A Not-So Instant Noodle (though still damn fast...)

I'm gonna be completely honest with you. I love me a good noodle. Oodle's of noodles, I can't get enough.

I have no prejudice, I have equal love for noodles of all shapes, sizes and composition. I'll pay top dollar for a noodle that's worth it without thinking twice. I've also spent many, many meals on the $0.39 side of a pack of instant noodle.

THIS SUMMER I have tried my best to not turn on my oven and I have gone to great lengths to avoid turning on my stove. When it's that hot outside you just come up with every excuse to not go outside and want to eat cool things all day long.

A window AC on the top floor of a walk-up just can't compete with this type of heat.
