peanut + noodles

i've been lately craving noodles with a peanut sauce. i wanted to try this new thai restaurant by our house the other night, but instead we ended up eating mexican, which we do like 2-3 times a week. good thing it's plentiful around here.

i was craving pad thai. i love pad thai. i don't eat it often because usually when i do, i top the scale at 2 lbs more the next day, or so it seems...

anywho, i spotted this over on smitten kitchen.

peanut sesame noodles. now this is one peanut sauce i can make. easy peasy... i already have most ingredients here in the house. how good does that look. click here for the recipe.

hmmm... and did i mention i have a peanut allergy? no. probably because i don't take it very seriously. i have never had any obvious reaction to peanuts, although i do eat a lot less of them (mostly in the form of peanut butter) since i had a blood test done a few years ago, and it showed an allergy to egg whites, garlic, and peanuts. it won't stop me from making this.
