Midwestern Summer Meal = Cold Noodles.

A Midwestern summer day like today calls for something like this:  Cold somen noodles on a bed of sauteed turnip and radish greens from our garden, topped with toasted sesame, nori, and shiso leaves.  Cold dipping shiitake + kombu broth.  Freshly grated ginger on the side, of course, to give it a zing.  Yum!

Rumor has it that it is going to be in the high 90s today...
