MFM: 3 cheese gnocchi with mushrooms

Another MFM recipe, this one is really awesome, it serves 4 at a push, but you may need to increase doses or add a salad, since there are never left overs.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gnocchi (can use spinach, we use potatoe)
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic (may need an extra one depending on cheese)
  • At least 2 soft cheeses (about a cup fill), like goats, mascarpone, or smooth cottage cheese can also use ricottoa
  • One hard cheese (about 2 tablepoons grated / sliced fine) that has a bit Parmesan or Grana Padano or something like that. No stringy cheese.
  • Protabello mushrooms
  • 2 teaspoons of thyme / parley (best case fresh, but can use dried)
  • optional black pepper for when you serve
  • 2 table spoons dry white wine (optional, but use if not using black pepper), can use a teaspoon of white vinegar instead, this cuts through the cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Utensils

  • 30cm frying pan
  • Large pot for doing the gnocchi
  • Knife and chipping board

Instructions

  • add oil to pan
  • chop onion very fine add to the pan with oil warm
  • Chop garlic, and thyme, when onions translucent (should take 2-3 mins) add to the pan and reduce heat
  • Chop mushrooms to bit size add to pan
  • Start boiling water for gnocchi in pot (you need a deep pot and a lot of water about 5 liters at least)
  • Once mushrooms have produced water let it reduce of about a minute, then add wine  reduce
  • Chop soft cheese into little thumb nail size squares
  • Chop or gate the hard cheese (if chopping, chop into very small pieces, this is preferred)
  • Once wine almost reduced add soft and then hard cheese, stir in all ingredients until mixes and melted
  • By this time the water should be boiling
  • Add gnocchi to water
  • Remove pan for heat (all the cheese should be melted and liquid)
  • As the gnocchi rise to the top scoop off and add to sauce, once all added toss them so they are covered in sauce.
  • Serve with a little black pepper if wanted.

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency – what is it and how can I benefit

What is it I started investigating Bitcoin when it was worth just over $1000 a bitcoin. I was interested in what it was and how it worked. A lot of people are saying we missed the boat, but I believe that everyone should at least try put a little money in now, or at least use a faucet (see below) to make a little micro-currency. You can read a Wiki article about bitcoin and its history etc. But what you need to know is that it is a currency, that is independent of country. No one really knows who invented the concept of a cryptocurrency since the person who published the paper used a nom de plume. All new cryptocurrencies work more or less the same way as Bitcoin. So as I explain below I interchange these terms. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. How Bitcoin works The currency releases a coin based on a mathematical formula. There will never be more than 21 million bitcoins (other cryptocurrencies do not work like this). Each bitcoin can have divided into one hundred mil

Mindfullness Meditation and Depression - in a pod cast

Over the last 3 years I have found that meditation has really assisted me, in resolving the depression I have had. I have planned to write about my experience for a while, and hopefully will get around to doing that. However today having listen to the latest podcast by Dan Harris on 10% happier, so many things just clicked in to place, so I want to share it. To understand what is covered in the podcast I would recommend you understand what mindfulness meditation is, and what the default mode network in the brain is (see links below). Listen to the pod cast - but here are some extracts (which I do not have permission to publish - and will remove if asked).
