Well I am offically broke again, the X is paid in full though so this brings me to my topic.  How do you all feel about ramen.  As a staple for me for the past year, it is very much a love hate relationship.  How do you feel?

As cheap gooey things go, it's not bad.

i've been clean for nearly two years now.

occasionally i'm tempted to go back, just have a little.  but so far i've resisted.

If you can find the 10 for a $1 sales...  Totally worth it.

If you have a little extra to spend on add-ins, it's not half bad.  Diced onions, garlic, Red Rooster hot sauce...  Now you're talkin'.

I think you should boil like 800lbs of the stuff and fill your ex's car with it.  :guns: Especially the shrimp flavor, it's got a nice odor to it.

As for eating it, I practically grew up on the stuff. I used to eat ramen noodles, kool aid to drink, and a star crunch for lunch A LOT.  

noodles

spice pack    

I used to eat the noodles straight from the pack as a crunchy treat when I was drunk.

Yup i do all of the above to make it better.  Also I get frozen chiken brest and cook it up and add to it.  I do hit the $1 sales but being that I have $25 to last me the next two weeks and most of that is going to gas, Ramen will have to do.  Although i do have friends and taco hell and subway so i can get free food if hte right people are working

I used to eat the noodles straight from the pack as a crunchy treat before I was old enough to legally drink.

:lol:  :lol: I do that to when drunk and despirate.  May even sprinkle a little of the power to flavor it

I knew a guy that always ate it that way...  He'd crunch up the pack, add a few drops of water, spice pack, and shake...

He loved it.
I thought it was nasty.

Costco samples!  

And I like ramen! It's one of the things my sweetheart cooks really well (besides delivered pizza!  )

*hiding now*

:lol:  :lol: I have to drive all the way to roanoke to go to Sam's Club.  It's just not fuel efficient for the few samples they have out  

When the Ramen is done, or nearly so, crack an egg and stir it in to the pot.  

Like Egg Drop Soup.  Adds a kick of nutrition to go with the sodium.  Yummy!

+1 Egg!  I do that all the time... LOVE it!

That's just WRONG!! Our Costco usually has lovely samples at lunch time here... Last week, this is what was on the menu:

Liquid Refreshment:
liquid Glucosamine Chondroitin  :lol: (it wasn't bad!)

Starters:
chicken soup sample
chips w/salsa

Main Menu:
chicken salad on cracker
teriyaki chicken bits
popper pieces

Dessert:
trail mix w/M&M's
bite-sized danish pieces

All in all, it was a very pleasant meal. The Costco is big and airy. The wait staff was a bit surly, but the varied cuisine more than made up for the lack of ambience...

Do that too but only use the whites.  I don't need all the cholesterol in the yoke...

Saturated fat in egg yolk is a drop in the bucket to what's in the ramen.

Ramen got me through college.  I ate it dry all the time!!  Skipped the "flavor pack", though...

thats about right on with what we get for a selection at Sam's Club, Costco is better, there is one in Fredericksburg and it is fantastic.
