They can't all be winners

For the first time in quite a while, my dinner didn't quite come out as I had hoped/planned.

I wanted to make this recipe, since I thought there would be a good chance I'd get more chard in this week's box. But, as I'm learning quickly, there's no telling what will come each week (I HAVE TURNIPS!?!). So, when I didn't have chard this week, but instead a purple-y, unidentified vegetable that looked like it belonged to the kale family (seriously, I've eaten this vegetable and I still have no idea what it was), I had to roll with it. I also didn't have the lovely, soft ricotta the recipe calls for, but instead your standard Sargento tub of the stuff.

It turned out OK, but it wasn't great. The ricotta was too heavy and stiff to really work like the recipe describes, and the vegetable I had on hand was much more bitter than chard is. Matt liked it, but it was too heavy for me. Maybe I'll try it again when I have the correct ingredients on hand.
