I also drew inspiration from a Korean Youtuber<\/a> for Shin Ramyun hacks<\/a> with milk or as fried noodles, and from Serious Eats<\/a> for cup noodle fried rice<\/a>.\u00a0 Nissin’s curry-flavored cup noodles<\/a> was a particularly good option, but the unexpected peanut powder might have contributed to our toddler’s mild wheezing at bedtime. My post-doc Sook brought us authentic Shin ramyun from Korea, although my comparison taste test with the American version found the difference to be more subtle than previously reported<\/a>. On weekends, we continue our quest to entertain Westley at home. He was very excited with the Labo VR blaster<\/a>, but the gadget didn’t quite fit his proportions. He also liked swallowing shy guys and shooting piranha plants in Yoshi’s Crafted World<\/a>, although he’s still working on his eye-hand coordination. Fortunately for us, he liked Todo Math<\/a> enough for us to pay the subscription fee, so at least we could sneak in some education between his alphabet work books from Dollar Tree<\/a>. The tablet also keeps him entertained during times when my wife and I were both occupied with Zoom<\/a> meetings. Last weekend, I attended the virtual ASRS meeting<\/a>, and the experience was less than satisfactory without the usual fanfare and networking of in-person meetings, as I alluded to in my op-ed piece<\/a>. I hope to find better ways to adapt to this new normal.<\/p>\n\n\n
