<p>My guys crack me up! Look how I found them a little while ago:</p>
<p><img src="http://carrotsncake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_0444.jpg" alt="IMG_0444.JPG" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p>Mal and Murphy are having quite the night tonight. They&#8217;ve got beer and Combos and fantasy football on the agenda.</p>
<p>Murphy is giving Mal some great picks for this week&#8217;s fantasy football roaster. <img src='http://carrotsncake.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<h3>Dinner</h3>
<p>A couple of week ago, the folks at PAMA sent me a sample of their Pomegranate Liqueur to review on my blog. They were also hosting the <a href="http://Facebook.com/PamaLiqueur">Cooking with PAMA Contest</a> for a chance to WIN a trip to the <a href="http://www.foodandwine.com/ext/classic/">FOOD &amp; WINE Classic</a> in Aspen, so <em>obviously</em>, I had to enter a recipe. FOOD &amp; FINE Classic in Aspen!?!?! Yes, please! <img src='http://carrotsncake.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Pomegranate Pumpkin Ravioli</strong></p>
<p><em>Serves 4</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 tbsp PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur</li>
<li>1/2 cup canned pumpkin</li>
<li>1/2 cup low-fat sour cream</li>
<li>1/2 cup low-fat milk</li>
<li>1 tbsp all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1/4 tsp salt</li>
<li>1/4 tsp ground cinnamon</li>
<li>1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (fresh)</li>
<li>Shake of nutmeg</li>
<li>Roasted pumpkin seeds (optional)</li>
<li>1 package of frozen cheese ravioli</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Directions</span>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan (minus the pumpkin seeds and ravioli) and blend well.</li>
<li>Heat sauce on low heat and continue to stir until smooth.</li>
<li>Cook cheese ravioli as directed on package.</li>
<li>Top ravioli with sauce, pumpkin seeds, and additional grated Parmesan cheese.</li>
<li>Serve warm and enjoy!</li>
</ul>

<p>The Pomegranate Pumpkin sauce was delicious! It was great on raviolis as well as by itself&#8230; or on crackers! <img src='http://carrotsncake.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I could <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> stop eating it!</p>
<p>The texture was nice and smooth&#8211; almost like a light pumpkin mousse, but not nearly as sweet, a tad cheesy, and with a tart kick of pomegranate from the PAMA liqueur. I wonder how it would taste mixed into oatmeal?</p>

<h3>Afternoon Eats</h3>
<p>After breakfast, I grabbed an iced coffee to take with me to <a href="http://nuval.com">NuVal</a>. It was a chilly morning in Boston today, so it took me quite awhile to finish my iced coffee. Just the thought of cold weather made it tough to drink! Of course, I managed! <img src='http://carrotsncake.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img src="http://carrotsncake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_0429.jpg" alt="IMG_0429.JPG" width="360" height="480" /></p>
<p>Lunch #1: Cranberry Orange Pure Bar</p>
<p><img src="http://carrotsncake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_0431.jpg" alt="IMG_0431.JPG" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p>And banana + peanut butter mash. Love this snack!</p>
<p><img src="http://carrotsncake.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_0440.jpg" alt="IMG_0440.JPG" width="360" height="480" /></p>
<p>When I got home from work, I made lunch #2: toasted potato bread with Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam cheese, sliced apple, and a drizzle of honey. Holy yum!</p>
<p>I ate the remaining apple slices with a little more Mt. Tam smeared on them.</p>

<p>While the guys do their fantasy football thing, I&#8217;m off to veg and catch up with my DVR. I&#8217;m so behind on all of my shows: <em>The Hills</em>, <em>The City</em>, <em>The Office</em>, <em>How I Met Your Mother</em>, <em>Big Bang Theor</em><em>y</em>, <em>Modern Family</em>, <em>Ellen</em>, and <em>Oprah</em>! Lots of boob tube time ahead!</p>
<p>Good night!!!</p>
