@jocose Is that Pearl Barley in the centre? It's one of my favourite grains for easy cooking. I often add a few tablespoons when slow cooking curries and Stovies stew so I don't need to also cook rice to serve with them!

For the longest time, I have been cooking #gnocchi as described on the package.

Wait until the water in pot comes to a boil, then add the gnocchi, and wait the allotted time of 2-3min.

The issue with this method is that it is not lazy proof. (Yes, I am a #lazycook.)

First one needs to know exactly how water is necessary so that the amount of added gnocchi first doesn’t overflow the pot and second isn’t too little that it burns. Have had it in the past that I stepped away a bit too long and all the water evaporated away.

Instead first add the gnocchi, then the water so that it just covers the gnocchi. This way there is no guesstimating how much water is necessary. The only downside is that the gnocchi comes out on the bit more soggy side.

Next issue is waiting for the allotted time to pass. This means one needs to track the time with a secondary device. That is just too much work and there is a much more simpler way to estimate it.

Once it comes to a boil (put on highest heat to get the fastest results), just wait patiently, and eventually foam will be created and rise. Right before it is about to boil over remove it from the heat and the gnocchi is finished.

This method works good with pots of 1-4L assuming the gnocchi dry weight is 500g.

I wish leaf lettuce weren't such a hassle... You have to take it out of the fridge, break it off, wash it, put the rest back in the fridge, and you barely get anything out of it. I wish they sold pre-torn leaf lettuce in stores. Like outside of those unpleasantly bitter, limp-leaf salad mixes.

Maybe I should start just like, getting a head of lettuce, then tearing the leaves off all in one go and storing them in a tupperware or something. My only worry is, would that make them wilt faster?
