Story
An old Italian tradition is that on the 29th of each month, you make gnocchi.
Before eating, you fold a dollar bill (your gnocchi dollar)
in special way, and put it under your plate. Then, if you finish all
your gnocchi, it will insure you will have enough money coming
in next month to pay the bills.
