The pluots are only available in the summer so this is about the end of them. I'll have to rely on apples pretty soon for fruit :)<br />You're right megan; they are banh mi-esque. Love the shredded veggies. I'm with you on the sour noodles.

Anyway, it is very pretty and we'll see what my boy says. We don't have yellow somen, but we have carrot flat noodles. Haven't tried that one yet.
