If you are sick of winter

I am done with winter. I try not to go outside anymore just to avoid knowing it is still cold (and in Maine dark and cloudy). This salad/pasta dish/something reminds me there is hope. Ive been eating for the last 3 days straight.

Noodle Veggie Salad (for lack of a better name)

Great tutorial, but almost all the other recipes are meat...

{cut up a lot of vegetables, including cabbage.}
{make some linguine noodles}
{stir up a blend of olive oil, seasame oil, squeezed lime juice, ginger, garlic, tamari or soy sauce, brown sugar, hot peppers, and cilantro}
{Combine}

Wynn, you ask, why such sparse directions!?!?? Well, because I believe in you. Some people love red/green/yellow peppers and others do not. Some may love veggies more than life itself while others could literally eat noodles for eternity. Some people have a bunch of leftover veggies, no energy to make 12 different dishes, and 20 min before their family starts to get hypoglycemic. SO use what you have or what you like.

I used this stuff. plus some spinach.

I added this stuff without paying too much attention to the amounts listed in recipe. You cant go wrong with a versatile dressing like this. lime+ ginger+garlic+tamari+sesame oil=perfect flavors

I came up with this. Failed at my attempt to garnish (really though, garnishing!?...im just hungry)

*Small technique notice: One of james' classmates is Chinese and KNOWS ginger. She told me her mom would never peel it and now she doesnt either, just a quick wash and cut. I've been doing it too now and haven't notice a bit of difference. Why not?
