Ok, folks. I've had the week to end all weeks. Lots of booze has made the situation palatable, but I'm not in the mood to talk. However, I am in the mood to rock your fucking socks off with a kickass recipe. It's a favorite of mine and I know you'll love it. Cause if you don't, I will cut your face.

Sesame Noodle Salad

1 lb soba noodles (linguine is an acceptable substitute)
3 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp peanut butter
1/4 c rice wine vinegar
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp rooster sauce
1 Tbsp grated ginger
4 - 6 cloves garlic
6 green onions, cut into rings (white and green parts)
1 red bell pepper, diced small
1/2 c chopped cilantro
1/4 c chopped mint (FRESH)
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
lime wedges

Cook the noodles according to their package direction, drain, and toss with about a tablespoon of the sesame oil. Allow to cool to room temperature.

In a blender, combine the rest of the sesame oil, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, rooster sauce, ginger, and garlic. Blend till it's smooth. If it's too thick for you, add a bit of water to thin it out. Taste it for seasoning, and add some salt and pepper.

Toss everything except for the last four ingredients together in a large bowl, until the noodles and veggies are well-coated in the sauce, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to merry.

Just before service, toss with the the cilantro and mint, and top with the sesame seeds. Serve with a wedge of lime. This is great as a side dish, or topped with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon, and served as an entree.

No new metal for y'all this week, folks. I've been rocking the new Shadows Fall and the new Dark Tranquillity and I will have reviews for you shortly. Until then, you'll get nothing AND LIKE IT.

Baby Huey's not kidding. He really will cut your face.
