Seven Easy, Healthy, and Fun Recipes for Ramen Noodles
Prevention

I'm here today to give you tips and tricks for cooking the quintessential college food: ramen. Everyone always jokes, when you go off to college, that you'll be living off nothing but ramen (and maybe Easy Mac and Pop-Tarts, but I don't have recipes for those, sorry). Well, maybe living off ramen doesn't have to be such a bad thing. I'm not saying you should only eat ramen, but I am saying that when you do, there are plenty of easy and fun recipes to make it taste better and make it better for you. If you're ready to beat the saddening social stigma surrounding ramen's unhealthiness, read on!

Full Disclosure: None of these recipes are mine.

Before you start: Use this link to learn how to quickly and easily discard unnecessary starches and fat when cooking your typical grocery store ramen (skip to Step 2 in the article).

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
