Black Sesame Noodles


She shoots, and she scores!!!!!

OK. The first thing you might wonder is "Black Sesame Noodles?" Yes. I couldn't find black sesame seeds, so I went with the oldy but goody white sesame seeds. And, the only thing I'll say about that is, that I wish I put more in, because, um, YUM!

I'm gonna tell you some of the flavors, but just know that it's super easy, even though there are a lot of components. You basically throw a bunch of stuff in a food processor, shred some veggies, and cook some pasta.

So here goes: fresh ginger, garlic, carrots, cucumber, radishes, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot pepper, some other odds and ends, and then top it off with fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Yummmm-frickin-y.

Clearly, tonight's dinner gets the full 5 stars. I actually did not get a second serving, because I wanted to leave room to have a slice of my freshly baked bread tonight for a snack. Food just tastes so much better when you make it from scratch.

Coconut Rice with Edamame and Leeks

Comfort food vegetarian style. I could not possibly tell you how many times I've made this dish over the last 4 years or so. It's relatively easy to make, and the combination of coconut milk, fresh ginger, leeks, cilantro, and edamame is heavenly. When I know that I want a hands down yummy dinner, I often turn to this one.

No question: Jack Bishop's Coconut Rice with Edamame and Leeks gets 5 stars. One of my favorite recipes.
