Jeeze, it’s been a while. I don’t know, I think I’ve been needing a blogging respite. It’s started to feel like work updating things. Anyway, what’s been going on with me?

Mom’s visit was very nice and relaxing. It was also (deserved) time off for myself as I was starting to burn out/ reach the limits of my tether. I suppose the rambling & repetitive rants that preceded my disappearance from Stephen & Elisabeth Land were enough of a signifier of my mental state. Anyhow, all is good now & I’m all chilled out and ready to resume stressing myself out.

The recipe du jour is baked gnocchi. I got this recipe via a colleague via her boyfriend: fry up a red onion, add chopped tomatoes & lots of oregano. Boil & simmer. Add to a casserole dish with fresh gnocchi (Not yet cooked) and mix together. Top with fresh mozzarella and bake until it starts to go golden on top. Just delish! I tweaked it a bit but that was the basic recipe and there are enough Italians reading this that I’m sure you’ve all got fantastic ideas on how to make this sucker taste even better.

We saw V for Vendetta on the weekend – a relatively faithful adaptation of the comic. Think of the movie version to American Psycho – sure it wasn’t verbatim but the spirit of the thing was there. Of course, the comic was better.
