No pictures, just stories
I've been adventurous this week. ^^

1) I got talking to a coworker about Korean food, and the next day she brought me a bag of frozen dduk (rice dumplings). I made a stir fry with them, and I'll probably do the same tonight. If you like rice noodles you'll probably like these -- same flavour, but in bigger chewier mouthfuls. Here's what I've learned:

- They're probably not already cooked, so you can't just toss them into whatever you're cooking. I had success with thawing them in a pot of water for twenty minutes, then boiling the water and cooking them like noodles, and throwing them into the stir-fry. I suspect that like any other rice noodles, they'll disintegrate if cooked too long.

- Apparently they don't keep after they've been cooked, so you can't really do them up to have leftovers the next day. Only cook as many as you're going to eat in that meal.

2) I made the most awesome baked macaroni and cheese for work lunches this week. I used Danish blue cheese (the kind that looks almost green and tastes salty) and three-year-old Canadian cheddar. These were both left over from a bridal shower last weekend. I made a white sauce with those cheeses and some frozen chopped spinach, mixed it into pasta, and broiled it in the oven with crumbled cheddar and grated Romano on top.
