You know it's a slow winter morning in Seattle when I have to check my Weird and Wacky Holiday Calendar to find a bit of fresh news for the blog.
Yes, December 11 is National Noodle Ring Day. And what is a noodle ring? Basically it's a bundt cake of noodles glued together with eggs and served with a pool of mushroom sauce in the middle. A bland but inoffensive old Midwestern pot luck dish, and the staple of mid-century cookbooks. A recipe your mom would make if she was feeling especially creative. Of course it must be carefully plated to avoid catastrophic noodle failure. The noodle ring is all about dramatic presentation.
Just in case John is worried reading about this at work, no noodle ring with mushroom soup sauce served here tonight-- just shrimp curry. Although I could always dump curry in the middle of a noodle ring for a multi-cultural exotic treat!
