Ramendan!
Yesterday was our birthday celebration for hidaman, who is now officially "old" at 30. The theme for the evening? "Ramen-dan"; all our dishes had to involve ramen in some way, shape or form. So, what was on the menu? evildennis provided a ramen-crusted Italian chicken, served on a bed of ramen noodles. katzchen brought a Thai noodle salad. the_z brought lettuce wraps with ramen noodles replacing the normal rice noodles. Finally, tim_almasy and xvolph brought various pre-packaged ramen. :)
Oh, and we also brought a cake. the_z's mom created a cake that was theme-appropriate. :)
But you can't have cake without ice cream, and that's when the night's biggest surprise came out - evildennis had gone to our local micro-creamery and gotten ramen ice cream made. Two varieties - one with noodles, and one with the flavor packet. Apparently, eating both together actually worked somehow, but I wasn't brave enough to try the flavor packet type.
Happy birthday, hidaman - a great time was had by all!
