After waking up to the awful news about my country yesterday, I knew I would be leaving work early. I could not stand being around people, especially people I don't know well enough to know their voting history. It's horrible knowing that I share a country with so many morally bankrupt and weak-minded people. I had so little faith in my country after 2016 and I have lost even more this week.
I'm glad I skipped out on work early and called a few loved ones when I got home. I reached for some comfort food I was looking forward to trying. This ramen is marketed as a healthier, high-protein, vegan version of the traditional cheap comfort food. Of course making something healthier and high in protein often does unfortunately bump up the price a bit. I bought these a few weeks ago, so I forget how much I paid for them, but it must not have been terribly high. The noodles had an odd texture since they're packed with pea protein. After a few bites I was able to get past it. The broth flavor was nice but nothing too amazing. I added some red pepper flakes and Trader Joe's furikake seasoning to jazz it up more. It wasn't incredible, but it's a nice ramen and it kept me full until dinner.
