Time passes but there are still noodles

I could eat these everyday
I may not be so good with posting lately but people, I am still cooking and I am definitely still eating. So what's the deal? Well sometimes a girl just goes through phases. After 3 years writing this blog I guess you just have to go with the flow a little bit. What surprised me most was how often G kept nudging me with the constant question "Did you post today?". Until he finally just up and said "I miss your blog."
If that doesn't surprise a girl, I don't know what will.
So I figured it was time to get my butt in gear. Thankfully I had this picture I had taken of some peanuty noodles that I seem to make on a regular basis these days. I give all the credit to Heidi--this recipe is so easy to throw together and is now on constant rotation in our household. The beauty of it is that you can adapt it with whatever leftover vegetables you have in the fridge--and you can throw in some tofu or chicken or whatever strikes you. Of course, hers looks much prettier than mine but my tastebuds were quite content. And G lapped up a good 3 bowls full the first time that I made it for him. This is the man who instead of admitting that he is a picky eater declares himself a "supertaster". (insert eye roll here)
So listen. Without much fanfare the 3 year anniversary of my blog went by. Three years! In that time I have posted from apartments in 4 countries. I certainly don't feel like the same person I was when I started this blog and I keep thinking that I need this blog to catch up with me a little bit. It served it's purpose as a bit of a food/travelogue and a way to keep in touch with family and friends back home but now that I am back in Canada it needs to serve a new purpose in my life. Perhaps I've ignored it a bit these last few weeks because I'm still working out it's identity crisis.
But I think I've got it figured out now people.
And it won't be so long until the next post. I promise.
Until then, you've got some noodles to make.

Congratulations on the anniversary, m'dear! You've just reminded me that yesterday was mine; how time flies. Whatever you do in the future, I will surely be a fan. And as you know, I have my own personal (selfish) reasons to be specifically thankful for the existence of Oswego Tea! Cheers to the many years ahead.
Happy anniversary. I'll be interested to see what your new direction is.
Love those peanut noodles! I made them too (photos here). So easy and tasty.

I thought you had lost your noodle.
My god we have missed you! The separation anxiety was setting in. Welcome back and bon anniversaire!

Tara, and happy anniversary to you too. I can't even believe it's been 3 years, I think this is the first hobby I've had that has lasted this long ;)
Kitt, those noodles do seem to be a hit! I'm starting to lose count of how many times I have made them, they're just so easy to throw together.
David, well I think I have still lost my noodle a little bit, but that should just make things a bit more fun no?
Olivia, aw shucks, thanks ;)
Cindym, yep, it's bound to happen once in a while, but I think I'm getting my mojo back.
Alysia, thank you!
Brooke, and thank you to you too! I can't believe it either. I think it's the 4 countries thing that freaks me out the most.
Kat, my blog and I thank you!
Paz, don't encourage him with that supertaster thing ;) I swear he really is just picky!
i recently discovered your blog, and as an artist, i find your photographs especially beautiful! yes, please keep blogging and happy anniversary!
Happy blog-anniversary and welcome back! I missed your posts.
I agree, it's simply essential to stop something for a while to figure out what you are doing, why you are doing it, if you find joy in doing it, and where, in general, you are standing. Natural circle of development of any sorts, I think.
And as far as there are noodles in our bowls, we will be fine - won't we? :)
mmmm... those noodles look so good! I'm all up for using left over veggies as I hate when they go to waste! I will definitely try it.
