Well, I have PMS today so that definitely makes me a needy person. And it really makes Husband a needy person, putting up with my mood swings and what not. You know the ones I mean. Men out there, as bad as it is for you it's worse for the woman, trust me. Sometimes you say something all mean and snappish and you immediately think in your head "Oh that was mean. That's the PMS talking - not me." But you don't apologize because the PMS is in you like a beast and if you keep talking you're only poking more at the beast and God knows what will come out of you mouth next. You'll mean to apologize but end up telling your Husband he's got terrible taste and why can't he do things faster or more correctly? So silence is best I find. And yes I do encourage people to steer clear of me when I'm moody. Sometimes I don't even want to be around myself.
So given this is my state of mind today, Husband and I surely qualify as needy. The one good thing is that Spike is having a Star Wars marathon today so that is soothing to me. I made Husband and I this to slurp on while we watch the original Star Wars. It took me only about 10 minutes to make, so I had little time to get frustrated. I found out while I was making this that I didn't have enough sugar snap peas but honestly I found my portion to be quite enough. I used about half the amount. Also, shockingly my Metro didn't have shitake mushrooms. I thought about getting oyster mushrooms instead but then I chinced out and just used the regular old button mushrooms I had in the fridge at home. Were I to make this again, I would use the oyster mushrooms if I couldn't find shitake. Not that the buttons weren't good they just didn't add to the Asian feel of the soup. I would compare this soup to a Japanese Udon Soup (given the udon noodle that's a little stating the obvious). I love udon soup so this really hit the spot for me. Husband enjoyed this as much as I did. The title certainly fits the dish. If you're feeling needy a bowl of this may just well be your cure.
