I have chosen to stay anonymous to protect my identity from the embarrassment. The previous night, I felt 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 noticed something was wrong. A terrible burning smell had filled 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 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 discovered a clump of blackened noodles which had become some sort of bizarre crystalline substance yet seen in nature by humankind. I had a change of mind.
