Decor & Delights

Good morning (or afternoon, or evening) to everyone. Today's post involves two subjects. First, I am excited because I bought the print below for our garishly fabulous 1960's gold & white bathroom. Yay! It's been my get-ready station lately and I decided to capitalize on the glitz in there and make it a very fun place to primp. Hopefully Audrey here will inspire me on cute-ifying the rest of the loo.
Now on to the goods: food! I made Sesame Kale Soba from Jae Steele's Get It Ripe, and it was delicious! She gives suggestions on alterations to the recipe, so I just let loose and threw in a little of this and that. I topped it with some gomashio and a little extra soy sauce once it was done. It was very tasty! I'd recommend it as a side or a light meal. Some extra stir-fried veggies added would round it out well as a main dish.

I made a yummy salad to go with it. Just a normal bunch of greens and chopped vegetables, topped with sesame orange dressing, sunflower seeds, and a pinch of ground flax seeds. Yummmy!

thank you, thank you, thank you! I have the ingredients for this right now and was trying to decide what to do with them - hadn't thought about kale and soba! A little bit of kale goes a long way for me, so when we buy a bunch I have to use it in at least three meals. Last night we had it in fettuccine and tonight we're going to have it in a frittata. Guess tomorrow we're going Japanese with our greens! yay!

Thanks for the comment, Anjanette. The dish has such a nice rich taste, but is light at the same time. Hope you enjoy it! I added a little pinch of wasabi powder and a little diced fresh ginger to mine.
