I posted about this on Facebook last week, but I wanted to expand on it because it was so delicious, especially for such an impromptu creation, and one that used up some leftovers.

Time has flown by and I’ve been dining all over the place, in addition to cooking at home (sometimes for upcoming print articles in the Packet). Here’s a photo gallery of some of the dishes I’ve enjoyed. My review of Ricky’s Thai will appear soon, and the duck noodles below were my sleeper hit. I … Continue reading
