You'd think I'd know more about this, what with having an herb name...
Don't worry if you don't get both parts of the joke in the icon, it's a multi-tiered joke of nerdiness.
The other day I tried to spruce up the instant ramen we made after getting back from Boston with mixed results. I threw these things together in my attempt of Rosemary Style cheap-ass Ramen, which includes:
Result was edible but a bit bland, until we thought to add a bit of soy sauce to it. Not a very good idea, might try more sesame oil next time for flavor. I also wondered if perhaps I should have tried an egg (insert "Mother and Child reunion" joke here) or something similar.
And in case people are wondering, my skills with food are mostly limited to brownies and the like and heating stuff up, though I can cook breakfast (fried eggs, bacon, english muffins etc) fairly competently. I've been trying to teach myself this stuff in preparation for going off to college, but the results have been a bit... interesting, to say the least.
One of the funniest parts of Easter was actually Dad instructing me how to chop vegetables for a salad, since I didn't know which way to cut them. I thought it was a fairly good salad in the end considering I kept having to be reminded to wash the vegetables, but you have to start somewhere. ^_^;

- 1 packet instant ramen noodles, chicken flavor
- 2 dozen approximately one inch diameter cubes of tofu we have left over, browned in some sesame oil
- About a handful of peas to add some color
- A sprig of parsley
