Every day, I’m trying to get more and more people involved in this website, whether through comments or recommendations, criticisms or donations. So I’m going to go out on a limb and ask if some of you could help out. If there’s a review or particular page or just the whole site you enjoy, talk about it on Facebook or Twitter or Reddit. StumbleUpon (www.stumbleupon.com) is a great spot to thumbs up pages and write reviews – This month a ton of people checked out the site’s recipes pages because someone wrote a one-line review on StumbleUpon! ...see full post

Here’s the newest, latest and greatest noodle timer. Just hit play when you add water to your cup noodle or drop your noodle block in the pot and when the somewhat annoying music is over, you may calmly enter a zen state and enjoy some instant noodles. ...see full post

I’ve been wondering something for awhile: is the number of reviews I have
listed exactly accurate? The issue was that there were a few re-reviews
and also that I hadn’t numbered reviews done before #200, so it was a somewhat
imprecise ‘guesstimate.’ Well, the wondering about it is over and the result
is that I had shorted myself on counting eight reviews! What I did was
added numbers to the titles of the reviews starting at the first until
I got to about #120 and then started at the #199th review and went backward
in hopes of them meeting at the middle. So the ones that ended up between
where #117 and #118 should have met are these, which I have numbered up
from the current last review. So the next review will be #541. Here’s the
links to the ones that were renumbered. ...see full post

Thought I would do a news update since it’s been quite a while. So to start with, I send out stickers to those who are kind enough to send me donations of noodles that I can’t get here.
