Is there really an iPad at Ramen HQ? No…at least not yet. This teaser is just a pic of us goofing around with one at our local Apple store this morning. (Thanks for the free coffee and Krispy Kreme, Apple! Sorry we didn’t buy anything today!) It sure is purty…a bit heavier than I expected,...

I don’t often shill for web sites that sell instant ramen (though there are links off on the side for anyone in need), but this is a neat idea. It’s simple…and the picture above is pretty self-explanatory: you choose the size of the “Ramenbox,” fill it with your choice of instant ramen, pay a flat...

Now I’m absolutely starving…for ramen. Really, really good ramen…is there a ramen equivalent of a cold shower? (Shaking fist in air)...
