Day 06: How to burn yourself with Ramen

Day 06 — My worst cooking disaster involved ______ and this person/these people…

You mean you want me to just write about ONE? As a college student who, as I said yesterday, gets pampered by her parents…I don’t cook much.

In fact, the most I usually do is heat up Ramen and crack in an egg when I’m feeling particularly adventurous. In fact, that’s exactly what I’m doing right now. The Ramen’s in the pot, boiling merrily away. In a few minutes, I’ll go add in my egg. It will be delicious and easy.

But this cooking incident (involving nobody other than myself) is even more pathetic than messing up with Ramen on the stove.

You know why?

Because I messed up MICROWAVEABLE RAMEN! Such blasphemy, I know. I was microwaving some Cup Noodles Freshman year in my dorm room. One of my roommates was at home for the weekend, the other was downstairs in Carolyn’s room. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because she’s one of my current roommates. We’ve all been really close ever since we began our undergraduate studies at this university. You’ll hear these names pop up again and again whenever I have to blog honestly about crazy things I’ve done.

I heated up my water and poured it into the Cup Noodles cup. I then went to sit down on my bed with my finished Cup Noodles so I could eat and get some reading done. (You would be surprised at how much of my studying and paper-writing has been done on my bed) As I sat down, the top of the Cup Noodles cup split right down the side and all the boiling hot water and noodles sloshed right down my left side. 

Second degree burns. From Ramen.

To this day, I still have burn marks.

But by no means is this my only one. I’ve put salt instead of sugar when making tea, and sugar instead of salt when cooking. I’ve managed to make Indian food taste bland. I’ve managed to mess up cooking plain white rice.

My mom tells me I’ll never find myself a husband.
