Various Thoughts

I found this new kind of Ramen soup across the street. It is a buck seventy-- a little more than the older Ramen bowls. I was skeptical when I bought mine, thinking the portions would be too small and it would all taste the same.

I was amazed! What I got was teriyaki vegetable. The vegetables kind of tasted real, and the spices didn't seem terribly cheap, either. The effect of eating the soup was almost that of being at a restaurant. . . I am pleased! I want to try their ( Maruchan's ) other kinds.

Maruchan must be to the East what Wonder Bread and Budweiser are to us. . .

This week I cleaned my apartment very thoroughly. It really needed it! Whenever I cool on the stove, cooking spray evaporates, then condenses in strange places like in the living room, making everything slightly sticky. Ugh!

So I got this new cleaner and added some elbow grease and really scrubbed everything down. Seems a lot better now.

Of course, what does this all mean-- even my family doesn't visit me here. . . it is a bachelor's No Man's Land!
