Umm... (laughter), what did Reagan say when the Challenger exploded?
The Taste Buddees have returned from a year long hiatus! And BOY have we been hungry! Two or three days ago, the Buddees (your BUDDEES) took an excursion to a nearby/new Pho restaurant called "Pho Zaika". We were hungry for a brothy noodle and we left full of brothy noodle. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
While at the restaurant, the Buddees ruminated on the fact that rice noodles (an integral component of Pho) were dehydrated... likening them to astronaut food, which caused the Buddees to laugh and laugh! Then, we were reminded of "Tang", the "Michael Collins Kool-Aid", which is the favorite drink of spacemen and women.
Can you imagine! The Buddees slurping delicious Vietnamese multi-cuisine, thinking of TANG? Haha!
Then: an idea. It was as crazy as the moon landing, but not as crazy because we have two pocket computers smarter than those bullshit old computers those stinky astronauts were clacking on.
HOT TANG FUH.
It's so simple! How has no one thought of it before? The citrusy tang of "Tang" and the hot steamy comfort of a bowl of Pho...
...Pho-tastic!
We assembled our ingredients: "Tang", one 10 pc BK nug pack, one 4 pc BK nug pack, one bag of Trolli Evil Twins, one package of rice noodles, and one bag of Doritos Jacked 3D Jalapeno Pepper Jacks (described as "MEH" by junkfoodguy.com).
AND WE'RE OFFFFFF!
Have you ever wondered what the astronauts were thinking about as the boosters fired underneath them?
Launching them into space?
The Buddees (your Buddees) frequently ponder these questions: Why are we here? Do astronauts ever get sad while in space? Is the constantly renewed act distinct from my being? Ughghh, WE DUNNO! We just know that we're two hungry guys with an appetite for PHO-UN! (Fun)
That being said, we had to work with ratios: enough HOT TANG to cover the rice noodles.
This was actually too few noodles, in our opinion, so when you recreate this recipe, add more! Hindsight is always twenty-twenty! Shouts out to David Muir!
Twenty-twenty is on Friday nights at 9:00.
If you look closely, that IS a BK nug dropping at 9.8m/s^2 into the dry Pho bowl.
Gravity is 9.8m/s^2! Shouts out to Isaac Newton!
Be careful! It's hot!
Whoooooooa!
We knew this "Tang" was going to be hot, but we didn't know that it was going to be THIS HOT.
Whew!
You can see, here, that the HOT "TANG" has saturated the BK nugs and they've made their way to the tippy top. But don't scoop 'em up yet! That rice needs to cook, baby!
Say, isn't it getting close to Happy Hour?
No, dufus, that's a timer! For 7 minutes!
The best part of making "HOT TANG PHO" is drinking a hot cup of broth with your best friend! MMMMmmm!
Here, you can see how the HOT TANG PHO has permeated the rice noodles, giving them the color of real life Italiano Spa-ghetty.
We opened the bag of Doritos JACKED 3Ds Jalapeno Pepper Jacks and were less than impressed. Hopefully TANG PHO will speak for itself!
Oh, but who do we have here?
TOUCHDOWN! Put down those pencils! Time to eat!
Garnish with basil.
Like the lunar recovery modules landing!
It's hard to wait when you're so hungry!
But we managed to get by!
