Today I decided to make my Grans Chicken and Gnocchi receipt,It was great.....
It tasted just like my mother's, It brought back wonderful memoirs of when she would come to spend the night and we all would help make the Gnocchi and let it dry over night on top of the towel la din pool table in the basement.....
