I have decided to stay anonymous to protect my identity from the embarrassment. The previous night, I felt hungry and chose to make some ramen. I extracted the various packets from the bowl, put in the spice mix and veggies, then put the bowl in the microwave. After about a short while or two, I realized something was wrong. A horrible burning smell had permeated my kitchen. I swung open the door to my microwave and…lo and behold…I had failed to include water. There was some smoke rising from the bowl. Not wanting to discard the ramen, I went to the sink and poured in water, which engulfed the room with acrid smoke for several seconds. I then placed the bowl back in the microwave and cooked it for two more minutes before attempting to eat it. Well…It went okay for a little while, until I discovered a mass of blackened noodles which had turned into some sort of peculiar crystalline substance never before seen. I had a change of heart.
