In praise of ramen

It's the last night of the three-day weekend, and I'm settling in to enjoy Letterman with a steaming bowl of picante chicken ramen* (doctored up with several handfuls of spinach) and some crusty, multigrain bread. Some people think only college students eat ramen. But it has always been a favorite of mine, and it contradicts those who claim that I am a food snob. :)

I promise to present something a bit more exciting on the culinary front in the near future. The potatoes in the kitchen have been clamoring to be used before they are irreparably spoiled, so I'm thinking potato-leek soup is on the horizon. Also, I saw Julia and Jacques cooking French onion soup and a Mediterranean fish stew with rouille, and I'd like to attempt those, too.

  1. Funny. Last night I couldn't imagine cooking and threw veggies together with quinoa for a Quinoa Pilaf. I just posted the recipe on my blog. :)
