One chilly evening....

Well hello everyone, my name is John and this is my first post. I figured tonight would be a great night to start blogging because I do have a dream, that dream is to spread my love of the finer things in life (food and drink). This dream is in no way as noble or as life changing as Dr. King's, but it is a dream nonetheless. This is also a great night to start spreading my love of food because it is my favorite time of year. For those of you that do not know me, I love cold weather, I was built for it. Cold weather forces people to slow down a little bit, stay inside and enjoy those finer things I was talking about. Tonight I enjoyed something that warms ones insides, clears heads and is easy on the wallet. Most people know it as Ramen noodles, I like the Nong Shim brand Shin Ramyun noodle soup. It is roughly 12-15 USD for a case of them and the noodles come with a spice pack and a dehydrated veggie pack. Another thing that you might not know about me is that I will alter or "doctor up" standard foods to fit my tastes. Here is a basic description of how I made tonights masterpiece:

1. In a pot, put enough water to submerge to noodles (do not use the microwave!!!).
2. Bring water to a low boil/high simmer.
3. While water is heating up create John's "custom sauce". This will consist of 6 Tbsp olive oil, 3 Tbsp of MDH Meat Curry Masala (Thank you Rita), 3 Tbsp Sriracha HOT Chili Sauce (look for the rooster!), 1 Tsp cracked black pepper, 3 crushed cloves of garlic, 2 eggs. Wisk all this together until it looks like a big jumbled mess.
4. Add noodles to heated water
5. When you are able to move the noodles apart from their disk shape add the spice pack
6. Once the spice pack is spread about among the water and noodles add the dehydrated veggie pack.
7. Add John's "custom sauce."
8. Once eggs seem to be cooked take the pot off the heat, never overcook your noodles, you will lose flavor and texture.
9. Pour your wonderful meal into a big, wide, deep bowl.
10. Grab a handful of cilantro and put on top of your noodles, top the cilantro with 1 Tbsp of sour cream.

Enjoy!

This meal would go great with a corona or a glass of milk (depending on how much you love spicy, hot food).
