately), I would have given it a good review.

As far as marketing, when the name lobster is slapped on a product there is an expectation, just like crab. It’s one of the reason why when I make a crab imperial, I use lump crab instead of shredded crab. The fact that it is in a casserole means that there is a compromise away from pure flavor of the primary item and will be diluted by other elements.
But for marketing if you buy a bowl of lobster or crawfish bisque (to bring home), which we tried recently, I expect there to be pieces of lobster/crab in it, not just be lobster/crab flavored. We were disappointed with the bisque too. Live and learn.

There is not a lot of space in a ravioli. The little tails we bought were $7 each, and would have been a vast improvement if that about of lobster had been diced up, combined with a cheese filling and placed inside these ravioli. Granted they would have been a few dollars more, but that would have been acceptable.

So simple, so delecious.

The pickles are really good, but I did not make them. That's just too much work. My local Japanese store carries them. They're a Japanese brand that I have used for years. Shibazuke are so tasty! These are the ones I use.

That bread looks great! Next time a picture of the crumb to really get us drooling.
Had friends over for a annual dinner. Usually cook something more exotic, but wanted a traditional prime rib. Unfortunately I missed the window they were on sale, but the substitute come out really tender and tasty.
10 hour sous vide, Local, grass finished top round, with homemade au jus. Twice cooked rosemary potatoes, Sauteed baby spinach, beet salad, and Velveeta Mac and cheese from the box.
For desert we made a simple shortbread base, with homemade bitter Myer lemon curd from our tree.
So full lol
