I can barely go a day without having noodles. Can you?

Make mine noodle
I am full of noodles as I write this post. I had somen noodles for breakfast. I whooped it up with sesame oil, sesame leaf and kombu broth. And yesterday I had fettucini with artichokes and pine nuts at Quartino, a sweet little spot on Bleecker Street.

And more noodle
And the evening before we had a spot on spaghetti with meat sauce at home.

Even more…
But I am an equal opportunity eater of noodles as I will consume instant noodles with just as much verve and pleasure. Treasure.

Dried kimchi flakes
I got this instant ramen bowl at a local bodega and was beguiled by the promise of kimchi. Well, it’s really kimchi “flakes” for what it’s worth. But I slurped that shit up like there was no tomorrow.
My DNA is noodle.
