After Dinner Thoughts

Mmmm...instant potato gnocchi is fairly easy to prepare and mighty tasty too! We all enjoyed this dish enough to put it on the repeat list. It was a perfect Valentine's Day dish.

I'm off work today. Michael had rotator cuff surgery this morning. It was an outpatient procedure, so he's already at home. He's sleeping right now with Jazzi, our oldest cat, curled up by his side. The doctor said it all went well and in about 6-8 weeks he should be fully recovered. Tomorrow he starts physical therapy. I just hope after all this he is pain free, at least in that shoulder.

I really must share a book recommendation with you. A friend of mine suggested I read The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister. This story is a real gift from the author! It's an easy read with a simple yet touching tale to tell. Each chapter focuses on a different student in a Monday night cooking class. Many thanks to Katie for suggesting this book. I recommend you check it out from your local library; and if your library doesn't have it, request it through interlibrary loan and the library will get it for you!
