Oh...I have never made gnocchi, but I swear I'm salivating at the thought of trying this!

For what it's worth, my younger daughter was the first to ink herself. "Personal style, I’m learning, is often baked in from the beginning." A resounding yes! She chose a phrase from a classic novel, asked me to pen it in my handwriting (sneaky!), and put it where it would only be seen when she wore a bathing suit. Now, a little less than a decade later, the ink has bled and spread, rendering the words less legible, and she's getting it laser-removed. Eight painful sessions. What is it they say? A tattoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. My girl plans to get the same one again, on the other side of her torso, from a more reliable tattoo artist this time. So, there's that. 😊

A tattoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling - I love that. But through it all, the process hasn't turned your daughter off, just honed her vision. There's something to that!

"Baked in from the beginning" with that one, for sure. Thanks, Lindsay. And if you have any insider's tips for making gnocchi, feel free to share. It'll be a week or two before I get to it (day job is kicking my butt right now), but I'm serious about trying those. Thank you!

Great article! Great photographs when I was 18 I had no desires for tattoos. Now I am 62 and have many. How things change!
