It’s been one of those weeks where I tried to get everything done. Except for grocery shopping. That didn’t get done. The only vegetable in the fridge was a cucumber and the only fruit was a lime. I found one lonely package of udon in the cupboard, some frozen shrimp in the freezer and luckily no matter how far behind I am on grocery shopping I will never ever run out of condiments.
An onion from the garden fried with shrimp. Udon warmed in the pan and everything tossed in a sauce of toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, chilli paste, peanut butter, minced garlic and chicken bouillon. Garnished with chives from the garden, and the lonely fruit and vegetable from the crisper. Green chopsticks to add one more green to the plate.

My mama came to help us with moving in part two. We’ve been here a month and things are finding their places. Or getting tossed. Be functional… or so awesome you can justify your space in my cozy little nest… or get the hell out of my house. The clunky old table 300 pound table is gone. Mama got us a brand new, astonishingly white, shiny, and bright kitchen table. We’ll see how long that lasts, and until then it will be the backdrop to my lunchtime ramblings. Mama also left some homemade potato and leek soup.
If my mom didn’t leave any soup in your fridge, see if there’s a can, or jar, or pot of soup anywhere nearby. Add some garlic croutons, finely chopped chives, and fresh ground black pepper. They pretty much go with everything. Sit down at a new table and enjoy the view. And of course the soup.
