I can’t recall the last time I stayed up to watch the ball drop...I peter out, now ;-)
Me too. It was nice being on the West Coast where we could celebrate New Year’s at nine :-)
I made something new for Christmas dinner, semolina gnocchi. It was Lidia’s recipe and turned out really good. I just finished the last of it for lunch today.
You heat 4 cups of milk with two or three bay leaves and about a tablespoon of fresh thyme. I used one teaspoon of dried. Then whisk in 1 cup of semolina flour. Cooking tell it is nicely thickened. Then add 2 tablespoons of butter, one egg, and 1/2 cup of some cheese mixture. She called for tallegio And that cheese that is similar to Parmesan. padra grano or something. i used to Romano and provolone. I thought it was like insult so I added some of that before adding the egg, so I could taste it. When I took it all and rolled it up and wax paper into a loh. Chilled it then cut it into 1/4 inch rounds. And layered those, shingle style, and an 11 x 7” baking dish. And dotted it with butter and sprinkle on about 1 cup of that same cheese mixture. Baked it at 375 for 30 minutes. The top with nicely browned and bubbly.
