For the first page of my grand ramen book, I guess I should start with just writing about the state of my mind while embarking on this quest. This is going to be a difficult journey since I am attempting to make the first good book on ramen. There are many books out there that talks about ramen, but there are very few books out there that actually explain the process thoroughly. Probably the best one out there is Ivan Ramen. However this book is 85% about his journey and 15% about how to make ramen. The book is very enlightening, but only scratches the tip of the iceberg. I have been chiseling away at this iceberg of ramen with my two hands and I feel like I am starting to get through.

I am not going to lie, I have been skimping on my posts. I have had a big year moving from San Francisco to back home in Sacramento and starting a new job with plenty of new projects. But hey, I can't complain living with my parents. I can save some money by not paying that San Francisco rent and I have a hot meal ready for my when I come home from work. The downside is that my parents don't give me a chance to cook in the kitchen and I have gotten lazy.  I am still making ramen but not as often as I would like.

This is all going to change. Well I'll milk living at home a little longer... but I will be upping my ramen research especially since I have decided to write a ramen book.
