More Culinary Delights Tonight
Christine and I made some gnocchi tonight - they're like the vegetarian's version of meatballs. Gnocchi is made with flour, garlic, ricotta cheese, parsley, and mozzerella. Once you mix all the ingredients together, you roll the mix into meatball-size balls and drop them into boiling water for 15 minutes. Once they're done, the recipe says to refrigerate the for 15 minutes - I'm not sure if this is totally necessary, but it may help the gnocchi to firm up. After that, you put the balls on a pan brushed with olive oil and broil them until browned. We boiled fresh linguini and covered the noodles in a pesto glaze, and then we topped it off with the gnocchi. The resulting meal was a worthy follow-up to the dragon bowls.
It's just after 11 now, so I'll be retiring to the living room with Christine after the blogging is done. Our final project presentation is tomorrow, so I want to be well-rested for the morning. Christine isn't feeling well either and I want to rub her feet (if she reads this, this is the part where she'll break out into a big smile). We may even start a movie if we're feeling adventurous.
My brother David visited today; he was finishing up work and I called him to come over and visit. We talked about starting up a business based out of Cape Breton, something IT-related - he wants to have a good chunk of money saved up ion a few years' time, and he and my brother Daniel have been talking about the Lever brothers starting up a business. I think it's a great idea - I've heard it's not a good idea to go into business with family, but I think I'd be cool doing it with my brothers. We're all pretty tight, so I wouldn't be worried about family squabbles and that kind of drama.
I want to go into business for myself. I can't think of a better way to spend my life than to be working on projects that I'm really passionate about. I like idea of being my own boss, and the kind of freedom that comes with being an entrepreneur and setting your own hours. Something tells me I should really pay attention if I'm working on the pokker websites' backends. This could be an excellent learning experience for me.
Another short blog post, I'm afraid. See you all tomorrow.
