<\/p>\nI was tried, too tired to put into words. Sleeping for a week is not a physical possibility but that didn\u2019t stop me from wanted to attempt it.<\/p>\n
I had been awake for a couple of hours before my wife\u2019s feet hit the floor. For some uncanny reason I asked her if she wanted breakfast. Her morning meal usually consists of fruit or other eat-on-the-go item. She answered in the affirmative and decided on 30 more minutes of slumber.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The last month has been \u00fcber-busy. Neither of us has much time to shop, therefore the fridge is empty and the cupboards are bare. Breakfast for my beloved was a cipher. I had noodles and water. Tang mian \u6c64\u9762 is a traditional Chinese breakfast (tang = soup mian=noodles. There was little put in the dish. When served in a restaurant this peasant favorite is served with meat, greens and eggs.<\/p>\n
I had four slices of bacon and a partial bucket of KFC chicken. The eggs in my larder had gained sentience. I cracked four of them to discover strange colors and odors from the inside of each.<\/p>\n
Scratch the eggs.<\/p>\n
Making the soup I found no ginger in my kitchen, not even a dried and hairy nub. In the recesses of the icebox, hidden behind a package of Kraft cheese slices, a small piece of ginger revealed itself to me. It must have been fate. I was doing a nice thing and the Gods were rewarding my efforts.<\/p>\n
I added the noodles to the soup. There was precious little in the pot except for noodles and soup. A few pieces of fried bacon could be seen if you picked through the mess. It was not good enough, not for wo de lao po<\/em>.<\/p>\n I looked again into the fridge, for inspiration. The smiley visage of Colonel Sanders stared at me from a red bucket. Tuesday evening, after a few beverages I decided I wanted, (nay, needed) to eat the KFC family meal myself. I didn\u2019t succeed, hence the bucket in the fridge. I stared at that Kentucky gentleman and wondered, \u201cDare I?\u201d<\/p>\n Two pieces of chicken were stripped to the bone, the meat diced, and placed in the giant noodle bowls.<\/p>\n How did it taste?<\/p>\n Not as bad as you would think. Fusion cuisine is always interesting. I may look at copyrighting my recipe, just in case the multinational conglomerate controlled by Harlan Sander\u2019s ghost attempts to steal my idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fridge is empty and the cupboards are bare.
