Last week I made a cabbage chicken salad for my Cornflakes group. It called for "seasoned" ramen noddles (like cup-a-noodles) but I was in a hurry and grab the wrong one. I went back today to Imahara's produce today to pick up the correct ingredients to make the salad again tonight. Well I couldn't find it on the shelf so I asked. They said that "seasoned" ramen can't be imported into the country anymore because it's made in China and has chicken-by-products in it. We can only guess what China would use as by-products. They said this was a good substitute. I know many college students lived on cup-of-noodles and some even ate it dry. This brand is made to eat like a cracker (guess someone figured out people liked eating dry ramen noodles) and is pretty good. I plan to put some bags in my kids stockings. Maybe it will remind them of the good old days. :)
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987

Why is the little girl on the package so sad?
