Anyways, I managed to throw together a nice little dinner in no time. All the recipes are Robin's, of course. I made ginger/soy/sake marinated flank steak with a cold soba noodle salad and some broccoli. We had a nice Syrah with dinner. Then for desert I made a blueberry and white nectarine crisp with whip cream. We had that with a bottle of champagne Robin had got as a present for Libby a while ago. It was really good champagne! Good work mom.
Libby and Randy especially like the Soba noodle dish. So here's the recipe for that one:
Cook 12 oz of buckwheat soba noodles (boil for about five minutes). Cool by running under cold water. Whisk together 1/3 C rice vinegar, 1 T soy sauce, 1.5 T sugar, 1 t salt and 2 T canola oil. Toast 2.5 T sesame seeds. Chop up six scallions and 1/2 C of mint. Toss the soba noodles in the vinaigrette, sesame seeds, scallions and mint. Serve! Its easy and delicious.
Libby and Randy will be greatly missed here in Berkeley. But I am consoled by the fact that they will be lighting up a town somewhere else, and other people will get to know and love them.

Well, I don't think I'm due the kind credit for the meal - - Jody has made some cool modifications to the flank steak marinade, and the soba noodle recipe is straight off the back of the package, but it sounds like a really wonderful time for the 4 of you, and I'm glad the food worked out. I hope you all get to see each other from time to time in one city or another - - who knows where? The window boxes on the deck where you saw the chocolate and regular mint are a little garden that I don't think the deer will ever invade.
