Noodles are always the answer. Or at least they’re the answer when you’re facing the extensional dread that comes with living through a pandemic. Noodles are a carb you can trust. Chewy, slurpable, and an easy vehicle for any sauce you can dream up. Shelf-stable and available in a variety of widths, noodles might just be the winning quarantine carb. But to be honest, if you forced me to choose between noodles and rice, there would be more than a pregnant pause. I’m not entirely sure which I would choose and I don’t want to choose so don’t ask me. Today is all about the noodles, though. Specifically these Sambal Peanut Tofu Noodles with Yu Choy.

Welcome to my new favorite comfort food – K-Mex Beef Quesadillas with Avocado Crema and Pickled Radish. These bad boys are the direct result of a takeout-oriented fever dream. I’ve never been particularly reliant on fast food, but as more and more restaurants shutter in these bizarre times, I find myself craving it more and more. But luckily, I am perfectly capable of fixing my own problem. And that, everyone, is why being a competent home cook is a little like being a magician. Anything you crave is well within your capable grasp.

I want to start today’s post off with an apology. I’m sorry for the recent lag in content. I generally plan a lot of recipes in advance, but the COVID-19 crisis made quick work of those plans. So, I’ve been rebuilding my content calendar from the ground up. And now, I have the added challenge of limiting the ingredients in my new recipes to what I have on hand. I am fully aware that you may not currently have or have access to the same things I do. So, I will be providing possible substitutions in each of my posts from here on out. With all that out of the way, allow me to introduce the first of my new (weird) normal recipes – Umami Bomb Spaghetti.

This post is about giving your nerves a break and nothing silences strung-out nerves like Banana Bread French Toast with Stewed Rhubarb.
