Hello hello. Once again I update from the lovely Java Joy. Here's my first installment of catch-up story time:

Shortly after my mom had left for home, leaving me alone in my new apartment, I decided that I was too lazy to make myself a proper dinner. Maruchan Ramen was on the menu that night. The flavor: Creamy Chicken.

In order to make myself feel less like I would die from lack of proper nutrition, I decided to augment my noodle soup with fresh, tasty vegetables. I chopped up green onions, cabbage, and broccoli to add to the pot. I didn’t add any meat or meat-like substances and felt a little guilty over my lack of protein, but I was far too lazy to do anything about it.

With my ramen soup complete, I sat down in my camping chair with my TV tray before me and began to enjoy my supper. So full of noodles, vegetables, and speckled seasonings! How could I not love it?

Alas, my bliss did not last. As the bottom of my soup bowl came into view I noticed that some of the specks I assumed were seasonings seemed conspicuously aphid shaped. “Funny, that” I thought to myself, “I didn’t know that seasonings came in aphid shapes.”

As it turns out, seasonings in fact do not come in aphid shapes. I had just consumed 3/4 of a bowl of aphid-noodle soup.

After finishing my meal (I had already eaten most of it, there was no point in stopping now) I found the source of my unwanted ingredient: infested broccoli. It had been purchased at a local grocery store earlier that week, and I honestly did wash it, but it seems that destiny took over and made sure that I got protein in my meal whether I wanted it or not.

Let this be a lesson to you all: check your vegetables before purchase, and for goodness sake, put some meat and/or meat substitute in your ramen!

The End

That's like the time when Trevor fixed mac and cheese, and we each ate a bowl. At the bottom of both bowls, when we went to put them in the sink, we noticed some little friends! Why, meal moth larvae, one in each bowl!

We like to pretend there were exactly two friends in the whole box of pasta.
