Excited
I love food; no, no, I really LOVE food. It’s a relationship that has been sacred and intimate and enjoyable. I scoff at canned soups and instant anything.
But, somewhere in my genetic makeup is a deep love for instant ramen.
I blame my Dad for this; I grew up sneaking instant ramen into my belly as often as I can. I had to hide it from the Mother who frowned upon the horror that is instant ramen. She would go on and on about how bad it was and how it’s going to ruin my health. I would have a sassy comeback and ignore her and I happily slurped through my bowl of instant goodness. I love it so much, I even have my own little method of cooking it.
This is the reason I would never show my Mother this article on students who have ate instant foods increasing their risk of getting chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Oh, the gloating she would do and the triumph she would feel knowing that her nagging has been true all along. She would never be silenced in saying over and over again how instant ramen consumption really does have negative and horrible affects on one’s health.

It is really good raw with just a sprinkling of chicken (all the other packets are disgusting without water) seasoning.
haha i love it, and my mom would totally relish an opportunity to remind me how often she told me that this was not good to have as a staple in college...
I really hate instant noddles. I think it's desrespectiful call this thing a lamen.
Back in college I usually made a lot of lamen soup on weekends and I just frozen them to eat while the weekdays. Much better than any instant noddle.
Back in college, I sometimes added some corn or peas & carrots to my instant ramen to make them "gourmet." Hopefully, those frozen veggies shaved a few percentage points off my chances for chronic diseases.
I was *THIS CLOSE* to popping open some instant ramen for lunch after seeing this post.
