MRS M: I used the last ball of Pasta Dough to roll some fresh Gnocci for my soup today..
It will be my Healing Heart soup to share with my neighbor who is helping me shovel the foot of snow that buried us last night..The aroma is great! in the house and it's got another hour to simmer.. have to grate some hard Perc cheese and then Soups On Everyone.....
Today I decided to give in and buy a triple Pasta head for my Kitchin Aid. Have tried to find one to Snipe but the three I found are all BIN.. YUCK... I will just keep looking.
Found one in a Pawn Shop. One missing the Fett
cutter and a new one at a dealer with four on hand but BIN.. 52 days till Spring - I'll be broke Sniping by then... I'm not used to winning
ALL my bids..( I Sniped all new batteries for my Power tools) .I think a "Sniping Diet" is the answer....mory
Veg Beef I put the Veg first as there's less Beef. I" bake" the beef HOt in a browning bag with carrot celery and Onions. Then cut up the beef place bag in gal of water & simmer. chill overnight. Skim off ALL the fat. 2nd day add cubed potato, More celery carrot Onion in big chunks. 1 hr before dinner I add Mushrooms,
Chunks of green Pepper, and a large can of plum tomato. This is not done earlier as they will disintergrate. NO Salt & No Fat. jUST BEFORE SERVING I add the pasta potato Gnocci (Already boiled) If salt is critical use fresh plum tomato or drain the juice off the plums. I also put a little Hot salsa in the potato stuffing in the Gnocci) Serve in a white low plated porcelain dish w/ grated Perc and if used for a wedding add a dalop of Kafir lime (joke)lemongrass cream. It's good enough for any chuckwagon headed for the Oregon Trail- if served with a basket of Mom's Fluffy Biscuits.
Anything left I freeze in a freezer bag= for a neighbor. Monday I have a 24# case of wild smoked
Alaska Pink Salmon coming -which I sniped = &(saved $40) any Ideas? .. mory

Mrs. M. Of Course - I'm flattered

I tried to make a correction but I was late.
It said grated "Perc" what I meant was grated Pec short for "Pecorino"
Pecorino is just a little touch of Heaven here on Earth. It is a 1 yr old sheep milk cheese and
Italy's finest cheese bar none!...People put it on a cheese board, This is wrong ..it has intense rich nutty but sharp flavor and excels at being GRATED because it grates in a flake. Just a few grates of this Tuscany cheese put any soup "Over The Top" {Try French Onion}
It is expensive but we get what we pay for - right?
I have a two inch wedge wrapped in Saran, In foil and a bag in my butter compartment of Frig.
I make it last 6 months .. Buy a little slice it goes a long way. Pecorino means "Grand Old Man"
The Best is made by the Fratelli Putzulu family..
Purveyors to The Pope. It's my true Secret Ingredient in many things I prepare. mory

Mrs.M Also try Simple Eggs Pecoreno - or
"Eggs For My Grand Old Man"
Smear an Iron skillet with margerine and place on medium heat - While pan is heating - wisk four eggs. 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar, some diced onion or chives and 1/3 cup half & half or milk. Add a shake of black pepper. Add to hot skillet - Start some toast & coffee, As eggs start to set fold gently over with wooden spoon. Plate with toast points a sprig of parsley preserves or with Marmelade Garnish with a grating of Pecorino. If I'm having a late Snack add a couple mushrooms in winter and asparagus in spring (sliced cucumbers tsp Oilve Oil & Pecoreno for salad).
For Dinner: Double & add a few shrimp and bake it. slow. Serve in the skillet with Fluffy Biscuits , Honey... and Pecorino... Serve your best Coffee or Tea. Enjoy while watching The Soprano's..then back to Sniping ... mory
