Gather round and I’ll tell you a tale about a pile of water and flour that took over my life for an inordinate amount of time. That’s right. I cracked. I fell into the coronavirus trap of building a sourdough starter. Unlike everyone else though, I decided to really commit to it as things started […]

When you have too much time on your hands…make gnocchi
