I have chosen to remain anonymous to protect my identity from the foolishness. Yesterday evening, I felt hungry and chose to make some ramen. I removed the various packets from the bowl, added the spice mix and vegetables, then put the bowl in the microwave. After about a short while or two, I realized something was wrong. A horrible burning smell had permeated my kitchen. I unlatched the door to my microwave and…low and behold…I had forgotten to put in water. There was some smoke coming from the bowl. Not wanting to waste the ramen, I went to the sink and added water, which filled the air with acrid smoke for several seconds. I then placed the bowl again in the microwave and cooked it for two more minutes before attempting to eat it. Well…It went okay for a little while, until I discovered a globule of blackened noodles which had become some sort of strange crystalline substance never before seen. I had a change of heart.
