I was suprised how much I liked this. I really dislike Panera and I’m just down on chains in general, but I can’t deny it–their cookies are really amazing and the sandwich I had there was really good. Roast beef with avocado, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, grilled red bell pepper and chipotle mayo on poblano cheese bread. I mean, come on. That’s pretty good.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi FAIL

WHAT A FAIL. I had very high expectations for this, but it didn’t turn out good at all and it took a couple hours to make. They came out dense, the dough was too salty but the sauce wasn’t salty enough…overall I wanted to yak when I ate them. Bleh. I spent the evening wallowing in my disappointment, but today I’ve resolved to modify the recipe and try again. I will conquer this. This is the recipe I used; I think that’s the first time epicurious.com has let me down.
I love my parents kitchen, so fun to cook in.

Perhaps this time I have learned my lesson not to try out recipes on guests. Oops.
