@monorail @The_T i mean i dont know how many other senators i could name from 2008.

@pastelsinmysky thank you! i’m hoping it still goes smoothly also

i’m glad your visit was good! domestic downtime is lovely 💖and i’m sure the busy parts were fun too :)

@pastelsinmysky we moved so now i am very tired (technically we are still moving, in that we havent given the keys to the apartment back until tomorrow)

how was the visit?

@Forestofglory ooh that looks interesting, thanks!

@Forestofglory happy early birthday!

@kittyc @Forestofglory investigation (reading dubiously sourced internet recipes) reveals a range of recommendations from “boil 1 min” to “rinse in hot water” to chucking straight in the pan depending on how thin the noodle is, how wet the sauce is and how firm one wants the noodle, yeah. so i suppose water is involved in the cooking process in some capacity 😂

@kittyc @Forestofglory yeah no i have made european egg pasta which gets boiled! these are much thinner and generally aiming for a firmer final texture though

@kittyc @Forestofglory i could be wrong! but i had thought they only needed to be boiled/soaked if they’d been dried instead of prepared fresh

@kittyc @Forestofglory ramen noodles i think get dried to dehydrate and then boiled to rehydrate which i’ll accept as a noodle, but i’m unsure if i’ll accept chow mein noodles (fried only)—despite the name they feel like a different category to me

@seanpatrickphd @Forestofglory so you don’t include anything made fresh in your noodle ontology?

@Forestofglory my inclination was to say yes it must be boiled but those are admittedly quite noodle like so now i’m undecided
