The first recipe I cooked on my two week challenge was Ramen (not your cup of noddle type) with Beef, Shiitakes and Spinach. Evan is home for the weekend (doing a mountain of laundry) so she helped review the meal. Overall it was good but there are some pre-packaged Japanese ramen mixes that are just as good. I guess if you don't live in an area with a large Asian population it would be hard to find so this recipe would be the next closest thing. Sorry I can't give you the name of the store mix, it's in Japanese and I only know it by the packaging. I would have added more Shiitakes mushrooms and baby bok choy instead of the spinach. It's not a recipe I would try again.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
