You mean konnyaku/konjac ? They have an enjoyable textural place in my world.

I had to look at the ingredients and Konjac power is one.

We use them in stir fries not sure about having them with a tomato based sauce

Right so not go tomato/Italian as your sensory expectation will be jarred. But in Asian type preps where slippery texture is enjoyed they are nice.

I agree! With soups, I find if I boil the noodles instead of just warming them in the broth, they have a better mouthfeel

A quick trip to Winnipeg Chinese supermarket gave me more practice in my Love-Hate relationship with fresh rice noodles (Ho fun).
Tonight, it was with beef, gai lan and oyster sauce.

I had picked up quite a lot of BBQ meats from my favourite BBQ shop in Chinatown. The owner knows me well now, and always gives me a big bag of Siu Yook (Crispy Pork) bones.
Supper after we got home was Congee with the bones, Century egg and fuyu.

Creamy polenta topped with roasted mushrooms and garlicky kale, plus a poached egg and a green olive pesto.  Another dinner based on a Half Baked Harvest recipe, though I roasted my mushrooms for extra flavor.

On the konnyaku based noodles - I simmer them first in some water and a few glugs of soy sauce.  The fresh rice noodles I usually can get  are oiled, and rolled end over end - versus coiled - but sometimes break and frustrate me as I try to unroll them.

From Setubal, just south of lovely Lisbon. Love Portugal! Would go there every year if I could!

Pasta with cuttlefish ink

1 of these 2 big cuttlefish had the ink sac intact, which I saved for the pasta.

All gone now. My new favourite squash is lakota. Orange with splashes of green. Orange flesh, dense and very sweet.

Beef and bacon (processed in the food processor to a paste, sauteed for a few minutes) burger topped with gorgonzola and caramelized onions

That is a thing of beauty. I love a burger with caramelized onions and blue cheese or Gorgonzola. Never thought about grinding up the bacon and adding it to the burger; making a note of that!

Don't ask. Eat it.

Dinner tonight from the last of Friday’s lunch leftovers (Street Taco filling, grilled vegetables and refried beans) with a couple of warmed flour tortillas and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

I like the way that you do it all on one pan and I like those flour tortillas.
