I hardly can wait to spend working on Monday. HOB (husband of blogger) came home after his work took him away for too long. A nice evening out was appropriate but HOB there was food every day on eating medium of almost 3 weeks; extra raw meal, the House was okay. Since he was missed out with some of the best weeks of the year, the farmer's market, I decided to list some of its bounty for dinner homecoming. Ricotta gnocchi menu with brown butter, chanterelle mushrooms, corn from the cookbook lovely as dinner Saturday at Lucques by Suzanne Goin. When I finally finished work day I came home to begin work on the gnocchi. Ricotta gnocchi made ricotta cheese, flour, eggs. When everything is integrated, ball, then cut into sections 4, and then these trimmings half; each half then rolled into a snake and, finally, they are cut in pieces in. Yes, it took time. At first, I took my in pieces of dough rolled them along the tines of a fork, in an attempt to make them look beautiful and authentic, but after much frustration, failure has been my pieces in with no signs of logs in tine. Not very beautiful, but I would rather see them as "rural". The logs were then can into boiling water, dropped out, and set aside olive oil until the sauce was prepared. It was around the time I was ????? shallots with HOB arrived home. Was still a good 30 minutes before dinner was ready, so I went to Prep unpacked, HOB. To make the sauce, chanterelles, nutty are browned butter, olive oil and set aside. More butter is melted, heated until it becomes a nutty, Brown, and tons of fresh sweet corn, shallots, Sage, thyme corn cooked dishes right up. Gnocchi cooked mushrooms poured into a pan and everything he dropped until coated. Instead, I was a huge salad sliced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese will show fresh. Drink wine bottle uncorked, we pop. After all, this was a celebration. HOB was satisfied with homemade sandwich tuna fish, so the fact that he was on top of the meal was ooohing ahhing isn't surprise. I agree, it was very good; corn cooked completely was sweet, nutty, buttery yeast were, but I think the packet was only slightly too heavy for the summer. It was cold outside, I think the meal was divine, but my little logs of cheese, flour belly like a rock sat.Maybe I'm over the handling of the dough? Tomatoes can be some relief but the real star of the wine was, my crop. dryness, liver of butter gnocchi like a knife in my mouth has been refreshed after each exhalation.This would make gnocchi? absolutely again. But wait until the temperature drops at least 20 degrees.

The next night, HOB and I went for dinner. Unfortunately, it was mediocre at best.
