Then I learned a little secret from my bookkeeper at the non-profit. Her grandfather's secret. Ready? Potato flakes! He used them instead of riced potatoes, eliminating the gummy texture. Light as clouds they were! Unfortunately, I lost the recipe a while back but you've inspired me to experiment and try to jog my memory!<br /><br />KarinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-288213255432585242011-12-11T09:55:36.322-05:002011-12-11T09:55:36.322-05:00Magda - it is definitely worth the "trial and...Magda - it is definitely worth the "trial and error" to get these dumplings to your table! A for the gadgets, they all have multiple uses - the ricer is great for making the best mashed potatoes, and the gnocchi board is used in making several different types of fresh pasta.<br /><br />Tulika - all is well here! Today is the first (annual, we hope) cookie study break at Honors. Cookies (homemade by alumni, friends and staff) with hot cocoa and cider this afternoon to help fuel the studies for final exams! Wish you were here to bake, too! Definitely try the gnocchi - I know you like a good pesto and this is a nice combo!Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-74823125356534850022011-12-10T19:24:15.261-05:002011-12-10T19:24:15.261-05:00Wow!
