deluxe pho & ramen

Saving log - 4$
Spending log - $7 lunch

I just didn't feel like the coffee and milk breakfast routine, so I broke it a bit, frugally. I just wanted a little bit of black coffee and my energy bar.

Cold and blustery at noon, so it was the perfect weather for deluxe spicy pho. Got the chicken pho, with chunks of pineapple and tomato. A quart of pleasure. If it had been any larger, I would have stripped and taken a bath in it.

Not quite ramen or cup of noodles. Even though there is enough salt to drive blood pressure through the roof, that didn't stop me from having a cup yesterday, toasting the inventor of instant ramen. I love them, but not all the time. Too bad instant ramen gives frugality a bad name - the noodles are often the college student's version of frugal. Many people still think that that's what a frugal person does - eat a lot of ramen noodles.

Things are slowly getting back to normal with the new hard drive. I still get an annoying flashing when the CPU is working hard. The wireless connection is a lot better, though. Go figure.

    hehehe, ramen rocks! I just wrote an entry about Ramen yesterday!

    I do agree with you about the amount of salt in a pack of Ramen and how we view ramen as the poor man's food.

    I love ramen, and could eat it constantly... not out of desperation or lack of funds, but because it's yummy! True about the salt, though. I only use half the flavor packet... cushions it a bit. Either way, happy lunching!

    We splurged last night too- a little. We ate at our local mexican restaurant- it was delicious.
