"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These were in all three sister's (Rosie, Angie and Theresa's) recipes. They are a favorite of Theresa's great grandson Zach's. Theresa's son-in-law, Jack, calls them lead belly dough balls jokingly. They are requested every time Theresa comes to Dayton. It is also a favorite of her other great grandson's, Patrick Stopperich. His wife, Tabatha said that "a few years ago, Gram made bags of frozen gnocchi for everyone to enjoy. Patrick, being the food lover he is, could not wait for dinner time and decided to cook a extra large appetizer before I got home from work. He got so excited to taste this special homemade treat that he hard boiled the entire bag for entirely too long. He turned the whole pot into a bowl of mush but still proudly ate it and left one dirty dish for me to clean. I love the note that Angie had with the recipe pictured above!
