Traditional Hungarian gnocchi recipe

To make: Wisk together 1-2 eggs (1 egg for 1-2 people, 2 for 2-4 people) a half a cup of room temperature water and a good pinch of salt. Once combined add enough plain flour to make a thick batter (make sure you get this bit right as it determines the texture of the gnocchi). When I say thick I mean it should be like a cake batter consistency but when you lift the fork out, the batter should not fall off with ease.

To cook: bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Using a spoon, scoop the mixture and with your finger over the boiling water, cut it into bit size pieces. This will take time to get and become speedy with as the gnocchi cooks quickly and over cooking it causes them to become mushy. If there is a large amount of batter, do it in batches so the ones that were cooked first don’t over cook.

Frozen Lion Cubs Still Have Their Fur 12,000 Years

More than 12,000 years ago, lions dwelled in the caves of present-day Russia.

Two cubs from the ice age were recently uncovered in the Siberian Arctic, perfectly frozen in the permafrost. Named Uyan and Dina after the Uyandina river where they were recovered, the cubs still had their fur and whiskers.

“It’s the first time in history that a cave lion, although it is a cub and not a grown-up animal, was found with all the fur, internal organs and soft parts of the body so well-preserved,” Valery Plotnikov, a researcher at the regional Academy of Sciences, said to The Associated Press. Cave lions, the prehistoric relative of modern-day lions, are believed to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago.
