It has been awhile since I have blogged about a meal at Chez US. This does not mean, I have given up the position at the stove, it just means my MOJO has been somewhere else. On top of traveling for pure pleasure the past couple of weeks, I just have not been snapping with the camera.  It is coming back, I can feel it, so watch out!

I love the GYO events over over Andrea’s Recipes and just felt the need not to miss this one. So, tonight I went to the garden and plucked up some baby Thai Basil leaves and let the creative juices flow. I was in the mood for something spicy, maybe because I am feeling kind of spicy after a couple fun filled but relaxing days up in Lake Tahoe with E & W and the MEM. I took some mushrooms and cooked them with eggplant and a little sesame oil, garlic and chillies. Then I made a broth out of coconut milk, more chillies, fresh Thai Basil from our garden, Kaffir Lime leaves and garlic. Tossed it all into a bowl with Lomen noodles, I would have used Soba, but we are out. Garnished with lots of sliced chillies and some Lime zest. Fresh! Spicy! Creamy! All in 30 minutes!

Wrap your lips around these!
