Potato and Corn Chowder

Shit. I have been busy as fuck lately. I have only been to one yoga class all week. WHO AM I? Sigh. I consistently find myself overextended.

Asian Noodle Stir Fry

So this recipe was originally labeled as "ramen," but I thought that was doing a disservice to ramen everywhere. I couldn't call it that... that's not what it is. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's fucking delicious. But it is not, by any means, ramen. Ramen is that beautifully and painstakingly crafted soup with… Continue reading Asian Noodle Stir Fry
