Thurs, July 3

So I completely failed at making ramen last night.

I normally use the 3 minute brick ramen, due to the fact that I can buy it in bulk and it’s dirt cheap. Here’s the process I normally go through for a bowl of ramen: After the water comes to a boil, I’ll pop in the chunk of noodles and set my oven timer to 3 minutes and 20 seconds. After the mandatory 2 minutes of cooking and stirring the noodles, I’ll have a 20 second window in which to rip open the sauce and garnish packets and dump them into the pot before having to wait one more minute for the flavoring to cook. I feel that this method of cooking captures the essence and true experience of instant noodles, and is far superior to opening the sauce packets while the water is boiling or while the noodles are cooking.

Now, normally I can make this window with my eyes closed, but this time, something went terribly, terribly wrong. The exact details of what happened are still a bit hazy to me, but I do know that I ended up with grease and pieces of dried vegetables all over my hand, and had to add another 30 seconds to the timer.

Truly, truly horrifying.

Another sketch done last night in the moleskine:

I think her eyes are a bit too big >_< All in all, not too bad, I had to reference my anatomy book a bit for the breasts since I kept messing up on them for some reason.
