I have opted to stay anonymous to safeguard my identity from the embarrassment. Last night, I felt hungry and opted to make some ramen. I extracted the various packets from the bowl, included the seasoning and veggies, then put the bowl in the microwave. After about a short while or two, I realized something was wrong. A awful burning smell had permeated my kitchen. I unlatched the door to my microwave and…behold…I had neglected to add water. There was some smoke rising from the bowl. Not wanting to waste the ramen, I went to the sink and added water, which filled the room with acrid smoke for several seconds. I then returned the bowl again 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 globule of blackened noodles which had transformed into some sort of peculiar crystalline substance yet seen in nature by humankind. I had a change of mind.
