re: #192 The Ghost of a Flea

You’re improvising.

I deliberately and with full intention put a slice of processed cheese to melt on the noodles at the end of cooking…because that’s a thing Koreans do (true), and therefore I have to experience it (lie I tell to myself).

Probably the best shortcut food I’ve learned to appreciate right now is a tub of white miso and chicken stock for miso soup, because it has a mercury-amalgam quality to it where you can put in pretty much anything (mostly vegetables in my attempts) and get a decent meal.

No, you go mad and believe it’s a decent meal.

I don’t want to sound too pitiable. I’ve got a half-dozen MREs less than a decade old and haven’t had to breach them.
