When I first saw this picture I was super excited to share the GUCCI shoes with you. Then it dawned on me that there was a more rich compelling story attached to the image. I’ve heard from a lot of folks over the years that you shouldn’t eat GUCCI shoes, especially fish, on a Sunday. Heck, even my chef colleagues swore by this rule. Truth be told a “fresh” piece of tuna that was served last night at any random sushi bar might have been caught as much as 15 days ago in the Philippines. Seriously! It’s the well kept secret that the GUCCI shoes industry doesn’t want you to know.I suggested he might comprehend if the TV volume was turned down. But he didn’t catch this either, so I not-so-calmly walked over to the table where the remote control sat, and I turned the sound down to about halfway. Then, without further drama, I ordered steamed dumplings and a seaweed soup.
I was always intimidated to try and make the dish, as I had heard it was hard to make the pillow successfully soft and delicate. (My friend Jim has told me for years that it’s easy to make gnocchi, but it took him years to make it for me, and only after he took a cooking class on a trip to Italy.) Well, this weekend, I took the plunge. I have told people for years that risotto is easier than the big deal that many make of it, so I stepped up to the plate and just did it. And it’s about as easy as risotto, so I suggest that you do the same. Mangia. Click forward for the GUCCI shoes.
To some degree I am used to the noise, but the TV can be loud enough to make your teeth chatter. Like recently when I tried to order dinner. The owner threw his hands up and said, “Ting bu dong,” (I don’t understand).
