Charla and Tara (name that reference!)'s friendship hails back to the days of yore, to nursery rhymes and toys, scrunched hair and entire cakes. Now living in two different cities, sharing our urban and semi-urban adventures. Basically, conversations about low-calorie snacks and boys, with random other things sprinkled in.

the revolution is upon us


This will rock your world. Seriously.

Shirataki Noodles. I bought mine from Whole Foods.

An enormous bag. Only 20 calories. Not per serving. For the WHOLE bag. Apparently they're made from taro root and tofu or something, but they taste like pasta, I swear. I bought the fettucini AND the noodle-shaped ones. The only bummer of them is that they smell AWFUL (don't let this turn you off entirely) so you have to rinse them very thoroughly first. Rinse, then boil for 2-3 minutes (these instructions are for the wet form). Drain, rinse again.

Freakin' amazing.

I've had them with tomato sauce, with a spritz of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter & some parmaggiano cheese, and in miso soup broth.
