[Salone]

When I was younger, I loved both Spaghetti O's and Beef Stew. One day I reasoned that since I loved both, they would perhaps be even better once combined. ...Needless to say, it was not. However, this is about cooking.

One day I am making spaghetti. I like to prepare my sauce first, add in all the herbs and spices and all that and let it simmer while my noodles are cooking. Anyway, I prepare my sauce and put it off to simmer while I get the noodles ready. However, I realize that I am out of noodles. This is a problem. So, I start searching the pantry.

What I do find is ramen.

Yes. I did attempt it. This soggy, maggoty-like mass of tentacled noodles does not particularly jive with the sauce. It takes on this sticky like mass that you perhaps encounter in the cafeteria of a middle school, the kind of meal that you tell your parents about but they think you're just exaggerating. Long story short, it was incredibly awful and the dog would not take a second bite. Lesson learned, check ingredients first.
