the ramen blog & other goodies!

Ok, while this is not specifically ramen-related, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is generously providing a pair of free personalized luggage tags. All you gotta do is upload the image you want printed on your tags, and fill out your address, which is printed on the back side. I got my luggage tags in about 2 weeks and hopefully, my ramen-themed tags will let me easily pick out my boring black luggage from the throngs of other boring black luggage out there. I don’t know how long this offer lasts, so act now!

…my wife! Now, now…settle down! Ramen comes second! Imagine my surprise when I came home from work and saw what my wife bought for me. Thanks, sweetie!

…blogs that is. I’m behind on my blog reading, and I decide that catching up on Japan-based ramen blogs (and recently, these two characters) was somehow a good idea to do right before dinner. Now I’m absolutely starving…for ramen. Really, really good ramen…is there a ramen equivalent of a cold shower? (Shaking fist in air)

So Nissin is giving away little Gundam figures with Cup Noodles, but the main reason I’m posting this is as an excuse to tell everyone about the 1:1 scale giant robot in Tokyo!

I’m not even sure this is worth posting, but seeing how it hit 97 degrees today…

Basically this ramen “tip” says to cook your instant noodles, but don’t fill it up all the way. Leave about 5 cm of space for ice cubes. Ta-da!
