Noodles and New Beginnings

10 years. My husband was at his law firm for 10 years. And what did they do for him yesterday on his last day? Nothing. Not. A. Thing. But I did. 🎊

I made handcut egg noodles (learned in @oliahercules amazing zoom cooking class a few weeks back), roasted and ground Sichuan peppercorn, crispy chili oil, and put them all together with some @swaledalebutchers pork and fermented cabbage (also from an Olia cooking class) to made insanely good dan dan mian from a @fuchsiadunlop recipe.

We feasted. We celebrated. We put the little guy to bed. We drank a bottle of @champagne_bollinger and then one of @pol_roger and stayed up until 2am watching “The Flight Attendant.” And we woke today to a bright new future and a very well-earned hangover. 🍾 🤕 🥡

[PS: aren’t my bowls lovely? They’re from a local ceramicist @purplepots.co.uk 🏺]
