FRESH GNOCCHI FOR A SUMMER FEAST

Finding some ricotta cheese in the fridge, I decided to make enough gnocchi for 3 families.A cooler kitchen allows the pasta to be firm. Putting it in the freezer to keep it fresh for dinner later, a simmering ragu-meat sauce will complement the dish.  Although only the end of August, this cold weather dish is always a favourite with my family.

With just a salad it is a great meal. Or it can be a side dish for a full dinner. I often make it with potatoes but heh today cleaning out the fridge netted the family this hearty pasta treat!

FRIDAY IS PIZZA AND CALAMARI

So I bought my pizza for the gang from Grande Cheese as normal. I had bought a large bag of calamari or I thought they were calamari. Anyway sitting down to dinner Friday the calamari looked rather thin. My little grandson stated are they onion rings grandpa? Barb even dipped hers in cocktail sauce. They looked like calamari in the bag. So we had pizza and onion rings along with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden. Not time I will read the package. However, they were in the frozen fish section of the store!
