FUCK IT!
Gnocchi ..
Ingredients _
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ pound potato gnocchi
1 clove garlic, minced
14 ounces Italian plum tomatoes, halved
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup torn fresh basil leaves
7 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
4 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
4 sprigs fresh basil
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil an oven-safe baking dish.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
While gnocchi is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Cut an "x" into the skin of each tomato with a sharp knife and add to the skillet; stir well. Pour in white wine and simmer until tomatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Using a spoon, gently crush tomatoes to release juice and pulp. Add basil and continue to gently crush tomatoes to create a sauce. Remove and discard tomato skins as they loosen from the pulp. Cook for 1 more minute over low heat. Add drained gnocchi to the sauce and mix until covered with the sauce.
Step 4
Remove skillet from heat and add mozzarella balls, folding everything together gently but quickly, so cheese is coated with sauce but not cooked or melted. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Garnished with fresh basil sprigs.
Cook's Note:
You can use any short pasta like rigatoni or penne instead of gnocchi in this dish.

Shaken, not stirred. Who wants a wimpy watered down martini?
Since when is anything in a martini glass a martini? Chocolate martini, my ass.
And only like gnocchi in a saffron cream sauce.
Is a martini gin or vodka?
Image result for martini
Vodka. The classic martini was created as a gin cocktail, so for those interested in having the typical martini experience, give gin a try. ... "Different brands of gin are made using different botanicals so they all taste unique." If the herb flavor of the gin proves too strong for you, order a vodka martini instead.
Why is it called a dirty martini?
For those who like their cocktails to have a savoury edge, the Dirty Martini is a delicious, slightly salty, choice. The term 'dirty' means that olive brine, usually from a jar of cocktail olives, has been added to the drink. An olive garnish is typically assumed, too.
What are the three types of martini?
Image result for martini
Though there are basic types of Martinis such as Dirty martini, dry martini or wet and perfect, Gibson martini, Gin or Vodka Martini, Shaken or Stirred Martini, and Vesper Martini, you might want to know the specify types of the different martinis that are available out there.
What is a martini shaken not stirred?
Shaking rather than stirring a Martini has two principal effects. One: the rapid movement of ice in shaker melts more of the ice than gentle stirring, thereby diluting the drink. Two: the drink is likely to be cloudy rather than clear. For Martini drinkers, both effects are undesirable.

Guess I'm somewhat of a purist.
3 oz of Nolet's Silver fresh out of the freezer.
1/3 oz Dolin's Dry Vermouth
2 olives on a plastic pick.
Use the olive pick to stir the drink.
Repeat until DesertScrub's posts start to make sense.

I enjoy vodka, or two parts vodka with one part gin. (If you like straight gin, nothing wrong with that, I just prefer vodka.) A small splash of dry vermouth. If you're measuring the vermouth, you're using too much. If you don't add vermouth at all, it's not a martini - it's just a cold glass of vodka or gin.
Shake until extremely cold and pour into a frozen glass. Yes, slight dilution from the ice is not only OK, it's necessary. 90% of the time I'll gently (very gently) twist a lemon peel, but I do crave an olive sometimes. I tried the cocktail onion once. It was interesting, but not for me.
The glass should be FULL. By full, I mean nearly spilling over the top or maybe 1/8" from the rim. If you've got 3/4" of empty space at the top, that's like half a glass because of the shape. Ideally, I like them to pour it right in front of me and leave the shaker, so I can top it off after a couple sips.
Personally, I would NEVER order or mix myself a "dirty" martini, but in my opinion "dirty" should mean 3-4 olives instead of 1 or 2 and AT MOST, maybe the olives could be dipped in the brine immediately before placing them in the drink. Actually pouring olive juice into the drink completely ruins it, and anyone who likes it that way is an idiot.
Pro tip: If you are a true martini lover and enjoy them as I described above then don't order one at a strip club, unless you know the bartender well enough to explain precisely how you want it made. The only strip club bartender I ever knew that made a great martini retired a few years ago. I've struck out so many times. Ordered with a lemon peel and got a lemon WEDGE that was squeezed into the glass. Ordered with an olive and got dirty... and I mean extremely super dirty, even though dirty was never requested. I've gotten martinis that tasted like half vodka and half vermouth. I've given up. Better off just have a beer.

Yes that inferior copycat thread is just an excuse the psycho creep uses to troll TUSCL from the library before they throw him kicking and screaming out the door at closing time.
Thanks for offering some topical breath and depth to this superior discussion thread!
Here we go back to the beginning while the creep troll festers under his bridge, as he does every Sunday because of his forced hiatus from the library.
More gnocchi...

Did you notice how superior this thread is compared to your cooycat thread?
Did you notice how this thread is actually superior to any thread you ever started?
Does posting from the library stymie your thought process hence all the useless shit that you post?
Do you think Cesar Chavez might give up his holiday so that you would have an extra day a year to work on your thought processing?
What's your thoughts on the nutritional value of lettuce?
What's your thoughts on the nutritional value of grapes?
Did you ever have any wine made from grapes squished by Cesar's feet?
Did his feet remind you of younger hat dancing boys?
.

What do you have to hide though?
You always want to discuss only what you want to discuss and ignore serious topical questions from others.
Now why don't you show good faith and answer these serious topical questions...

Maybe now you'll have time to reflect on that, as the Bondo is hardening, stopping up you mouth.

I bet you fantasize about drinking wine made from grapes squished by Cesar Chavez's feet but you're ashamed to admit it.
Did his feet remind you of younger hat dancing boys? *after all they're Mexican too*
Did you need a bathhouse towel boy to dry you off after your excitement of pondering Cesar's feet?
Did you know that Cesar was Catholic?
Does that enter into your obsession over him?
SJG
But you know what? I can still be here posting 24/7 when ever I want. I'll be here posting Sunday if I choose to, how about you, what are you doing Sunday other than wishing Chavez was still around so you could worship his feet after Catholic mass.
Will you post about that tomorrow? Oh nevermind I forgot the library will be closed! LMAO
Are they cheating on their hubby like a certain creep's EX wife used to do?
Truth!

What you have demonstrated in times past is that you like giving yourself a concussion by running into my privacy wall.
That's why you have an ass to mouth fetish and are in dire need of some bondo to repair the holes in your head!
