A Bowl of Noodles

There's a post of a bowl of noodles that made a guy sick. They look so innocent, like a moment of Zen. But the post notes how "ironic" it was that he took time to take a picture of this exact bowl of noodles. To which I would say -- depending on how often he takes pictures of food before eating it -- that is weird. The "bug in the soup" made him sick for the next four days.

I would probably never have a bowl of noodles like that again. Not as a superstition, but because of a lack of appetite. But if you ever have a hangover and want to do something about it, they suggest the "hair of the dog that bit you." So the cure might to eat more noodles. At least, you're showing who's the boss when it comes to food -- you or the bug.

But who am I to talk? I haven't had Pizza Hut taco pizza for 25-30 years because our whole family got sick on it one time. Came home, as I recall, and got totally sick. So ever since, no more. We were at Pizza Hut the other day, for the buffet, and we thought it was a taco pizza just put out -- which would be no go -- but it was something else, so that was OK.
