Cravings.......

It seems that whenever the weather is cold and overcast or rainy, I want Chinese food. I don't know why, but I usually do.

This evening was no exception. As I was driving home from Cincinnati this afternoon, I was wanting a nice hot bowl of wonton soup. I stopped at my favorite local Chinese restaurant, Hunan Wok. I ordered the General Tso's chicken combo (which adds fried rice and an eggroll). I forgot to order the soup. But I didn't need it after all. I was pleasantly full at the end of the meal.

Fall is also a time when I'm wanting nabeyaki udon, a Japanese noodle soup. The different type of mushrooms that are added give the soup a nice earthy texture and taste.

Does anyone else out there crave certain foods for different kinds of weather?
