08.10.2014 – Gnocchi alla Davide


  "Auuuch…" he says. But I can't cook anything since he has to work for one more hour and I'm going to run. My regular run. That was actually David's and Daniel's idea. Daniel is a sport maniac and David needs to stay fit. (And to lose weight into XXXXXS jeans, I suppose.)
So I'm preparing him some corn flakes and he says: “And will I get my own bowl?!” he's scared that I'm planning to eat it with him which I won't. “You know that I'm going to run, are you? I'm not going to eat, this one's just for you.” He signs with relief. Then he waits till I put his yoghurt on his corn flakes and open a bottle of nuttela. And Daniel is watching us with his critical eye as if he was saying: “What's the point in trying anyway?” but he's silent.

What I definitely need to mention is that David isn't retarded! He's incredibly sexy and hot. He really does look GOOD. He's handsome. Blond, tall, skinny. He has the cutest smile in the whole world. He has dark eyes and is so sweet when he's laughing.
And he's great in bed. Period. (This is the last time you hear me saying something like that.)
He can be serious, he really can. And attractive. But most of the time he deliberately chooses to act silly. As a child or rather as someone who can afford to act in a childish way and still remain absolutely irresistible.
Yes, sometimes he gets on my nerves. (Only mine because Markus is never fed up with him.)
And yes, sometimes he gets lost in his own plays and games and forgets to be “normal” again. But this is David. This is him. It belongs to him. To be the centre of the attention. All the time. (He competes with his best friend Victor though. Sometimes they even fight who gets more attention for longer time.)

Back to Gnocchi.
I put the Håkan Hälström CD into the player and I call for David to help me with making home-made gnocchi. He can do that. He helped me many times. We cooked the potatoes. Now we are making the pastry. And David has to separate the yolks and he hates eggs. Very sad since Markus, his boyfriend adores eggs. He needs to have at least one every day. So David is making sounds of discuss and I´m ignoring him. 
“Asch eggs…. And asch meal….” 
“But you love them to eat.” I remark. 
“Sure but they are discussing…” 
After that we have to make some “snakes” like we call it from the pastry and cut it into pieces. David invented cool method how to make round gnocchi, so he does them and he throws them into the boiling water in a way the water jumps from the pot everywhere, on the walls and also on him. He doesn’t give a shit. Throwing gnocchi is certainly more fun that just insert them carefully to the hot water. I'm careful not to say anything, he is allergic on critic. I can't say anything. I tried once or twice and you can't imagine the crazy reaction and anger. Must be some issue from his formative years.
“Finally you're cooking me something from potatoes, again.” He comments. Which sounds like he who loves potatoes so much never gets them and it's only me who choose the meal. Partly true.
While we're doing this monotone activity, Håkan is playing some romantic songs and it's everything so very romantic. Me and David and pastry everywhere and Håkan sings: “I'm twenty one….” And David adds: “No you are not…” and when the CD continues and Håkan has the courage to repeat his thoughts again: “I'm just sixteen..” David gets almost irritated. “What's his problem? He's old, isn't he?” and there is no point in explaining that this is just poetic licence of him, cause David hates Håkan from some reason and make me hard time right now. 
“Are you going to make some sauce as well?” he asks and I will, so he leaves me and goes to check instagram or facebook or whatever and when the meal is finished I'm so tired that I am hardly able to eat. And when he finishes first his portion he looks at me suspiciously: “I must have given you one gnocchi more, since you haven't finished yet.”
