You guys are so lucky huh.
I discovered that the thing with instant noodles is that you can throw whatever is in your fridge and it will still taste damn good. I am hooked on a certain brand of instant noodles here and it kicks the ass of some normal noodle restaurants in Vancouver. I forgot what flavour it is but probably somewhere along the lines of Kyushi shio ramen or something. Ever since Eri moved back to her house and left me with the cooking, this ramen has become the main sustenance. Usually I just throw whatever is in the fridge and eat the sucker right out of the pot.
Today, as per my usual Chores Tuesday, I went grocery shopping. I decided I was going to splurge a bit because it was pay day and I had some nice change in the bank that I could spend. I bought some damn nice beef that is supposed to be for grilling, some bok choy because I haven’t been eating greens, some eggs, and a whole shitload of non-ramen items. And so, I had possibly the best instant noodle pot I’ve ever made. I essentially threw in whatever spice or condiment I could think of and marinated the beef in some sort of Japanese sauce and even cut the bok choy into pretty bite-sized pieces. I don’t think anyone in history went to the meticulous details I did to prepare some instant ramen. Looking back now I should’ve bought real noodles and just make my own soup base but that’ll be for next time, for sure.
Now, with a rather bloated tummy and a smile the size of Wisconsin, I think I will fall back onto a pillow, throw in The Usual Suspects, and leave Spin Doctors on at a just audible level.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is living.
