Mid week fun

Hope your Wednesday went well! Work today flew by! I was so focused on my project, I hardly noticed the time! After work, I did the usual house clean and some ironing and then ran to teach turbo. Class went really well but I am excited to roll out the new round next week! After class, two of my favorite students invited me to dinner. We went to a restaurant close to the gym and I ordered a massive salad. It was totally delicious. They were very sweet and treated me to dinner! I then came home and prepared the gnocchi for Josh! I had a little sampling myself because I had to see how it was. The taste was great, a cross between mash potatoes and pasta. Josh said they tasted exactly how he remembered. The texture was a little off (a little mushy) so I am excited to give it a second try and adjust the ingredients. Anyone have any suggestions? I think having the potato ricer will make it a LOT easier.

I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already! I am thrilled that the work week is almost done! Next week I have training for the majority of the week so you will probably see a lack of recipes! I will try to take pictures of what I eat out at dinner!

I tried gnocchi in Italy and it was amazing. Not a clue on how to cook it myself though. :) Do let us know how it goes. It looks great!

That was nice of the girls to treat you to dinner. Your gnocchi look good, that is something I have not attempted to make. Good luck experimenting.

Aww, so lovely that your students treated you to dinner!!

I've never made gnocchi before, but I've eaten it, haha ;0) Sorry that I can't make a suggestion on how to improve the texture!

HAPPY THURSDAY!!! :0)

I have got to try gnocchi one of these days.

That was so nice of your students to invite and treat you to dinner, you must be a kickass instructor! Wish Icould check out a class! I have the turbo jam dvd but I get too distracted and bored when I use things like that for exercise :(

I love gnocchi, but have never tried making it before. I am sure the ricer will help. I am obsessed with cooks tools!
