<\/a><\/p>\nOh Monday. \u00a0It did not start off well. \u00a0I was having tech issues that were finally resolved by rebooting my computer. \u00a0As much as I love Apple, I become more and more frustrated with their products all the time. Well let me clarify this a bit. \u00a0The computers work when they are brand new but get a couple of years in them and they start to falter and some stuff won’t even work on them any longer. \u00a0That’s the part the frustrates me. I’m definitely leaving my iPhone in the dust and will be switching over to an Android based phone. \u00a0I’m a Google girl through and through, and it only makes sense to have a Google based phone verses an iPhone where I have to install apps or run Google through Apple Apps just to access stuff. \u00a0Bah! Ok, I’m done rambling. I’m sure you don’t care about my tech bitching. \u00a0On to food!<\/p>\n
Yesterday was on the cooler side and I finally decided to make some soup. \u00a0I had been dreaming of an Asian inspired noodle soup with mini meatballs for days, so that’s what I made.<\/p>\n
Homemade chicken broth seasoned with a little garlic and soy sauce. \u00a0Rice noodles (passes the kitchen test for unprocessed month, only has two ingredients), wilted spinach, and some pork meatballs. \u00a0The meatballs had green onion, soy sauce, and Chinese 5 Spice added to it. \u00a0They were roasted in the oven at 400 for about 20 minutes and then added right to the soup.<\/p>\n
Delicious! \u00a0A late lunch\/early dinner meal. \u00a0Take that Monday!<\/p>\n
Later in the evening we had some slices of a chocolate bourbon cake (that I made, no box mixes here) drizzled with a chocolate bourbon sauce. I tried taking a picture but that much dark stuff on a plate in the evening does not photograph well. Trust me.<\/p>\n
Soup and cake? We totally kicked Monday’s butt!<\/p>\n
