Soup on Sunday: Michael Devine’s Sorrel and Zucchini Soup | All the Best Blog. I love the dark green perennial herb sorrel with its slightly sour flavor. My friend Michael Devine recently shared his recipe for Sorrel and Zucchini soup that he learned when taking the Bistro and Brasserie course at the École Ritz Escoffier. He serves it both hot and cold with an almond chive cookie on the side. A word of caution about sorrel—its lemony flavor is great, but it changes to a drab color when cooked.

For a more vibrant soup, try mixing spinach and sorrel.

Mmm-yoso!!!: Road Trip: Tasty Noodle House - San Gabriel (Los Angeles) I'm not quite sure who recommended Tasty Noodle to me, I just can't find the email (was it you AndyS?).

All I had was a little scribble in my notebook that says" Tasty Noodle - Dalian" and some other stuff...so it probably means that the owners are from Dalian, a city in Liaoning province, just North of Shandong where the Missus is from. The shop is tiny, tucked away in the same strip mall as several other restaurants including Golden Deli. Located in one of the corners you really can't see the place from the street. Man was this place super clean....and super tiny, five-six tables in all. The young lady serving me was very friendly and polite as well...... The menu says "New style Chinese" which kinda raised alarms..........but I moved forward. The bowl was just humongous, filled to the brim with a thick soup. I would have usually just had some noodle soup and headed out since I was eating solo on this trip.

With a fluffy springiness...man, this was going to be good.
