And now the first new entry in the new category…
Gnocchi are one of the favorite Italian foods. They’re delicious in either a red sauce or my pesto sauce. I generally always request them as my birthday dinner.
After reading this blog entry on Emeril’s site, I learned something new. They are apparently very popular in Argentina.

I figured that this blog doesn’t go in enough random directions, so I added another. 🙂
The new category is ‘Cooking/Food’. Cooking and food is one of my favorite hobbies. I just went back and added some of the old posts to the category, and i’ll be adding new ones in the future.
After reading this blog post from David Pogue, I feel realy old. There are seriously people in this world who’ve never heard a busy signal?Geez, I must be one of the last people who truly despise call waiting.
I just finished posting the photos from the luau. Check them out now at www.michaelgatti.com/luau. Enjoy. If you’re in any of the photos and want an un-watermarked copy, let me know.
After 2 months of planning and shopping and 2 days of cooking, the big Anniversary Luau was a huge success. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time.
Besides planning and cooking etc., I was also of course the photographer. I woking on the photos and they’ll be on the web very soon.
Thanks to everyone who made this day so special. You all helped create a day that my parents won’t soon forget.
Wow, can it already have been five years since the horrific events of September 11th 2001? It’s amazing when you think about it. It seems like just yesterday that I was at home sleeping and my father woke me up and told me that the World Trade Center and Pentagon had been attacked.
The terrorists tried to change the way that we live, and in that regard they succeeded. But, it wasn’t in the way they expected. They pulled the country together and showed all the best in the American people. What’s more amazing is that the shock still hasn’t worn off either. The bright part in it all is that I think we can all be pretty sure we won’t let it happen again.
Keep watching www.michaelgatti.com/luau for up to the minute status, but as of right now the luau is on as planned. The weather forecast is very promising! Apparently luck is on our side!
I have just about the most sensitive eyes known to man. I also love to cook. This poses a problem when I have to chop onions. Luckily my knife skills are decent so I wind up chopping with my eyes closed. This, of course, is a bad idea!
Enter a good idea… Onion Goggles. Why didn’t I invent these? Thanks to Emeril’s blog, I found these. Too bad I can’t order a pair before I chop 9 pounds of peppers tomorrow for the luau!
Some of you may know that my beloved 600 MHz iBook G3 died last week.
After a trip to see the Apple Genius and a determination that the logic board is dead, I decided to buy a new MacBook instead of paying to get it replaced.
This is my first blog post from my brand new dual core 2 GHz MacBook. (i got the white one, because I cant see paying more for some black paint.)
So far, I love it. I was nervous about getting an Intel Mac because most of my software will have to run using Roseta. After using Classic mode for years after upgrading to OS X I had a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to emulation. However, it has worked beautifully so far and it’s been seemless.
As usual, another great job by Apple.
