Soba Noodles in Shiitake Broth

Complacency can be boring, but yet it’s comfortable. It’s what we know. It’s what we are used to. Occasionally breaking the routine can be a good thing. When I got home after a long day of work I found myself reaching for the same old ingredients. I stopped and decided to get creative instead. I needed some change. I must admit, I have been feeling a bit off lately. Maybe I’m just tired, maybe i’m complacent.
My husband will be the first one to tell you I don’t like routine. Let me rephrase that. I don’t like routine all the time. I crave different. I crave adventure. Although I feel comfortable with routine, its the change that keeps me excited. I believe the change translates into my cooking style. Often people will ask me what type of food do I cook. The answer is always “all kinds”. I don’t stick to one cuisine, I experiment with various flavors. I guess you can call it international fusion. Yes! I like that.
