Tonight we had huge noodle bowls for dinner, relying on fresh produce and poultry from our back yard or Conway Locally Grown. These noodle bowls are packed with veggies, spice, and cooling coconut milk (which, alas, is not local at all). Unfortunately, after I planned the dish, I discovered that my neglected fresh ginger was [...]
