Cold Soba Buckwheat Noodles
from Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat
The epitome of Japanese eating--you chop up a little of this and that, present it on tiny plates and bowls, and give each diner one-half cup of a dipping sauce and a big bowl of noodles. Each diner doctors up their sauce and then use chopsticks to dip the noodles delicately in the yummy sauce. Then they slurp 'em down.
My version was altered for a bag lunch--the this and that were all piled in a flat bowl and the sauce and noodles packed separately.
I liked it, but I'd like it a whole lot better on a scorching day in mid-July. Today it was near freezing and I was craving a big plate of steaming hot noodle soup!

Yummy! They taste just like Cheese Nips!
Which is amazing. Imagine a home-baked snack made of water, butter, flour, mustard powder, eggs and Gruyere Cheese (very expensive Gruyere Cheese!) could come out of the oven....
Tasting like a supermarket snack aisle product. It's sad beyond imagining. In order to retain my sanity, I have to pretend that they're missing that nasty little artificial aftertaste of the commercial product. Plus...they're pretty and puffy.
