Cooking/Preparing a decent meal
I was hungry. I remembered I had a chilli crab instant cup in the drawer. I had bought it rather long ago but I doubt it had expired. I tore open the packaging and lifted the lid. This pungent oily smell filled my nostrils. I figured since the noodles was deep fried and sealed air tight, it was normal. I boiled some water and poured it over. The smell lingered still. I tried to ignore it, focusing on my hunger. After 5 minutes, I 'indulged' in it. It had a real bad oily taste, the noodles. I thought I could stand it, thinking it was more important to satisfy my 'hunger'. I swallowed a second mouthful of it. I could not take the stench. I threw it away. Desperate for some (comfort) food. I opened the drawer once more and made a quick sweep at my instant noodle stocks. Ah! This microwaveable carbonara that Seowchian had given me from her trip to Korea. The packaging looked really exquisite, and the photo of the carbonra, tempting. I glanced at my oven. It was not the usual microwave oven that you can find at the 7-11 stores. I wondered if it would still heat up the carbonara. There was an alternative, as I read the instructions on the packaging. I can boil the sauce and then the noodles. Too much trouble for something supposedly instant. I plonked it into the oven and read the korean instructions on the packaging. 30 (korean words that I don't understand). 30 minutes would be too outrageous, 30 seconds seems inadequate. My oven would take 30 seconds to warm up, how could it heat up the carbonara for consumption? I turned the timer to 10 minutes, more than enough I thought to myself. I went back to my Hunger Games. After 3minutes or so, I smelled something. Shit, so fast? I jumped up excitedly, sprinting to the kitchen. The plastic container was distorted. Fuck. I had forgotten to transfer it onto a microwaveable plate. I tasted the carbonara. The spaghetti was still hard, uncooked. The sauce was actually delicious. No way I could eat it. I threw it down the rubbish chute, again, and I gave up preparing food to eat.
