I'm going to hell for this.

Tonight I made gnocchi. Tasty, cheesy gnocchi that blossomed in the pot to become light and fluffy bow ties of carbohydrate overload. Brian made a really nice tomato sauce to go with them, and everyone enjoyed them a lot.

Just one problem: I made them with instant mashed potato flakes.


OMG I'm going to hell, aren't I.

I will take this opportunity to say I've thickened soups with them when working for a catering company in NY when we didn't have time to make a roux and simmer the soup.

I may have to be punished.

You won't be going to real Hell. Just sort of Hell made from Instant Hell Flakes.

What is gnocchi, is that Rice Rositto or something? and what is a "bow tie" of carbohydrate?

gnocchi are italian potato dumplings. Super yum!

Clearly you've been away from California too long! If you start eating canned fruit, I'm coming to get you!

Don't be silly.... I stopped buying canned fruit a year ago. Too much sugar.

"Too much sugar."

Oxymoron.

Is that a promise?
