There’s a new Japanese noodle place opening soon near us. It’s called Boom, and it’s from the creators of [Blue C Sushi](http://www.bluecsushi.com/). I couldn’t possibly be more excited. Today Laurie and Iris announced that they were going to play Boom, and invited me to the soft opening. This was the menu, as created by Iris:
**Noodles with tomato sauce**
**Noodles with zucchini sauce**
**Noodles with pork and eggs**
**Scallion pancakes**
**Noodles with spicy pepper sauce dipped in tortilla chips (very sweet and spicy)**
**Drinks: Beer**
I asked about the noodles with zucchini sauce. “You take some zucchini and mash it into liquid zucchini,” said Iris. “Then you put it in a pitcher and pour it over the noodles.” Boom: recommended!
Ya know, very astute of Iris. Actually, when I have a bumper crop of zucchini (something quite common here in the home gardens in the North East) I steam it, pureed it and mount it with butter, add a little salt and pepper and it makes a fine sauce for all kinds of stuff. Including noodles. Iris has good taste…
