But I think our marioluigilove is carrying over in the kitchen cause wea makina somea pizza. Foreal this is easy when you buy the dough from whole foods or your local pizzaria. It’s like, forty cents and you gain a whole freaking day of not watching dough rise. Modernity at its best.
So we thought we would get some kitchen stadium action over in BK. Although there was no secret ingredient, we were going to have a winner. And if cooking was anything like driving a remote control video game, I was clearly going to win.
The Breakdown

And yes, he and I were both doing the cooking, the judging AND the eating. Guess who won. Just goes to blow ya, a woman’s place is in the kitchen.
Buckwheat Bonanza June 25, 2009
Posted by J in : Main Courses , 1 comment so farSoba Noodles are my schmack foreal. I have always been a noodle nut but thought I would leave those brown healthy buckwheat noodles to the same freaks that are trying to eat fat free cheese and grilled tofu breasts. Little did I know I had no idea what I was talking about. Doesn’t sound like me, does it.
So, during my failed vagitarian trial, I thought I would go full hog and eat some cardboard noodles. But alas, no cardboard up in here. AND simple as shit to enjoy.
You know what else makes me jealous about Japan? They sell these noodles on the street and in train stations. What a goddamn upgrade from NYC’s dirty water dog and pretzel bricks.
Soba Noodles
Dried noodles for 2
Soy sauce to taste (go quality here, Japanese style or even tamari sauce instead)
Some sesame oil
A dab of chili oil
Sirachi to taste
Boil the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Add to your eatin bowls and throw on your oils and sauces. Eat with chopsticks cause you feel much more cultured that way.
What else yall think I should eat with this?
