I haven't done one of these in a while, so here goes.
It always amazes me that the Missus can eat the same dish over and over again for weeks on end. For Christmas; along with cooking for Her potlucks the Missus wanted my oxtail soup. So I obliged Her. She requested that I add some daikon this time around. Man, She ate it for 5 meals in three days! As much as I love oxtail soup my enthusiasm was really waning at the tail end. So I bought some Sun Noodles and made this for me.
And had for two of those meals.
Heat the bowl......add the greens....
In go the noodles......
Top with da' good stuffs.....
It seems the Missus just didn't get enough beans when, by request I made kind of Cassoulet. The weekend after New Year, She wanted Red Beans and Rice. I've adjusted my recipe a tad, perhaps one day I'll update....anyway, this was good for another 5 meals.
Currently, the Missus is a bit obsessed with a sauce I through together after grilling some lamb. Duck Fat, Avocado Oil, Harissa, Cumin, Cayenne, Ghost Pepper Salt, Salt, Pepper, Black Vinegar and most importantly Sichuan Peppercorn. It's that suan-tian-ku-la-Xian with a nice dose of "ma". So we've been eating a lot of lamb; in the form of merguez patties and lamb meatballs....that sort of thing.
That sauce goes great with lamb and I went through an entire tube of harissa having to make this four times.......
One of these days I'll post recipes for Balsamic Brussel Sprouts that I sometimes make four times a week for the Missus's lunches that I often alternate with Kelaguen and Finedene......
gosh! a couple meals would be max for me. still, sounds like you guys are eating well:)

Talk about high end bowl of ramen/pho?
Certain food I can eat for weeks especially the one that I reminisce about as a kid.

Hi Kat - Yes, about two meals for me.....
Hi Hao - We used to get French Harissa at various Gourmet stores, but have now started ordering it from Amazon:

Good stuff; not mostly tomato sauce.
Hi Billy - Man....weeks? I can barely get past 2-3 meals

Oh man, we just polished off our oxtails, but after seeing the noodles, I'll have to make it again just to try that. Where do you get those? Are they fresh?
That sauce sounds like a business waiting to happen (Fred Flintstone style). :)

Hi Jan - It's Sun Noodles - ramen. You can get it at Nijiya and Mitsuwa. I discard the broth thing. They manufactor noodles for a lot of Ramen Shops and have their own product in stores;
