During my first attempt at making my own gnocchi, I had it all planned out and prepped. I carefully peeled all the potatoes, cooked them an appropriate level of yumminess, and then proceeded to measure them out. My 1-cup measuring cup was dirty so I grabbed my half-cup one and went at it.

The next thing I knew, I was pouring the rest of the ingredients onto my board and being asked what I was making. I started explaining gnocchi, but B wouldn’t have any of it. “Nooo, I mean, is that a mountain?” Of course it is! Er. Well, sorta. With snow! I added two cloves of garlic and suddenly it looked more like a frog. Oops.

You see it, right? Right?? Hmmm….
