Last night my husband and I were debating after a long day what to make for dinner. We rummaged through the kitchen and found some Ramen Noodle Soup that he bought a little while back and decided to make it. I've never had it before, so it was a first for me! (Kind of fitting to try some "college food", being I'm going back to college next week!)
So here he is, explaining to me how to make it, goofing off how we usually do when he comes home after his AEMT class, having our forum about his class topic that night, etc. When it's finally done, I put it in a bowl, grab a *spoon*, and go to sit down on the couch while he finishes up some homework.
*Side Note*
He likes to pick on me sometimes, say that I'm weird because I normally use a fork for {EVERYTHING} including rice, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, etc. Spoons are for soups, ice cream, cereal, oatmeal, applesauce, etc.
If he's the one cooking dinner and brings out the plates with a spoon attached to it, I normally have to go back in the kitchen and grab a fork. But I digress...
Anyways. Eating Ramen Noodle Soup is interesting if you don't break up the noodles before putting it in the water initially! It's like eating curly spaghetti in chicken noodle soup! So here he is, laughing at me, and telling me that I need to eat it with a FORK, not a spoon, and that you just drink the broth! FOR THE LOVE! It's soup! What madness is this?! Is this some sort of man logic? Hah!
Ramen Noodle Soup verdict: It actually is good! Last night when I tried it for the first time, I couldn't finish it, so Alex finished it for me. I thought it was a bit too salty for me. So tonight since he is working until midnight, I decided to try and make it again, but this time with some changes:
-Break up the noodles before you put it in the water!
-Only add *half* of the seasoning packet! Much less saltier! I still got that "Chicken Flavor"
-Add some fresh ground pepper!
And it works perfectly with a spoon!
As for school, I have orientation next week Friday! I'm actually a bit nervous about it though. My last college experience wasn't all that great, and the staff wasn't very helpful. Although I can say with complete confidence, that every staff member I've met at Hilbert has been nothing but helpful and pleasant! Hopefully it stays that way!
Between working a part time job, (I got hired today at a fantastic place! No more EMS :( Post on that later)going to school full time, keeping up with the animals, house, and a husband, I'm actually excited about it all! I am determined to succeed.
A HUGE THANK YOU to my fabulous husband, Alex for supporting me going back to College, being the only one working for a month, all the while starting up his AEMT class 3 nights a week. I couldn't ask for a better person to share my life with. I love you!

I am happy to see how happy you are. Ramen soup? Glad to know you are taking Nutrition this semester. Though it seems like a good base for Clean the Refrigerator Soup—check the refrigerator for leftover veggies and protein to throw in. Our childhood dog did that tummy-up thing. When he wasnit getting enough attention, he would just stroll to the middle of the group,and roll over. Sweet Spotty, a smooth-hair fox terrier.
