Stopped by my local discount supermarket.
Their stock of ramen has dropped significantly over the past week. So, with the apparent ramen shortage and increased prices elsewhere, I decided to buy 4 -24 pk cases of the stuff for just $7.99 each; less than 1/2 the cost of the case that I just bought on Amazon for $17.
Now have 2.5 cases of shrimp, 2 cases of beef & 1 case of lime/chili/shrimp which should last me for awhile.
Never tasted the lime/chilli/shrimp before. Cooked a package for lunch. Not much lime flavor. Mostly tastes like a spicy shrimp which is ok, since I always add some hot sauce/chilli to my plain shrimp ramen anyway. BTW, the case of shrimp was the only one there.
The supermarket also just started its pre-TG turkey sale. Buy $25 worth of groceries and you can buy a turkey for 49 cents/#. So, I bought this 18#er for just under $9 (or about $27 off retail). I ususally buy 2 b4 TG. Don't have any room in the freezer right now, so I'm going to have to roast/eat it pretty quick.

It's not for everyone but if you Southern/Asian food that makes use of EVERY part of the pig, then you'll like the pig tail stew that I made yesterday.
The hardest part is to find a place that sells pig tails. I buy them at a Filipino market near me. They use to sell it for 99 cents/# but then realized they were giving it away and started charging $3+/#. Still a cheap dish to make.
Just chop about 3# of pig tails into 1-1.5" pieces (or have your butcher do it). Parboil the tail pieces in a BIG pot of water, skim the scum off and set aside the tails.
In the same pot add a cup or 2 of black eyed peas to the water along with 5-6 dried red plums (that you can get at the Asian market) and then boil til the black eyed peas/plums have disintegrated. Return the tail pieces to the pot and cook until the pig tails are tender. About 2 hours. Add water as needed.
Remove the cooked tail pieces and add another 1 cup (or 2) of black eyed peas and another 5-6 dried red plums and cook til tender. And salt to talste. This is what the beans should look like when it's done.
Return as many pieces of the pig tails that you want to eat to the beans to reheat. Serve the pig tails over rice and beans.
If you like pork belly, you'll like this too. The pork fat is as soft as butter and the meat (yes, there's meat) is extremely tender.
Sometimes I skip the rice and just eat the tails and beans straight out of the pot. Yum!

All of the prior Ramen talk got me in the mood, so tonight I pulled some together.
I used the Shin Black as the base, then added: frozen shrimp, a spoonful of miso paste, Sriracha, sesame oil, eggs, some leftover chicken, Napa cabbage, garlic, green and white onions, and some Bonito flakes. When finished, I dusted liberally with some togarashi and furikake.
Certainly not as good as a restaurant, but about as good as I can make it out of a packet.

Brisket loaded within. Was ridiculous.
Was tonites leftovers. Not usually for leftover fries but the air fryer works miracles.
A runny egg over the top would of made it art. Next time.

Dayum. I'm still referencing this picture. Six hours later.

It'd take me six hours to eat it.
