In my quest to be more domestic (funny how that makes me sounds like a farm animal), I intend to cook at least one dish every week. I started yesterday, when I used my parents’ 22th wedding anniversary as an excuse to cook lunch.
I found this recipe for “Cold Nutty Asian Noodles” on Yummy Magazine’s April issue (p. 41) A warning, though, that magazine will let your diet fall by the wayside. The photography and food styling will make you crave for everything you see. Everything is so eye-candy; Summit Media always has the best magazine layouts.
Anyway, in the picture it looked a lot like Pad Thai, except that it had no meat and the noodles weren’t stir-fried. Actually, the only cooking required by the recipe is cooking the linguine; the dressing and raw vegetables were tossed in with the noodles later.
My mom told me to saute the vegetables anyway, as well as some tofu and shrimp. When everything was done, something didn’t quite taste right, so I added brown sugar.
Then end result:
It makes a pretty picture, I think. Click to enlarge.

You should cook more often.
