Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Place 1 wonton 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 wonton 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.
Stop What You’re Doing And Watch The Very Pit Of Hell Out Of This of the Day: Sen. Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) speaks out in favor of same-sex marriage ahead of today’s failed vote in the New York Senate.
If, after viewing this seven-minute video, you are still of the opinion that tax-paying Americans should be denied the right to enter into a loving marriage with the partner of their choice irrespective of gender, kindly exit this country.
Painting Hack of the Day: Lost Boys creative director James Théophane Jr. took an old replica he found at Spitalfields Market in London, painted over it to make it seem as though it was an image stuck in the rendering phase, and topped it off with a motorized spinning beach ball of death.
Watch Théophane’s “Painting Render Crash” in action below:
“There are a few things that have been on my mind lately that are apparently secrets to most customers at my restaurant, and probably many others as well which I would like to put out there. Not to nag anyone or try to tell people how they should tip or anything, just suggestions for people to think about when they go out to eat somewhere.
At most restaurants, servers are responsible for keeping the place clean and in order and have to clean up everything after you leave (including messes left by children). We also prepare, clean, and stock things in the kitchen area as well. I feel like some people tend to think that servers don’t do anything but walk to the table and back, but there is other work involved.
At most places I’ve worked as a server, they only pay about 2-4$/hour unless it’s a really nice place, but the servers are depending on making tips to make money. I realize that this is not the customers’ fault, but if you go out to eat at a sit-down restaurant it is expected that you will have to pay for a tip along with the food. If you don’t want to pay for a tip, there are other ways to get the food (order to-go) or go to a fast food place where there aren’t servers.
When there is a problem with your food, or something related to the maintenence of the restaurant that you notice, you should bring it to the attention of the manager. The manager is ultimately responsible for these things and the only way it will get fixed is if they find out about it, not by stiffing your waiter. A lot of times the servers get the brunt of things that go wrong even when it’s not their fault.
Anyways, these are things that you would think a lot of people would be aware of, but the truth is that I think there are still many people who may not be aware of these things.
Just sayin’”
