Had a long day and accidentally forgot to add water to my microwavable ramen. Basically, it was the kind that comes in a cardboard bowl and you just have to add water and put in the microwave for 4 minutes. So yeah, I basically put cardboard and uncooked noodles in the microwave for 4 minutes.

To make things worse, I use a plastic microwave cover lid (highly recommend by the way) which is supposed to prevent your food from splattering on the walls of the microwave. Mine ended up melting a fusing unto my ramen bowl. I’m gonna add pictures of this on my profile cause it’s hard to explain lol

I don’t think an actual fire happened, it just was so hot the plastic melted. To make things worse, this was the last ramen left so I’m going to bed hungry.

TL;DR: almost set my house on fire because I didn’t add water to my ramen.
