Slacker indeed... Lets just say I had surprise visitors this week. All is back to normal now and I spent the day cooking for the week. Tonight we had pot roast. I love pot roast! I am a firm believer in chuck making the best roast ever. But my real favorite part of pot roast is the carrots and gravy. I think everyone else eats the carrots because they have to but I LOVE them. They are sweet and beefy and yes I drink the broth right from the bowl.
On to the gnocchi -I have made good gnocchi in the past and thought I knew what I was doing until I was reading Julias MTAFC and she uses pate a choux with her riced potatoes. WHAT! WHY? a little research and come to find out the french found a way to perfect gnocchi (or so I read) Anyway bottom line is my ratios of potatoes to choux paste must have been off because they ended up disintegrating in my boiling water, both batches...1 hour wasted! I think I have time tomorrow at work to try again and weigh the potatoes this time, because I cannot believe Julia would publish something that fails.
I guess I was in a soup mood cause I cooked beans and green soup along with Mexican beef and potatoes (version of caldo) I have two whole chickens that I will try to tackle tomorrow...
