  1. You know that there’s a dish made just for ramen noodles, right? Pop them in, add water and pop them in the microwave.

  2.  @veikkohaapamaki  Walmart should have them. I’ve had one for years, mine spoiled me after I started using it. I paid four bucks, same as what I paid for a five cup coffee make that I use every day with loose tea. I cut corners with ramen noodles for speed and cost when I don’t want to cook, and my now my teapots just look pretty with other things on top of my cabinets.

  3. My “nice” Calphalon stovetop kettle sits to the side nowadays, unseen and - til now - forgotten about. Get over yourselves, everybody, but this ole gal uses a Walmart five cup coffee maker to make my tea from loose (I keep a vanilla bean snippet in that basket too to calm the tannins, and you use that til tea - or coffee - gets a bit bitter again. Yeah, in about two, three minutes I’m on my first cup. And I add almost a full extra cup of water when two cups have run through (right quick) to make a total of six cups for my big ole 12-ounce cup. I use more energy putting all that together to get that first cup than that little $4 (yes indeedy, that’s $4, plus tax) coffee/tea maker has ever put out on a daily basis. Boiling water for anything else? I always did love to cook. And was always a wonderful cook. That takes time and planning, and waiting on boiling water sometimes is a part of that. If I get in a hurry for that tea though, I’ll get myself up three minutes early. Y’all enjoy those kettles.

  4. I like you, friend. And I miss a gas stove like you can’t believe. Patience is not only a virtue, it’s a daily necessity - and a dependable, absolute joy.
