I love going on dates. I mean, I go with the same human every time, but I still get a thrill!
Like, getting dressed up & having someone legally bound to take selfies with you is such a blessing.
I can just be like, “K come down here on the porch where the lighting is brilliant & look cute while I smize!” & he still wants to sit through dinner with me…… Marriage is awesome.
We just have so much fun being absolute morons. He’s totally on board when I want to get way overdressed to go to a normal restaurant. I just like tricking people into thinking we’re more elite than we are. Not that anyone actually wonders what our social status is, but you get what I mean. Leave them wanting more or something.
His reward for letting me prance around all weekend were these lil guys.

This is my favourite way to do home made gnocchi too – fried in butter and sage, bit of parmesan on the top, best meal!! Also love that there’s another couple out there loving being morons together 😀

It really is the best! These were much lighter gnocchi than any of the store bought brands so I was able to eat wayyyyy more 😉 Thanks for reading!

You just made me think of my favorite pasta dish from a now defunct Atlanta restaurant. They had an apple and sausage ravioli drizzled with brown butter and fried sage. Now I have to figure it out. Crap.
This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it.
