I'm hungry of gnocchi!

Today, i’m going to talk about my favorite food…THE GNOCCHI!
The gnocchi is a kind of italian food, is made of potato but it can make with many different ingredients like pumpkin or ricotta. Like every pasta, the gnocchi is served with salsa.
The ingredients of gnocchi dough’ are: 1 kilo of big potatos, 300 g of flour, 2 eggs, salt and nutmeg.
First wash the potatoes and cook in their skins. When they are ready, peel and grind. Then add the flour and stir, finally add the salt.
Later turn the dough into a table and knead with hands, form thin and long rolls and cut two cm each one.
To finish put them in a hot water pot on fire. Know that gnocchi are ready when they rise to the surface.
They are different types of salsa like bolognesa, putanesca and alfredo. My favorite is the putanesca that has olives, tomatos, aji, garlic and more. Its a mediterranean sauce.
I like very much this dish because mi grandmather cooked every Sunday when i went to see her since i was a child. Now, my grandmather its gone but my mother makes them like a familiar tradition.

The anthropology according The Guardian

Hi! Today I’m going to talk about an article of The Guardian, an England newspaper. This article talks about anthropology, the career who I study. In first place, presented the anthropology like the study of the human species, its culture and history, and said that it may cover language, physiology, art and the organization of society.
The article has the advantages of studying anthropology and talk about the tools who this discipline gives to you, what they are about the courses, and much more. In this manner, the news talk about what will I learn if study this discipline, what skills will it give me, what job can I get and what will look good on my CV.
So, according The Guardian the anthropology "it's taking an interest in other people's lives - what they do, how they do it and why they bother, is a broad subject that explores how, when and where human life began and examines human behaviour, cultures, history and social organisations. It even attempts to answer some of the big questions about what it is to be human."
About the skills who give the career, the article said you should graduate armed with the tools to observe, listen and question the ways in which people and society act.
Anthropology incorporates a number of other disciplines, so you will have also acquired an understanding of sociology, history, biological sciences and possibly development studies.
You should be able to articulate your opinions, either through oral presentations or in essay forms, and have an empathy for the way other cultures and societies live.
The fieldwork aspect of your course will mean you will know how to work in a team, research ideas and present them to a wider audience.
About the jobs the news relates that you could work in the public sector, perhaps as a charity fundraiser or community development worker, although you will be suitable for a host of others. Journalist, librarian, human resource officer are other options, and if you want to do a touch more study you could become a social researcher, lecturer or information scientist.
