Today I was trying to think of a recipe that was easy with minimal cooking. Cold sesame noodles are nice and hearty, and you only need to actually cook the noodles. You can even use leftover spaghetti noodles, and then you don’t need to cook anything!
Today was ugly. It was cold, and windy, and dark, and rainy. And a work day. What could combat the damp cold leeching into my soul? Without a doubt, Potato Soup.
