Oodles of savings

Mel writes in her blog about a lunch that I would argue is not just for financially-challenged college students: Ramen Noodles.

Yea, there's a new cookbook called "101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles," but why mess with a good thing? Just rip open the package, add 2 cups of water and nuke it for about 3 minutes.

You can usually get 5 for a buck, so that's still a great deal.

Oh, sure. Ramen noodles is just plain bad for you. Loaded with sodium. And, yes, it's good enough for the little people like the poor, but not for us who know better, the PC food police and food snobs will cry out.

Blah, blah blah. Geez. Lighten up a little.

Dare I say I like the taste? Yes. I've said it. I'm going to admit I like the taste of ramen noodles and choose to buy it, not because I'm poor and I'm in college. You know, a package of dehydrated beef or chicken hits the spot sometimes.

I do have a bone to pick, however. Years ago, they stopped making the sesame flavor one. Remember? You got something extra in the package - a packet of sesame oil that you spread over the noodles when you were done.
