This morning my west coast brother informed me that today is "Gnocchi Day" pronounced 'nyow-kee.' Being curious, and knowing it had something to do with food, I Googled Gnocchi and discovered that they are basically potato dumplings. They looked delicious in the pictures. I started reading recipes, thinking maybe I would make some Gnocchi (forgetting for the moment that we don't have a kitchen right now). As I read, I felt like I had gone down the proverbial rabbit's hole. One recipe specifically said to use one whole egg and the yolk of a second egg, while the next recipe said never use eggs. And so it went with just about every ingredient except potatoes. They all agreed that there must be potatoes as the main ingredient.
Finally I decided to see if there was another food being celebrated today and, guess what, today is "National Corn Chip Day." Now there's a day and a recipe we could easily celebrate, even without a kitchen. Put out a bag of chips, a bowl of salsa and a bowl of queso and dig in. Happy Corn Chip Day everyone.
