It's the eve of my first day at work, and I'm nervous. Just thought I'd put that out there. Wish me luck, let's cross our fingers that I don't get fired.
The other night I made gnocchi from scratch. Gnocchi, which is pronounced "nyaw-key" and not "guh-naw-chee" like I thought, is an Italian kind of, uh, thing made of boiled, rolled-up dough. I made the dough out of sweet potatoes and flour by hand. I got the recipe from the paper earlier this week. When I first tried the gnocchi, I hadn't let the sauce cook for long enough so the arugula in it made everything really bitter and I refused to eat anymore that night. But I let the sauce cook a little more, the arugula wilted some more and eventually it all tasted very good, much to my surprise. At first I thought we'd end up throwing the leftovers out, but I finished them for lunch today.
So there, I cooked. Feel free to make fun. Wish me luck again.
