Today I learned about naeng myun, a Korean cold soup made of a slightly sour broth with buckwheat noodles. According to a friend you are supposed to eat this on your birthday or after you give birth. It was neither occasion but we enjoyed it all the same.

It will not make my list of favorite foods but was certainly unique and worth a try. The rest of our fabulous feast and great company made up for any cold-buckwheat strangeness.

I am slowly learning that I am perhaps not the completely hopeless hermit that I previously thought.
