First lunch-break food truck of spring is akin to the vultures returning to Capistrano. Yea birds!! They pull in on the other side of the offices which means an embarrassingly short drive or a really long walk so I usually opt to dine in and save some nickels but it was so springy and dumplingy out yesterday that I had to make the trek.
A happy face helped me with my lunch selections and we exchanged a small pile of cash for a page-o-matic, a few minutes later food calls and then I'm heading back to the lab with a sac-o'-goodies: Dan Dan Noodles plus Pork n Chive dumplings we're oh so good and lived up to the hype: pop the top and jam a fork under the noodles, stir it roundy round and let the flavors mingle while sharing some dumpley goodness. Yea chili sauce!! Soft but firm noodles are so good and so full-feeling; shredded meats, nuts, and green bits hanging out in hot sauce making the most of our time together.
...if I had a rice maker for at work this would be perfect.
