gnocchi di rosaria

On Monday night Ivano and i had his mom's gnocchi for dinner. It was fan-freaking-tastic. Rosaria made the gnocchi when she was here in July and they have been in the freezer. Last night was one of the special nights. And what made it especially special is that we were not celebrating anything in particular. Just a night together after a long day. It was nice to eat, but a little sad too. I couldn't help but think about all things that are not shared when families are so far away. And I was thinking about Ivano as a little kid and his grandmother sucking fresh eggs out of the shell in Campagna.
