Description:

I haven t fallen into the TikTok rabbit hole, just yet. I feel I m almost too old for Instagram, TikTok seems really far fetched. I mean, if 14-year old Niece is really into it as the majority of teenagers are I m not sure it s something apt to her uncle. In addition, let s be honest, I don t have any particular good dance moves nor I m skilled in telling jokes or doing sketch comedy: How am I supposed to contribute to the TikTok community? You get my point.Let s say that my feelings towards TikTok are similar to those brilliantly expressed by Amy Poehler in her very funny interview with Willie Geist on the Sunday Sitdown podcast If TikTok was a window, I would be a weird person standing outside of it. Ha!Life is definitely too short to eat second-class mashed potatoes.I like mine with a shameless amount of butter and milk (or cream) and it s been hard to make them any other way. That was until I tried these uh-mazing Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes.Children and adults alike love chocolate pudding and have done so for years. Usually eaten as a snack, pudding can be also a refined dessert.Though it s easier to buy ready-made pudding (or instant pudding) sold in grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, and even gas stations I urge you to try making it at home at least once.It s a hundred times better, way cheaper, and you can tweak to make it suit your tastes more sweet, less sweet, more thick, less thick, and so on.Laura, my cousin-in-law, is sort of obsessed with my Semolina Gnocchi (aka gnocchi alla romana.) I made them for her, her husband (i.e., my cousin Mark), and their children once they came over for dinner like two years ago and apparently they ve been on her mind ever since.I gave her the recipe (THIS recipe, word for word) but she swears that the gnocchi she makes are good but do not come even close to mine.I m quite confident that it has only to do with the fact that memories are always better than reality this recipe is so simple and easy that it s almost impossible to mess up. It s actually so straightforward that after making it a few times, you won t need the recipe at all.Just seven ingredients each one a common staple, except perhaps for the semolina flour are all you need to whip up this classic Italian main dish. Finish your broccoli! Eat your broccoli or you can t have dessert! If you feed your broccoli to the dog one more time, you re grounded! I m sure we ve all been threatened in a similar way with broccoli by our moms. They wanted us to grow up healthy, so they made us consume spoonfuls of the cruciferous vegetable despite our disapproval.Chances are that, growing up, we didn t like it that much, even if it was referred to as tiny trees or other cutesy names. Maybe that happened because it was mostly served kind of mushy or slathered in cheese. Maybe it was just one of those vegetables that you had to eat like some sort of punishment.Today I have a great recipe to share with you. A mild and (super) creamy chicken curry that comes together in 30 minutes with ingredients you ll likely have already in the pantry.I mean: Chicken, onion, apple, oil, yogurt, milk (or cream), and curry powder. That s about it.A simple recipe, very easy to make and that s perfect for kids and those who don t like their curries too hot.Happy New Year y all!What a rough year 2020 has been, I m pretty sure we all agree that it s the kind of year that belongs in the rearview mirror and we re all glad to put it behind us. But before we dive into the new year plans, goals, and resolutions I think it s important to look back and to highlight to yourself the good things that have also happened throughout the year.I for one originally set my reading challenge to 30 books but with the lockdowns I ve been reading far more than anticipated and I ended up finishing 54 books (with a good mix of fiction and non-fiction books.) It s a small feat that probably means nothing to anybody, but I am very happy with it.I took up rope jumping as an alternative to running outdoors and I soon learned it s a great cardio workout, and I was able to nail the double under after a little over a month of practice. I ve also cleared out my closet and house of a ton of stuff that was crowding out my life, which was good.Last, but not certainly least, I ve cooked/baked a ton of good stuff.Staying home for the holidays amid pandemic restrictions made me realize that for the first time in years (read this as ever) I will be home to water a fresh-cut tree and not let it die. Since almost all the holiday festivities have been canceled (or restricted) having the smell of a real tree in the house might be a way to keep some of the holiday spirit going and help me get through with what I ve heard has been called the Covid blues. After all the holidays haven t been cancelled this year, we have to celebrate in a meaningful, albeit different, way.Here s a great little recipe in case you have some (or a lot) leftover pumpkin puree from your Thanksgiving baking a nice way to use it up before it s forgotten in the back of your fridge.And if you don t have leftovers, don t worry, you can always open up a can of pumpkin puree like I did.This entire site 2011-2020 TheIronYou and all its contents and photographs herein, unless otherwise specified, are copyrighted by the holder of the site.
