this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

Just Like a Heatwave, It's Tearing Me Apart
Another night of mind numbing temps and simultaneous brain fry. A haboob if you will of heat enveloped me as I walked into my apartment. The cats of course wait until I walk in to drop their stink bombs in the poop box. Their gift to say, welcome home. I can't. I can't cook, it's too painful. Yet I'm so hungry. Okay, okay, I will make something but it has to be super easy. I begrudgingly stretch back on my sweaty clothes and head over to the $10 store. They will have exactly what I need to go brilliantly with this turkey sausage, the only meat in the house.
Okay, so I settle on a refrigerated soba noodle pack for a quick soup that I can drop tiny meatballs into with a container of pre-washed and cut green beans and mushrooms. Excellent choice! However when I get to the soup flavor packet part I find a ginormous amount of sodium packed into this teenie little pouch. Like 2600mgs! Yikes. The Japanese are so healthy looking. How can it even be true?? So instead of the pre-packed instant flavors I opted for a low sodium vegetable bouillon cube which by the way, still has a shit storm of salt, like 870mgs. Best to use the cans if you have to go for a quickie and can't make homemade stock.
