Just Gimme a Bowl of Salty Noodles!
I do not know what is wrong with me. I crave ramen like it nobody's business. It's all I want to eat all day long. This after I swore off ramen forever, as of two or three years ago.
Why would I swear off ramen? Well, I learned something about ramen that I didn't want to know. Yes it's a convenient, yummy source of salted noodle goodness, but did you also know that the noodles are deep-fried before they are dried? I kid you not!
If you ever look at the nutritional information on a package, you'll see that the fat content is surprisingly high for noodles. It's the deep-frying! Oh, and notice that the serving size is calculated at half a package. Have you ever known anyone to split a package of ramen with someone? Wait, don't tell me, everybody does that? I don't believe it.
I thought I'd never want ramen again, then suddenly it seems like the best food on earth. It doesn't help when it costs less than a quarter a serving. "Look at me! I'm so thrifty eating this crap." It'd be okay if was just one lunchtime transgression, but I swear, if you let me have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, right now I would.
Hmmm, I just got to thinking. Ramen is salty. Thanks to chemo, I haven't tasted salty flavors in a couple of months. Maybe that's what's behind this! Well, it's gotta stop or they're going to roll me out of here.
