  • Look up real ramen recipes and think about what each ingredient adds. Use other frozen veggies - a bag of stir fry mix can’t be that different from a bag of broccoli price wise. Eggs definitely. Sausage (or bacon, or Taylor ham, or Spam) can be a good flavor bomb. Frozen seafood mix adds protein, flavor, and changes the dish.

    Also consider seasonings - any of the following help. Paprika, turmeric, garlic, onion, dill, bay leaf. Look at international noodle soups, adapt the flavors.

    Oh, and you can also replace the packet seasoning with a low salt bouillion cube. Still a good flavor, but so much healthier.











  • I don’t pretend to be reasonable. I’m an American. For 250 years, America has been a nation built on external violence for resources. There’s only been a dozen years of peace in the nation’s history, and only one or maybe two of the conflicts we were party to were outside our control. The Monroe doctrine built this country into a better place to live, where resources were always available for a price. This is just another step along that road. “War is a Racket” is absolutely correct - but like all successful rackets that maneuver the law in their favor, it’s incredibly profitable. A resource that we want exists and it is not under our control. Standard American foreign policy is to first offer to buy it, then threaten to take it, and then to take it by force.

    It’s not reasonable. But it’s what defines this country.
