Ramen Egg Foo Yung
1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles (I think chicken is the best but I like oriental flavored, occasionally)
3 tablespoons butter
2 large eggs
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
soy sauce (optional)
Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions and drain well in a colander.
Whisk eggs, onions, 1/2 of the seasoning packet, and sesame oil with a fork in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat butter on med high heat in an 8 inch nonstick skillet.
Add drained noodles to butter and brown very lightly about two or three minutes. Do not stir much.
Pour whisked egg mixture over noodles and gently incorporate, don't really stir, just sort of mix it gently.
Flip the patty over and cook the other side until the egg is set, about two minutes.
Flip over again and cook about 1 minute more.
Serve with soy sauce if you wish or an egg foo yung sauce.

4 servings
Beef Ramen Stir Fry
1/2 lb beef, cut into strips
1/2 cup red bell peppers, cut into strips
1/2 cup green bell peppers, cut into strips
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles (1 beef, 1 oriental flavor)
1/2 cup snow peas
1/2 cup broccoli
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
Fill a large saucepan 2/3 full of water.
Bring to a boil.
When water boils, add ramen noodles and cook 3 minutes.
Drain.
Meanwhile, in a wok or large frying pan, heat oil on high heat.
Add beef, vegetables, teryiaki sauce, garlic, ginger, and seasoning packets from ramen noodles.
Stirfry until beef is cooked through.
Add noodles and toss to combine.
4-6 servings
Chili & Cheese Ramen
3 packages ramen noodles (any flavor since you won't need the seasoning packet) or 2-3 cups of any leftover pasta (plain)
2 (15 ounce) cans chili with beans (use meatless if you swing that way)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with or without green chilies)
4-8 ounces shredded cheese or sliced cheese (of your choice, Monterey Jack, American, Cheddar - I usually use extra sharp cheddar - you get a lot)
Get a 3-quart casserole with a lid, and put about 6 cups of water in it, cover it and stick it in the microwave for about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, crush the packages of ramen slightly, carefully open and remove the seasoning packets, which you won't need.
(Collect'em, trade'em with your friends. I have 47 assorted seasoning packets now!) Set aside the ramen for now.
Open the cans of chili and the tomatoes.
Do not drain the tomatoes: you'll need the juice in this or it might be kind of dry.
If the cheese is sliced or in a chunk, break or cut it up into small bits that will melt easily.
Take the casserole out of the microwave, dump in the ramen noodles, pushing all the bits down into the water, breaking it up a bit more if necessary.
Cover and return to microwave oven, cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Check to see if the ramen noodles seem mostly done.
(You don't want them mushy. Okay, maybe you do, but I don't) If they seem done, drain well.
The lid on my casserole is not a tight fit, so I just hold the lid on and turn the whole things sideways so the water drains out.
Dump in the chili and tomatoes, and toss well.
I used two large spoons to do this.
Cover and return to microwave, cook on HIGH for 5 minutes or until hot throughout.
When you remove the casserole from the microwave, put your side dish in to heat up.
Then sprinkle the chili ramen with cheese, replace cover, and let stand until cheese melts.
By the time the side dish is hot, the cheese should be melted nicely.
Now, check to see if they got that table set, or if you're gonna put this in the fridge for tomorrow night's dinner!

Instead of eating ramen in boiled water, try this.
Boil Ramen in water for a min or two (dont add anything yet).
Once the noodles are soft (not too soft), drain the water.
In a separate pan, heat table soon of oil, put some green peas, diced or cut carrots and some diced onion. Fry it for a little while. Now add the drained noodles and the contents of the packet (that came with ramen) in to this mix and fry a little. Now you have dry ramen noodles with some peas and carrots ready to eat.

Really tough question, I'll throw two out there and hopefully one will stick: Pavement is particularly difficult because they're tough to really put a finger on. I think one of their consistant qualities would a sort of different approach that doesn't take itself too seriously, and lyrically is intriguing but may mean nothing at all. The first verse from Billie: Billie my friend the saint You're perfect in so many ways But you never looked hard at a fetus in a jar You never saw your mother change And this wonderland of spite Does not shine into your night Like widows are seen as stigmatised beings Who ought to have a second chance And hurricanes spin Like debutantes in a trance... And when it comes to Elliott Smith there are a lot of directions to go. I'll just go with a personal favorite that has that imagery that was such a big part of making him so special as an artist, and dives right into the sort of desperation that he was famous for. from Better Be Quiet Now: had a dream I was an army man with an order just to march in my place while a dead enemy screams in my face but i better be quiet now, i'm tired of wasting my breath carrying on, not over it yet. Now that I've answered it I'm totally dissatisfied with the answer, and in both cases I even cheated and used 2 stanzas each.... Oh well, I guess the answer is no. ***************** Thanks Huevo. You too, it actually made me want to dust off some Jawbreaker. That's a pretty perfect stanza for them. ***************** Way too late, but just in case this one doesn't go to a vote I just thought of not a stanza, but one line/song title that sums up a group perfectly (which hopefully is better). The Smiths: Heaven knows I'm miserable now.
