  • I write to you all from the parents table.

    It began lame as hell. I was a single man with a married brother who had a young child. I was clearly there to keep them company.

    Later, there I was with my own child. At a table of people I didn’t know with children. Next to the goddamn speaker.

    Then, I’m happy to report, I was at one of my favorite cousins weddings. I was there with her oldest brother and his child my kids age. And a bunch of other people with kids that age. And it was awesome. Finally.

    I submit the best table at a wedding is one that you really fit in with. Whatever commonality that may be.












  • There’s a ramen sauce that makes ramen soup I like. Add that to just the dry noodles they sell- not the packs of ramen- and it’s very economical and better quality.

    Anything works in ramen. If you have a freezer I’d suggest ham is a very very cheap protein to add if you can buy in a large size.

    Otherwise, sprouts are good and inexpensive. So are mushrooms. Turkey is cheap but in bulk like ham. If you’re aiming for less bulk chicken thighs are inexpensive and good in soups.

    If you want something like frozen broccoli try peas. Peas are great.

    If you brine your eggs in mirin and soy sauce they will work even better in the dish.
