Random Daughter stuff
Daughter's new favorite movie is "Get Smart". (We've seen it three times since the weekend.) It was really, really good, actually, and did not at all deserve to be in the clearance bin at the grocery store. Super funny straight-man humor and action and explosions and gadgets and stuff. I did have to explain about the shoe phone, though.
We also made gnocci together this weekend, together with a somewhat angry meat sauce. (It's amazing what half a teaspoon of chili flakes will do!) I think we need another recipe for the gnocci, though, because they didn't want to hold their shape while waiting to be boiled. :( We had a pile of them made, then started cooking the ones from the top of the pile, when we found out that the earlier-made ones had glommed together. D: Frantic re-rolling, cutting, and forking between batches. D:D: They tasted okay, though, even if they were ugly. Daughter was amused that some of them looked like seafood; she found a fish and a prawn.
She could not say gnocci correctly, though.
NO-kee?
YAW-kee?
nuh-YAW-kee?
nuh-YO-kee?
