I have chosen to keep my identity hidden to safeguard my identity from the embarrassment. Yesterday evening, I got hungry and opted to make some ramen. I took out the various packets from the bowl, added the flavor 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 filled my kitchen. I swung open the door to my microwave and…low and behold…I had failed to include water. There was some smoke coming from the bowl. Not wanting to throw away the ramen, I went to the sink and put in water, which engulfed the room with acrid smoke for several seconds. I then put 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 encountered a mass of blackened noodles which had transformed into some sort of strange crystalline substance never before seen. I had a second thoughts.
