On those days, I even break rules and take out the shiny Asus Zenpad 7. He loves it. We downloaded a few toddler apps that he enjoys playing. And the audio cover even makes it more fun specially since the little fella loves to dance on peppy music. When I received the Asus Zenpad 7, I was super thrilled to see how lightweight it is. Perfect to carry it around in my already loaded diaper bag.
Every once in a while, there are some days, happy days, when he allows me to cook and photograph peacefully. He even let’s me work on my laptop without trying to sit on my lap and pretend like he has some serious article to finish. I put him in his high chair with some snacks and few unbreakable props. Thankfully, he still enjoys his high chair. Of course, after a while, he has to come down and offer help, style the food, hold the pan or just play with the noodles.
It’s been a while since we had soba noodles. It’s not quite easily available out here and I have been missing it. Beside the fact that it gets cooked instantly and it tastes good either hot or cold, I absolutely love the nutty flavor and the gorgeous color.
When it comes to noodles, I don’t like to go too heavy on the sauce. One of our favorite sauces would be the chimichurri sauce and the second one might be this spinach and minced chicken stir-fried sauce. I flavored it with Asian sauces and it was ready in no time. Tossed together with nutty soba noodles, it made a lovely fuss-free weekend meal.
