A favorite invention of mine consists of boiling
soba noodles in the usual way, cooling them down
in cold water, followed by ice water, coating
them with beaten avocado, and then sprinkling
them with soy sauce or Tabasco sauce or both
and eating them wrapped with roasted seaweed.
That's real tasty stuff. I haven't made that
in years. Too bad avocado isn't in season right
now, or I'd make up a batch.
