I drain the water, and use some of the flavor packet on the noodles. Also a little sesame oil, if I was not fortunate enough to get the chicken sesame flavor. YUMMERS.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I OD'd on ramen, my tolerance of the flavor packets was the first to go....

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think that might have been from the same person who passed along her father's advice to drink Chivas on dates -- it's expensive, so the guy won't get you liquored up, and you (18 year old girl "you") won't like it that much, so you won't get yourself liquored up, either...
This too! Except it's Glenlevet, and it's not so much that I don't like the taste, it's that they figure it's a waste of time because I'll drink them under the table.

I use the packets. I also boil it down until it's riiiiight before mush. so, it's less soup and more slushy noodles.

I used the flavor packets. I was too poor to own a spice rack.

Oh, another of my college dishes was mac-n-cheese with tuna and stewed tomatoes. Actually, that doesn't sound bad right now....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
do you use those flavor packets? or toss them?
I use about half, and reserve the rest to toss into stirfry.

I love DJ.
Ramen + eggs stirred in was one of my marathon-training meals. Bleagh.

Okay, when I buy ramen most of the time I wind up munching on the noodles dry.
So addicting.

I ate at the cafeteria in college (I lived in the dorms). Ramen doesn't enter our house anymore due to carb and high-fat issues--have you read the nutrition labels on ramen? Scary.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I lived at home through college and turned a tidy profit between scholarships (oh, how badly my crummy state university wanted my GPA in the mix!) and working part-time. So it was a mix of Mom's food on weekends and cafeteria or fast food during the week. I didn't get into ramen and rice until I was living roommate-free in 1998.
