Well, it’s come to this. My schedule got all goofed up today which prevented me from grocery shopping on my regular day. So the best I could come up with was grilled cheese with regular Kraft singles, a can of soup, and a salad. Sometimes a simple grilled cheese is all you need.
Mushroom Pasta
To conclude Noodle Week, I went with mushroom and asparagus pasta and a garden salad. The recipe didn’t call for asparagus, but I added it anyways. That was good eatin’.
RECIPES:
Pad Thai
For the third recipe of Noodle Week, I decided to go back to some Asian foods and try making pad thai and egg drop soup. This recipe called for tamarind paste which I didn’t have. I think it might be a key ingredient. This tasted good, but it didn’t taste like pad thai. My mom made this a few weeks ago and hers tasted totally different. So one of us messed up pretty bad.
RECIPES:
Haluski and Czernina
Haluski, czernina (duck blood soup), a garden salad, and a paczki for dessert. With it being Noodle Week and Fat Tuesday, this was the perfect dish. It’s Polish and has noodles. Continue reading “Haluski and Czernina”
Ramen Noodles
It’s Noodle Week folks! And what’s a better way to kick off Noodle Week than with the Japanese classic, Ramen Noodles. I thought I knew what ramen noodles were. They were those packs of noodles you could buy 50 for a dollar at the grocery store. I pretty much lived on ramen noodles all through college. But when I met Aya, I was schooled on what ramen noodles really were. You can add all kinds of stuff to them, but tonight was the typical hard boiled egg, pork, vegetables, and buttered corn with a pork broth soup. I don’t have a recipe because I used the instant pack her mom sent to us. Aya is a ramen noodle snob and thinks the American packets just don’t come close. My response to that is that Japan doesn’t know how to make hot dogs. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
