Chinese spicy beef noodles (niuroumian牛肉面) in Sichuan and Chongqing area

I wrote 300 glyphs for 300 blessings only to not use it in my artwork but I spent so long on these that if I don’t post them somewhere I will die

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

so when food is too salty we might say "打死卖盐的" basically meaning "did you beat the salt merchant to death" but one time in an attempt to be a little polite and a little funny to the chef (my mother) i said "……是不是又跟卖盐的有矛盾了" meaning "are you... having a dispute with the salt merchant again" and now it's a whole thing in my family

anyway point being there has been another altercation with the salt merchant

The dragon & the fairy (vietnamese creation myth) “Lạc Long Quân, the son of a mountain god and a water dragon, was given the land of Lac Viet by his parents. He built two palaces, one in the mountains and one in the ocean. Later he fell in love with a beautiful fairy, Âu Cơ, and transformed himself into a handsome young man to win her over. They married, and a year later, she laid a hundred eggs that hatched into human babies that quickly matured into adults. Unfortunately, Lạc Long Quân remained in his water palace while Âu Cơ lived on land. She became lonely and pined for her homeland, so much so that she took her hundred children to visit it. It became obvious that the couple should separate. They agreed that half the children would go with their father to the land next to the ocean, and the others would follow their mother to the mountains, thus creating the Vietnamese race – the dragon and the fairy’s grandchildren.” (x)

do you ever see something so terrifying that you just…have to buy it?

secondbeatsongs

honest-to-god, this smells like a pumpkin spice latte

it smells sweet

why does it smell sweet

secondbeatsongs

this smells…horrifying

it smells like something that should not be consumed by humans. it smells like a jack-o-lantern that’s rotted after four days on the front porch

and it tastes…it tastes…

so, there are good ways to make something pumpkin-flavored, around this time of year. pumpkin spice is fine in a latte or dessert, but for pasta or soup, you go savory - onion, garlic, salt and pepper, and you’ve got yourself a decent meal!

but this…

I don’t know if I can finish eating this. I was barely able to start eating it, because the smell is so nauseating, putting it in my mouth feels wrong.

it’s salty, but also horribly sweet, and tastes strongly of cinnamon and nutmeg. when you take a bite, at first it tastes like nothing - but a few chews in, you can feel the awful sticky-sweet spice residue taking up residence in your mouth.

I hate this!

what malicious focus group told nissin that this was a good idea? how many people tried this product and thought it was good enough to put on shelves?

why does it have sugar, brown sugar, and sucralose in it? wasn’t one enough, you sick bastards?

-100/10. worst thing I’ve eaten this year. and that’s saying something, because I eat a lot of garbage.

secondbeatsongs

no. no way.

fuck everything about this

if they wanted it to be a dessert, why did they make it salty! why did they add a small amount of onion and garlic, and turmeric, and paprika!

a dessert ramen, I could have handled! but this was a normal ramen, with sugar and artificial sweetener added!

what the fuck

secondbeatsongs

let no one say I never make sacrifices for my art

secondbeatsongs

so, the worst part of this

the absolute worst part

is that the whipped cream actually improves the taste and texture significantly

is it good now? absolutely not

but is it borderline edible?

…fuck. I hate this. this is the darkest day of my life.

I can’t decide whether I’m relieved or disappointed that this is exclusive to the USA and not available in Japan. I’m tagging my favourite foodie, @shoku-and-awe, who’s attempted other weird pumpkin products in Tokyo.

PS: I’ve just noticed it’s Cup Noodle in Japan, but Cup Noodles in the USA. Noodles? Wrong. I demand one noodle only! ☆ﾟ°˖* ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

突 = to dash or move forward quickly; abruptly; suddenly; unexpectedly, protrude

It's all about things moving forward and unexpectedly with this one!

Random words that come to mind include unexpectedly or out of the blue 突然 (tūrán), as well as conflict 冲突 (chōngtū) or 突出 (tūchū), something that is prominent or that sticks out.

突发 (tū fā) is interesting as well — it means to break out or appear unexpectedly... like 疾病突发 (jí bìng tū fā), the outbreak of an illness.

It's also a cute onomatopeia for things that have a tapping sound or that chug along, like when your heart goes pit-a-pat (你的心突突地跳, nǐde xīn tūtū de tiào).

I’m probably behind the times because I really enjoy reading manga in paper/book format, but today I finally started a system for reading manga in Japanese online!

I’m using honto.jp . It has an app that makes your library of manga and books very organized, and the pages are very readable and easy to scroll. (I’m finding the tablet version a little better, just because it’s easier to read at that size.) However, you need to use the webpage (not the app) to find and download a lot of the content.

Right now they have a lot of volumes for free! I got the first three volumes of Chihayafuru, five volumes of Naruto, three volumes of Showa Rakugo, and a few others. I also got volume 1 of Promised Neverland, though it seems like it might only be free to read for the next 6 day’s before it disappears.

I found it fairly easy to sign up and use the site, but it is in Japanese. If anyone is interested, maybe I could do a walkthrough post later.
