There are times in my life when it’s easier to make something at home then drive across the city to get a needed ingredient.  Like on Saturday.  I had to prep ingredients for a demo appearance at Taste of  the Eastside in Barnsdall Park on Sunday.  It was partially a benefit for my nursery school.  As in, the nursery school I went to, Rose Scharlin-Echo Park Cooperative.  I love that kind of continuity!  But to make my Ricotta Gnocchi I really need to use Italian Style Ricotta which is …
