I’m in the Mood for Munchies

It’s clean up day after this past weekend’s record breaking Snowpocalyps.  Being cooped up for a couple of days is nice, but right about now cabin fever is kicking in.
Big Time!
I haven’t got as bored *or as  crazy* as this girl

… oh the naiveté of youth…*side-eye*…

No.  Snowpocalyps has not put me in the mood to strip down to my skivvies, but it has brought on a decent size car of the munchies.  If you’re like me, you have you favorite ‘go to’ munchies that always hit the spot- popcorn,  chips with dip,  s’mores, some type of fruit bowl,  anything with loads of cheese. ….you know what I mean.  Today’s munch craving is a little different.  I’m wanting something that is not sooo ‘snack like’.

So I turned to one My Pinterest Board: Hello.IAmPhat Luvs {Food Glorious Food}

…. and came up with this goodness!

Fries with Lemon Salt & Rosemary

This deliciously savory side dish is from the sinfully tasteful blog – Alexandra Cooks.

This is her first recipe using lemon salt. I’d say it’s a home run!!!!

Happy 105th Birthday Momofuku Andos

Good Morning Luv-Lies,

Quick post this early morning.

Google’s done a great 105th tribute to the founder of Ramen Noodles, Momofuku  Andos.

If you, like me, spent your college years:

“Peel[ing] off the lid.

Pour[ing] boiling water into the cup.

Let[ting  it] sit for three minutes.

Stir[ring] well and serve.”

Get yourself right over to Google and help yourself to this celebration!

Momofu What?

Hello Luv-lies,

So I keep coming across  this word – Momofuku.  Off Hand, there’s not much that I know about this word.  As a matter of fact, whenever I come across it, I  know that it has something to do with food because it’s almost always on one of the upscale, swanky foodie sites where I hang out.  So I did some digging around to find out what this poetically naughty word could possibly mean.   I found that the word, in Japanese means, ‘Lucky Peach’.

But according to the Chef-founder of this whole Momofuku thing, the word  is “an indirect nod” to Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese-Japanese inventor of instant ramen.

Lucky Peach.  Ramen Noodle.  One thing that I’ve learned for sure about  Momofuku, is that it has become the most influential restaurant brand here in the States!

My BFFs over at Bon Appetit  did a nice job of chronicling the inception and growth of what is said to be one of America’s most important restaurants

Here’s a look-see

Another fact about this interesting word – Momofuku.  The Chef-Founder,  also suggested it’s not an accident he chose a word that sounds like the English curse word motherf*****.  (Hey! We’re all grown here! )

Thoughts?

Do Tell….
