I have opted to keep my identity hidden to shield my identity from the embarrassment. Yesterday evening, I felt hungry and opted to make some ramen. I extracted the various packets from the bowl, included the seasoning and dried vegetables, then put the bowl in the microwave. After about a minute or two, I noticed something was wrong. A awful burning smell had filled my kitchen. I unlatched the door to my microwave and…lo and behold…I had neglected to add water. There was some smoke coming from the bowl. Not wanting to throw away the ramen, I went to the sink and poured in water, which engulfed the room with acrid smoke for several seconds. I then placed the bowl once more 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 clump of blackened noodles which had turned into some sort of bizarre crystalline substance never before seen. I had a second thoughts.
