Homemade Potato Gnocchi: Rich flavour on a budget!
Over a year ago I did a tutorial on gnocchi but I just wanted to go over it again. I had some potatoes that were on their way to the compost any day so I wanted to use them up and make a special treat for Reg while on holidays. Is there any better comfort food? I doubt it! This time I used a Food Network Kitchens recipe for very basic gnocchi.

Given my heritage I was practically born with a leg of lamb in my hand. There comes a time in every Australian-born ethnic girl’s life however where she must say NO to the cascading beef and spend a few days strictly vegetarian for the well-being of the universe. This vegetarian stint begins TODAY. Subtle hints of garlic embedded in soft potato beside fresh, crunchy cos and a citrusy creamy dressing; what you are about to experience is delicious, healthy and just… AAHHHHH.
For KSG, who is dying for pomme frites. On free Saturdays that are not packed with activities, I like to take Son and Daughters to our local farmers market for some browsing and eating. Mostly I encourage Son and Daughters to taste the different seasonal fruits and to enjoy them in all of their glory. Daughter #1 is extremely adventurous and is willing to try (LOVES to try) all variety of samples, including baked goods and more unusual fare. Daughter #2 is far more cautious and wants to try things she recognizes, but only if I give it to her.
