Yes - Soba Noodles are traditionally 100% buckwheat and reportedly better than traditional spaghetti type noodles based on wheat.

➡️ … it’s worth noting that the protein quality of buckwheat used to make soba noodles is higher than for wheat, meaning that your body can use buckwheat protein more effectively.
➡️ Buckwheat is especially known for its high levels of the amino acid lysine, which other plant protein sources, such as wheat, corn and nuts, are relatively low in. That makes buckwheat especially good to include in diets that exclude animal foods.

A Non-Kayaking/Non woodworking/Non Weather Update….

Readers Digest Edition: After dealing with chronic and worsening pain in my right hip over the past 10 years, I went for total hip replacement surgery this morning.!

Surgery started at 0715, completed by 0915 and I was walking, doing steps, etc by noon. And discharged shortly there after.
✅ Out patient hip replacement surgery.

We’re in a hotel close by the hospital to reduce time traveling in the car. Tomorrow, we’ll pack our bags & zip home to Maryland.

?? For the Doc & Medical Staff. ??? For wifey who is making chicken soup & soba noodles for our dinner.

Next update - the finished bowl of course! ?
Wow Mark, you kept that quiet, you really must have been suffering in silence!!!
I'm so pleased everything went OK with the surgery and I'm sending you all good wishes for a speedy recovery. Enjoy the soup!!

Good morning all - bright but windy weather here today.
I'm thinking of getting a wind turbine installed on top of my washing line post, that would keep the bills down ;)
I hope you're all having a good Wednesday.

Tom must be right about us all. We have this love for an animal that only likes us because we come bearing gifts yet they give us something that no other animal can. I've yet to put my finger on why. ?
It's extremely easy to define...it's all because you are The Food Goddess...

Thanks for the good wishes. Yes, my hip has hurt more and more over the years. A few years back, I went to a Doctor, took xrays & he showed us the “bone on bone” I had going. No shock absorbing cartilage present. I should have had it done back then I guess. Finally this September, went to another Dr. Yep, bad as expected. So, we scheduled the surgery for December giving me time to get through the rest of Summer, end of kayaking season, & lose some weight.

(@Maro2Bear I hope the surgery went well, and I'm glad that you feel good, my grandmother replaced both knees, her family has horrible knees, and it took a loooong time for her to get on her feet, so I'm glad that you're already moving, hopefuly the remaining pain will leave quickly!)

Thanks… cute tort pix too. Really no pain - the chronic sore hip pain is all gone. Now, thigh is tight, and some ache on my hip area. But no pain really. ?

I used to make homemade pancakes with buckwheat flour and they were really good. I'm looking for the noodles in my area because many days I can't stand the thought of eating meat and don't eat much of it on the days I do. I don't really eat a lot of wheat if I can help it and I'm allergic to corn. I saw some recipes online that would be fun and different to try. One specifically with tofu. I'll make my son help me cook it.? he likes tofu.
