el dia de la madre

there seems to me something mildly isolating, depressing? maybe just confusing about mother's day when you're from a family that doesn't believe so much in its observance. it's lonely because everyone else is off celebrating their mothers and mine isn't home to receive my phone call. anyhow.

i'm going to make one of mom's and grandma's favorite recipes for brunch today and wait for mercury to come out of retrograde in the next couple days. i kid. kind of.

somen salad

somen noodles with some iceberg lettuce (i might use kale today) chopped into it with a delicious sauce. the salad is served cold and can be garnished with some green onions though raw green onions sometimes leave a funny taste in my mouth.

Somen Salad Sauce

1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
2 T shoyu
1t ginger juice
2t sesame oil

evidently it's such an easy meal it doesn't warrant complete sentences.

don't tell my mother that i told you that she uses angel hair pasta because it's cheaper, i like somen kind noodles.
