v White Chocolate and Coconut Milk Cupcakes (revisited)

I’ve made these and posted about them before, but I didn’t remember quite how rich and delicious they are. MMMMMMmmmmm. I love these. I had some major issue with them sinking in yet spilling over the sides….? But I managed to hide everything with the frosting. (I cut the excess edge away, piled it in the middle, and covered it all with frosting.) I made these in honor of Peter’s leaving for the Training. Even though I’m going with him….

v 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.

Pecans, sage, butter…

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