Ricotta Gnocchi Illustrated
Food Newsie likes comparing items. Ricotta Gnocchi, which this author often mispells, ain’t bad either. When the hunt was on to find a recipe for Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi, four recipes stood out and their differences seemed fascinating – how do you know which will be best, or healthiest? Take a pictureful look ahead of time.

Let's Do It: Polishing Silver.
If your childhood was anything like mine, you’ll recognize the smell of polishing silver just by the sight of a Tarn-X bottle alone. If not, let me introduce you – remember the holidays? Before you know it, they’ll be back and all that pretty silver serving ware that you never polished is still waiting for you.

The Pancake You Bake
Breakfast for 8? No problem – and lots easier to explain to the neighbors when it’s a breakfast dish for dinner or dessert. Pancakes made one by one? Forget it – the Finns devised a neat custard that takes all the toppings and delights as a slab. It’s the Finnish Oven Pancake: Pannu Kakku.
Who doesn’t like breakfast for dinner or dessert sometimes? The Finns came up with an oven pancake that takes all the toppings and feeds anywhere from two pancake-crazed lunatics to eight normal people. It’s Pannu Kakku!

Fish'n Chips – Cod or Rockfish?
I never did catch a usable shot of the front of the restaurant or the sign with Cape Cod lined in behind the name, The Cape Codder Restaurant featuring a light house and a sail boat. But I mentioned it. So that’s good. I’ll have to go back!
I took several great things home with me from a recent jaunt out to the Space Coast including a skate board and a book on particle physics (because √-1 ♥ math). More impressive than that was what I learned at a little restaurant the locals were talking about.

Wine for your Turkey from Charles
Whether for leftover turkey or a last minute run to the wine store, here’s a recommendation from Newser Charles and Wine Spectator (90) that’s under $20 and, at least until 3:00PM where you can dash off through empty streets to get it!
Before I could call Charles today, he called me to wish me a happy Thanksgiving – same to him. When asked what he considered the right wine to bring to a turkey dinner, he first responded that a Pinot Noir would do the trick. Then, after a little prodding, Charles cracked.

Livin' The Low Life
Bob called the other day and said in the way he says things, “Dana’s having a potluck and I think we should go.” It’s Dana’s annual Low Country Boil Potluck. Later, I was given a pumpkin. ¶ A “Peanut Pumpkin.” I discovered three things: I can make 10 cups of Chicken Broth easily; I can make French Pumpkin Soup in a pinch, and; French Pumpkin Soup is not what to bring to a Low Country Boil Potluck.
I wanted a quiet weekend. Friday, Bob told me we should head back to Dana’s farm for a potluck. “What are you bringing,” I asked. My eyes got wide. Bob had game. I had 36 hours for thinking, shopping and making something fit for folks in the country. This wasn’t a suburban, let’s sit around watching True Blood kind of potluck where cream cheese and Triscuits would make the grade. We were going to Moose Manor Farms.
