    Duck Soba with seasoned spinach and crispy scallions.

    The recipe was for Soba, but when I went through my noodle drawer, I realised I was out and it was too late to go the Asian shop. I substituted with Udon.

    Yeah, it's Dashi broth with soy and mirin.

    That was the top of the pasta box.  Dried.
    Here is the bottom



    The risotto was easy.  The ingredients came in a jar.  Boil some water, add the ingredients, and lower heat.  From there it is on how you like it, how much butter or Parm (or whatever else) you add.
    Really good.
    Stuff was ordered from an online place - I was ordering some fish eggs and saw these.  Couldn't resist

    I might put a bit more butter in, next time.

    Speaking of, can we talk Butter.
    Preferences?

    Looked on our fridge this AM.  
    We did order some extra in prep for Thanksgiving, since when ordering grocery delivery it is common for them to substitute or omit based on what is available at that time and we wanted to be covered.

    Always have some of this, which our hearts thank us for.


    Then we need and want the real deal for some things.

    One of these is miles above the others (one of the best I've ever found, in a grocery store) but they are all at least decent.



    The Plugra is fantastic.
    Slap your mother good.
    For sure an attempted recreation of a fatter, European, butter.  


    What are your favorite butter types?

    I've not made butter, although I grew up around farms where many did so I'm fortunate to know the glories of homemade butter.


    Also - I keep mine in the fridge

    Know some who keep in the cabinet.

    Thoughts?

    Have y'all tried Plugra?  Side by side with Kerrygold they taste very differently, to me.
