Salivating



4 ft long artisanal bucatini noodles make for dramatic presentation. What I didn't expect was the effort to swallow a mouthful of these noodles. The task requires the skills of those talented performers over in the San Fernando Valley. This is why I can't ever be in the movies.



Assembling the flavor profile for Szechwan beef noodle soup. I realized the foolishness of trying to cook a long braise dish at 11:30pm.



Thankfully, the crock pot comes to the rescue, and I slumbered to the wafting scents of anise and szechwan peppercorns.
