muskrat_john: My friend Leon's Open letter to ABC. Please share. - http://muskrat-john.livejournal.com/264483...

Cult movie star Edward Woodward dies | Film | The Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/film...
v sad news, but he'd been very ill for a long time. A truly masterly actor.

I"m glad his ordeal is over, then. But I'll miss him. I may pull out my Crusade DVDs; his conversation with his son (who played Galen the Technomage) is priceless!
- LJF Wolffe
Was that Tim? If you find a url for that conversation I'd be interested in it (I had a teeny weeny part on The Lady Windermere's Fan on BBC that Tim starred in. Coincidentally I found the vids for it on Youtube - see Create It FF room).
- Isha (Marysia)
Galen was played by Peter Woodward -- who definitely inherited his father's voice. I'll look for YouTube -- and go watch you, too! Cool!
- LJF Wolffe
So sorry -- I can't find video. But it was the Crusade episode "The Long Road," if that helps at all.
- LJF Wolffe
Thanks LJF.

"Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, fork and spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scouts that he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he had violated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary was suspended and now faces 45 days in the district’s reform school."

I really like ramen. Of course, I have to spruce the living Beelzebub out of it with egg, peas, etc.

I wouldn't have gotten through college without these. So many late nights...

Actually, the ramen universe is vast. Lately, I have had thing for bowls of handmade wide noodle ramen, in a spicy Chinese black vinegar. It's so good. But Curry Ramen with a shimp tempura is not bad. Miso ramen is a good standby. Or I can always enjoy Tonakstu ramen which is a white pork sauce. Summer time we do a hiashi chuka, which is a cold ramen with tomatoes, ham, cucumber and egg...

BION, some people in upper income brackets have Ramen several times a week.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
Unfortunately for some of us poor Americans, the only ramen we know comes in plastic wrappers for cheap (when I was broke all the time, it was 10 pkgs/$1). Add to it your favorite/cheapest meat and/or veggies, and it was dinner. I'd love to sample real live ramen, but all I have available to me is the packaged stuff w/ too much fat & MSG. Ah, good times . . . 8-)
- LJF Wolffe
not all ramen is created equal. the upper income folks get the real deal, poor folks get the plastic ten cent stuff. probably the same in name only.
- Kamilah Gill
Very true, Kamilah -- but if it weren't for ramen & mac&cheese, I would have starved in my 20s! 8-)

Indian ramen is a little expensive from the Indian grocery stores than regular ramen is at the normal grocery store.... but it tastes so much better. Can't eat the normal stuff anymore.
- Wirehead
I must investigate this sriracha
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
i got some cheap ramen in my cupboard now. i also paid 20 bucks for some fancy ramen for dinner last night. i would eat more cheap ramen but i think my stomach has officially gone on strike from the stuff :-\
- Liz
I pretty much lived on that in my early 20's when I was poor and couldn't cook to save my soul! Ramen was one of the few things I couldn't screw up. Then one day I discovered I could add frozen Chinese veggies to it and was all excited because it meant I could have a dinner party! :-) (Thankfully, I have expanded my culinary repertoire since then...)

I think this is the meal of every poor college student. My old college diet consisted of Ramen, Macaroni & Cheeses, and Turkey burgers (they were cheap, like $5 for 20 patties).
- Bryan Lee
AIUI, ramen can be fresh noodles, but the instant kind is probably not as good for you, what with it being fried before packaging. I still like them, though, and stash a couple at work for backup meals.
- Andrew C
And instant noodles + kimchi + some real vegetables (leftovers, usually) + an egg = my go-to meal when I'm sick.
- Andrew C
Now I know what I'm going to have for lunch today. :) Seriously, though, I still want to go to an authentic Japanese ramen restaurant. The real stuff looks SO delicious.

Found some sriracha at Liquor Barn tonight. I do believe that's part of the tasty stuff that comes with my pho. Thanks!
