Oh no - my life is full weird coincidences. I just walked in the door from work and found a belated birthday present from two friends in the mail.

Good thing they are what they are, because I nearly pissed myself when I saw them.

(These accompany the original present given on my actual birthday night, which were a pair of briefs identical to the zebra-print ones Owen Wilson pulls out of his ass during the walk-off scene in Zoolander.)

my husband makes ramen with eggs (like egg-drop soup) and shredded cheese with hot (spicy) banana peppers and green pimento stuffed olives and lots of garlic.

When I'm feeling adventurous I'll have a bite.

Then I'll remember why I don't ask him to cook.

Had ramen and eggs and canned spinach back in the day, and it took about 5 minutes to prepare together and considerably less than that to come back up.

I actually printed off a nice Ramen recipe called Ramen Shrimp Pouch from FoodTV last night. I ran across it while fact-checking one of my posts here.

My only problem is that I don't like mushrooms and don't have any Mirin (sweet Japanese wine).


Off-topic, if anyone wants to try this recipe for Stone Fruit Pouches at the next Plastic Forks, I'll try it if someone helps me with the ingredients.
