Book Review - Send Noods: 50 Amazing Noodle Recipes That You Want Right Now

Rating: 💛 💛 💛 💛 💛

Noodles have never been so adventurous or fun! I’ve always enjoyed dishes that incorporated noodles of all kinds. But now, for sure, I’m in love with ‘Noods’.

I was thrilled to receive this complimentary copy of Send Noods by Chloe Godot from Amelia Beckerman, Associate Marketing Manager at St Martin’s Press. And it’s given me several hours of enjoyable reading, chuckling, and tasty recipes to try.

The simple broth and sauce recipes were a bonus. Exploring the different recipe sections gave me great inspiration for dinners to come, especially the Heart Warmers section.

I highly recommend the Nice Guy Shrimp Pad Thai and Won’t Clam Up Spaghetti and Clams recipes. Family pleasers for sure!

I’m gifting my copy of this book to my 13-year-old granddaughter who loves cooking and cookbooks. Maybe she’ll let me be her official taster.

Start a Love Affair With Street Food

On my bucket list is a world tour for the sole purpose of sampling as many kinds of street foods as possible. What is Street Food Street food is ready-to-eat food or drinks sold by a hawker, or vendor, in a street or other public place, such as at a market or fair. They often sell it from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck and is meant for immediate consumption. Wikipedia Street Food Heritage Throughout time, there has always been a vendor selling ready-made bread, cheeses, desserts, and other culinary delights.

Then, fast-food chains populated the streets and independent street food vendors became harder to find, especially where I live in the US. However, in other parts of the world, street food is common and easily found. What draws me and others to the street food experience? Adventure — who doesn’t l...

10 Faulty Assumptions Younger People Have About Older People

It Takes a ‘Supercomputer’ to Get This Snack Just Right

When is The Last Time You Ate a Hyperbolic Paraboloid Snack Your average, unsullied Pringle is a hyperbolic paraboloid; its equation is (x²)/(a²) — (y²)/(b²) = z/c. Here’s where things get interesting, though (as if hyperbolic paraboloids weren’t interesting enough). Proctor & Gamble doesn’t just shove a bunch of Pringles in a can and call it a day. Rather, they use supercomputers to keep conditions just right to make sure the chips make it from their factory to your house unmolested. ~ Source I hope you found that as interesting as I did. Life is just full of technology-enhanced bits of fun. Don’t you just wish you could get into the head of the person who dreamed this up? Their problem-solving skills are superior to mine. What problems you may ask? How to get a lot of chips into a small cylinder, is one. Since they stack tightly together, space is efficiently utilized. How to keep chips from breaking and crumbling in the package? Since they stack tight, one on top of the other i...
