As I look back in time, there are misty memories of supplemental hotpot meals concocted by a young freshman moving into the Southeastern dorms on the UW campus at Madison. At that time, the only appliance allowed in dormitories was the ever-present hotpot, made for boiling water.
Between the meal plans offered for the Southeastern Cafs and Pops shack, most students carried a stash of: cocoa, coffee, lipton and canned soups, macaroni and cheese, and the yardstick of campus food life- RAMEN (mind you, this predates the styrofoam cups of Ramen you can get nowadays, and the plethora of flavors now--we had like 3 or 4 then). With its 5 minute prep and 30 cent a package pricetag, Ramen cookery became a craft.
For those current students (as well as those Ramen alumnus from the golden days), I share with you another blog that gives you 50 ways to prepare the economical student staple, the humble ramen noodle.
mmmm
