You know those desperate times where you look in the kitchen and see you have no food - nothing at all - and then you somehow come up with the most delicious thing EVER by using the ingredients that are cowering at the bottom of drawers? I think those might be my proudest moments.
Last night's such story starts with Alicia & Seth. They ditched Baltimore for Portland TWO YEARS AGO and left us with a box of random food from their kitchen. Most of it is long gone, but somehow a package of Soba noodles remained, and I have always been intimidated by them. (i know. lame.) I realize they aren't the normal noodle used for peanut noodles, but looking at them got me thinking that I wanted peanut noodles, and I took inventory and found I also had peanut butter, sesame oil, sesame seeds, carrots, lime juice, vinegar and some near-death scallions. Mixed all together, I cannot begin to tell you how tasty this was.
combined with some Superfresh Vegetarian Sushi, and a Gin & tonic, my infinite lime and peanut butter cravings were satisfied for at least 24 hours. My two favorite foods are excellent at collaborating.
