You can get a rotisserie chicken for about five bucks at Costco. Not only can you just eat the meat by itself, it can also be the basis of casseroles, tacos, soups… Especially if you boil the bones to make stock. It's ridiculous to suggest that it is a crazy splurge to buy one.

As demonstrated here, I have a high tolerance for spice.

I accidentally started with their 2x spicy flavor, and I was wrecked by it. I couldn't eat more than 1/4 of the package, which was frustrating, because I thought the flavor was delicious. After I realized my mistake, I tried the less spicy flavors and fell absolutely in love.

Honestly, this is one of the less spicy of this brand. Plus, I usually have a milk tea to hand while eating it.

I actually almost never have that problem with defecating after spicy foods. I've been eating these noodles for over a year, and I've never had an issue.

Could I just eat normal Ramen? Of course I could. But why would I when instead, I can have spicy Tom Yum Ramen with shrimp, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice?

I remember when Jack-in-the-Box was a franchise in Massachusetts. I remember when Woburn got its first Toys "R" Us. My family used to shop at A&P and Zayre's. I remember when chicken fingers were an incredibly novel item to find on a restaurant menu.

My AOL account was Wolfboy1. My character Victor All-Tribes-Howl-As-One (Child of Gaia lupus ahroun) was part of the First Pack of RhyDIn (which was mentioned in the credits of Tribebook Fianna). My first D&D set came with chits and B1: In Search of the Unknown. My first home video game was Pong...

I prepared the noodles, and I opened and started sprinkling the "sweet sprinkles" over them.
I'm pretty sure that, in this case, the sweet sprinkles are a combination of MSG and either raw sugar or brown sugar. They gave the dish a little crunch, and a nice sweetness. I really quite enjoyed it.

But when we looked on the back of the package, it did mention sweet sprinkles. I figured they must've been trying them and had positive results, so I was determined to give it a shot. After all, I'm always talking about the delicious juxtaposition of Sweet n Savory.

I love when I get a chance to try a new flavor of Samyang Buldak. I've been hearing good things about the "Swicy" flavor, but I was a little concerned when I saw what looked like little candied sprinkles in the image on the front of the package. I know they often show their "suggested serving"...

I remember a ways back there was some kind of meme about what items would be used to create a summoning circle for you. If you wanna summon me, you'd use RPG dice, all kinds of notebooks and journals (blank of course), maps, backpacks, kitchen gadgets, and different flavors of Samyang Buldak Ramen.

When I referred to "my partners" the last time I saw her before yesterday, she just very casually asked, "oh, are you in a poly relationship, bub?" she's really amazing. And, like I say, I really like the way she cuts my hair!
