Momofuku Ando 1910-2007



Momofuku Ando, the inventor of instant Ramen noodles, died of a heart attack in Japan on Saturday, January 6th.

In appreciation for your tasty, yet inexpensive dish, I won't make a gratuitous joke about your name ;-)

  4. Nanc-My daughter would live on the cheese ones with a salad or apple!
    I'm trying to use up some hurricane supplies, so this post has kicked in my creativity, how's this? Canned chicken, ramen noodles, veggies and curry?
    Cube-The cup one's are good too, I like the roasted chicken myself. My son loooooooves the chile chicken!
    Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

  5. tmw: Sounds good. We are well-stocked
    with hurricane supplies, too. The MRE's are really delicious now & self-heating. Amazing.

  6. They are fantastic, though high on the sodium.

    They are the perfect quick meal for the kids; all three of mine looove them drained, with a pinch of the seasoning sprinkled on top. (Little wierdos. LOL!)

    Cube: The cube kind come in larger cubes of six and twelve. ;)

  8. i like mine with butter and cayenne, brooke!

  9. brooke: high sodium & high fat. I used to like them better when they were baked & the fat content was much lower.

    Basically though, I love all things cubical ;-)
