50 Things to Do with Ramen Noodles
When I was 20 years old, I moved out of my parents house and into an overpriced hovel in New York City to begin a new life. While I worked in a big, cushy publishing office, my paycheck was anything but. As a result I subsisted on a steady diet of Ramen Noodles and mixed veggies. You may think a diet of nothing but Ramen for three years might get a little boring, but you’d be surprised how creative one can get. Loyal Readers, I give you:

I honestly don’t believe you. You are way too fun. I doubt before this I could think of three ways to make Ramen. It’s not that good for you is the downside but the upside is my son would eat it every night if I let him — it’s great quick kid food.
BTW Was your sidebar always black? This is weird. Wasn’t it green?

I have a longstanding aversion to Ramen, probably from overdoing it during my college dorm room days. This list actually makes me want to pick up a pack of Ramen noodles during my next trip to the grocery store.
Thanks for putting this together. Dugg and Reddited!
