Remember high school? I'm watching You Drive Me Crazy right now.  Who doesn't love Melissa Joan Hart and a young, sexy Adrian Grenier? It really brings me back to basketball games, not having a date to the dance until the last moment, the confusing labyrinthine drama of teenage girldom. Of course the sexiest guy in my grade looked like Adrian's ugly half brother (no offense! that's still hot! come on, it's Adrian. Grenier.).

Either way, one thing I miss about high school, and then college is fake noodles. By fake, I mean in a bag, or a Styrofoam cup. Cup noodle, ramen... that stuff if fantastic.

Good thing Martha can provide an adult update: Chinese Noodles with Sesame Dressing. It was a bit lime-y for my taste, but still filling and fast. I have to stay I still prefer the amazing chicken powder that comes with.
