Supper

So, today I decided to eat in... rather than in the school canteen. I stopped by the campus store and bought a cup o noodles. Yay!! Didn't give it another thought as I grabbed some crackers and hi-chews (they're like starbursts). 

(Below, is the picture that accompanies this story.)
So, I'm super ready to eat, and pretty excited about my beef noodles. Then, to my dismay I realize that the directions are in chinese... Oh boy. But, I can't let that deter me, I'll figure it out!! I turned to my chinese dictionary on my phone, and looked up a few words that I figured were on the directions. Turns out I was right, and doing things okay. However, I wasn't sure how much water to add.... There was kinda, sorta a line on the cup... Well, thats the line I used! 

Then I put it in the microwave and waited anxiously for it to ding!... thats my reflection in the microwave, by the way. Well, it dinged! but the noodles were still kinda crunchy. Back in! I think they were in for about 3 minutes... or so. They came out looking okay. But REALLY SUPER HOT! So, alas, I could not eat them immediately. So, I made a cup of coffee. Took my contacts out, and checked Facebook waiting so (or not so) patiently for them to be cooled. When I could finally eat them (my glasses still fogged a bit) they were delicious!! 

All in all, a successful dinner experiment. I China so well. 

Until next time.

    1. I realized after I started, that I've never made cup o noodles at home. So I didn't even have a reference....
