tempest in a teacup

the pointless musings of a strange recluse

I M SMRT

August 25th, 2008 | Category: Randomness, Real life stuff

Somehow in the space of two hours I have managed to not only leave my cell phone at work, but fill my apartment with smoke. How did I manage the latter, do you ask?

Why, I cooked some instant noodles!

In the microwave.

Without adding water first.

Do you know what you get when you cook flavour powder, dried mushroom, dried rice noodles and oil in a microwave without water? You get a giant block of simmering carbon. And a crapload of smoke.

And my apartment STILL smells like smoke, 3 hours later.

Fun fact: this apartment I’m living is was refurbished after a fire accident prior to my renting it.

I really wish I could say that there was something important on my mind while I was engaging in this minor act of arson, but there really wasn’t…

    I tried it without adding water, with the soup powder at the bottom of the bowl in high school (on experience, the noodles tastes better).

    The powder created a hole in my plastic microwaveable bowl as a result.

    You know, science is awesome!
