A Quick Ramen Fix

Posted in Plateful by

I like ramen. Even though it’s not something that I can make quickly and easily, I try to make the packet ones if I need a fix. The thing is, those never come close to the “real stuff”. However, I happened upon these three old polaroid photos, in an ancient looking (and smelling) cookbook, that spell out how to make a pretty nice tasting ramen that’s also super cheap. Aren’t you lucky? I’m sharing them with you!

Ok, I didn’t really find polaroids in an old book, I was just playing around with the FxCamera filters on my phone. I admit, it’s fun taking photos this way, I might be over doing it soon enough.

Back to the topic at hand though, adding an egg – and making sure you break it up before it coagulates – really adds another dimension to plain package ramen, and I’m a little hooked on it! Especially since I can’t get the REAL deal.

Personal cards

Posted in Media, Social Media by

I’m not a fan of business cards. I always forget that I have them so I don’t give them to any one. Then there is also the fact that I don’t use other people’s cards when I get them. I mean, the idea is a good one, here is my contact information on a tiny piece of paper, use it. However, I always forget that I have them, then I never use it.

Yet, I recently created my own cards. They aren’t business cards but personal cards. It has my name on the front and on the back it has a QR code.

You scan it and it takes you a website with my social sites. I’m not sure I’ll ever use them, but I suppose it’s good to have. The funny thing is, I really only created them so that I could use the QR code. What’s that? I’m a nerd? Yeah, I know.

 

Creativity …

[from thisisindexed.com]

I think we all have the ability to create, whether from experience or from imagination, all humans can create and I’d go as far as saying that we create, in some way, daily.

I’ve always had this idea in my head that people who are creative are people with great imaginations, but that is not the case. I’ve wrongly assumed that the creative person is one who does something big or masterful. Yet, I create daily and I can assure you that it’s neither great, nor masterful.

When I try cooking a meal or baking a dessert, I’m being creative – or at least trying. When I give ideas for my job or to my friends, I’m being creative. When I strum the chords on my guitar, it might not sound the greatest, but I’m being creative. When I write on my blog, I’m being creative. When I walk down the street and notice a building and stop to take a picture, I’m being creative.

When I make a mess in my room, I’m being creative. Some may say that’s my greatest creation yet. I’m just waiting for inspiration … and bookshelves. =)
