G & G (gnocchi & Gus)

One of my son's favorite meals is homemade gnocchi with meatballs.  For his last dinner before heading back to college I made it for him.

Ready for the boiling water.

Finished product.  I serve them with turkey meatballs that were simmering in tomato sauce in a crock pot.

 About 15 years ago when my kids were young I sewed myself a witch costume for Halloween.  I used to wear it handing out candy.  I haven't used it in years.  This year one of my classmates asked me if I had some sort of costume that she could borrow.  Was I ever surprised when I brought it down from my attic.  It had been hanging in a plastic bag, well preserved, so I thought.  Apparently, after years of extreme temperatures (hot in the summer and freezing in the winter) the fabric became brittle and just basically fell apart.  I couldn't just throw it our before having someone special model the hat and cape for me one last time!
