Recipe #1! The makeshift Thanksgiving dinner

I'm sure you're all wondering what that "masterpiece" dish the girl came up with on that one Thanksgiving night was. Well, here it is! TA-DA!

~:top ramen fried with asparagus in sauted garlic, spam, and eggs (oh, and olive oil and salt of course):~

I ALWAYS have Top Ramen in my room. Towers of it. It is my belief that ALL college students should have towers of Top Ramen stacked 10 packages high in some bookshelf or other in their tiny little dorm rooms. Spam is also a must, or some meaty alternative for those who hate the extraordinarily high sodium content of Spam. Since you're not going to actually have HEALTHY frozen meat in your freezer, why not just get some nice canned unhealthy shit instead? Like, duh, right? Anyhoo! Yeah. And if you REALLY want to be silly, always have a carton of eggs in the fridge. Breakfast: fried eggs, Lunch/Dinner: Eggs and Spam in Top Ramen. In short, those three things makes the (college) world go 'round. Hey, at least eggs are healthy!

Back to the point. I know most dorm students just have cup noodles sitting around, but still. Top Ramen, Spam and eggs aren't that hard to come by. The asparagus is a different story though. Fortunately for me, there's a Super Target not too far away from here, so before everybody left for Thanksgiving, I went and stocked up on some food, including vegetables. You can substitute the asparagus for anything green, really. Something more easy to find, like iceberg lettuce, would work too. Oh, and don't forget to get garlic while you're at it.

Now, after much blabbing, the recipe:

~:Top Ramen fried with asparagus, Spam and eggs:~

Ingredients:

Salt

Olive oil (or any other oil. I just happened to have spent a !@#%load of $ on olive oil instead, 'cause it's like, healthier or something?)

2 cloves garlic

1 Large Egg

1 Package Top Ramen (whatever flavor works, 'cause YOU'RE NOT GONNA USE THE MSG PACKAGE ANYWAY! why? you say you like that stuff? well you SHOULDN'T! grr ARF ARF grrrr... msg is like the worst thing you can do to your body aside from drugs :[ (ya, that's exaggerated, w/e))

3 slices of spam, 1/2 cm thick, cut into 1cm x 1cm blocks

3 spears of asparagus, cut into 1/2 cm thick and 1 cm in diameter slices (or whatever size works for you)

Steps:

1) Boil enough water to submerge a block of top ramen. Stick the ramen in and boil for three minutes. You can add some salt to the water if you want your ramen to be salty...

2) Drain the ramen and set aside.

3) In a pan (8in diameter pans are just right, though you'll have to be careful not to spill things out the edges), saute 2 cloves garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped asparagus. Add salt. Mix everything evenly around the bottom of the pan. Add ramen. Let it sit for a few seconds, then mix it together with the asparagus and lay it evenly across the pan. I did all this on medium-high heat... I think?

4) Add spam. Mix into noodles until the asparagus, garlic, and spam are evenly distributed. Lay evenly across pan. Add salt to taste, if you did not before... Cook for 2 minutes, then flip over. Make sure all parts of the noodles are fried, and not just the surfaces. (You can take your spatula or w/e tool you're using and separate the noodles, so that you can flip it over onto uncooked sides.)

5) Cook for another 2 minutes, flip again. Do this until your TOTAL cook time is 8 minutes.

6) Add an egg evenly to the top. Mix it into the noodles. Cook for another 2 minutes.

7) Take off heat; you're done! (Gawsh, I'm such a blabber mouth. That was one long recipe post... x.x)

8) Enjoy.
