Cherry triangles, gnocchi, and jelly




So I was thinking about what to write today. I realized that even though I brought my camera with me to York that I forgot the cord to my computer. So you have to wait 1 more week to be able to see pictures of my lovely dorm room. This will give you the full effect when I have had more time to settle in (aka spread all of my crap everywhere in a chaotic mess).

In thinking of this I remembered what I get to look forward to this weekend. My Grandma sent me pomegrantes! Yes! I love pomegrantes - just eating them plain or adding them to a salad. The worst part is peeling them and trying not to stain whatever clothing I have on. Grandma's pomegrante jelly is the best. Lucky for me that stays good all year long!



Looking through some pics I found a few of Gma teaching the kids and grandkids some things. The types of dishes where recipies are a suggestion rather than a rule. The cooking is based more off of a feel and experience that exact measurements. The fine art of baking that cannot really be taught, but only learned through obesrvation and practice.



Throughout the post are pics of the fam learning to make yummy cherry triangles and gnocchi. I don't have any pics of us learning to make fillozes (portuguese donuts). Those are my absolute favorite.

Great pics of your favorite aunt. I like your moms Toby Keith T-shirt. You made me think I can do it. I'm going to make cherry triangles for our Monday night football get together.
