Home alone

OK. Today is Saturday. And I should be getting used to the routine by now. Yeah, by the time I got back to the house, everyone was gone. Wife's gone to her Sis's house and everyone else was nowhere to be seen.

And so, with nothing for lunch, I can say, I am going to have a great afternoon.
Being home alone is nothing new to me. When I was a bachelor, I was free to do whatever I wanted; from surfing the Internet to reading comics to playing the Playstation to just well, zone out on the DVDs. But now, its different. Right on automatic, the first thing was to clear/pick-up the clothes, clear the floor of sharp food debris, etc. and also, make sure there is enough ice cubes & fresh boiled water for the night.

Once that is done, it was time to raid the fridge and the kitchen for raw material. And so, Ladies and Gentlemen, its time for one of my famous University bachelor recipes, or in other words, spontaneous cooking.
Step one:
1) Look for some instant noodles and make sure you read their expiry dates. Any noodle not in their best colour or have tints of moudly green is not good for eating.
2) Using the palm of your hand, press against your stomach. If it feels like there is a great void, then you'd have to get two packs of instant noodles. But if your butt feels painful instead, this means you have some unfinished business at the toilet.
3) Fill a pot about 3/4 full of water, and bring it to boil. Oh, you can cover it with a lid to make it boil faster too.
4) Open the two packets of noodles and dump them into the pot. It does not matter if the noodles are going to be chicken flavoured or curried lamd chops as the flavourings are inside the small silver packs which, you can keep or store for other occasions.

Step two: 1) Put in two teaspoon-full of chicken stock plus some pepper and stir
2) Put in an egg as well but make sure you discard the shells first.
3) Stir everything and let it boil a bit until you either smell something burning or noticed the soups all disappeared.
4) Quickly raid the fridge for some crispy vegetables. Or you can cut some onions instead. If you spot some meat in there, make sure its cooked as at this stage, there is not enough time to cook anything else apart from burnt noodles.
Step three:
1) Find a suitable dish which is deep enough to store some of the soup that has not been boiled off. You can now add some garnish such as crispy crackers, corn flakes, tuna flakes, chocolates or just plain old prawn chili sauce. I would not advise on putting ice-cream at this stage though.
2) Add even more chili sauce.
3) In case you spot some different chilic sauce, you can also add them in.

Ohh......... God! This is my sixth time to the toilet and my bung hole hurts!
