Vermicelli Salad

Made with fresh picked herbs from my garden.

Peanut dressing:
Equal parts of fish sauce, rice vinegar,
soy sauce
Triple parts natural crunchy peanut butter
Small drizzle of sesame oil

Nuoc mam:
3 table spoons each: brown sugar, rice vinegar & fish sauce
2 minced garlic cloves
1 bird eye chili pepper

Rice noodles, boiled and drained with a wash of cold running water.
Julienne carrots/ cucumber
I didn't have any bean sprouts, those would've been lovely. I snipped some perilla, mint and houttuynia (my favorite herb).
Toss everything together. Top with chopped scallions and shrimp, chicken would be better. And sprinkle peanuts of you have any.

Reluctance

"Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?"

It's all about the quesadilla.
