I think you need to have an open mind here James. Go ahead open your mind up and try it again, I'm sure it will taste a whole lot different. Mmmmm mmmm good.

Have you tried Frank's Red Hot? That's my *favorite* spic-i-fier. Not too hot, actually flavorful. It redeems reheated mac n cheese - splash in some milk, splash on the Frank's, nuke & shake fabulous!! Let us all know how it goes. Lamentably I haven't had ramen in a year+

hmmm. It has been a long time since i've eaten such fare. It sounds like you've come a long way from the rice and hot sauce days. Me, I prefer the buffalo pizza calzone, no ramen- just one man's opinion.
