I had a bowl of noodles today - not ramen, but saimin. Saimin is a Hawaiian dish that you're unlikely to find anywhere else on this planet. I had mine with won tons AKA, Chinese dumplings. This was served with barbecue sticks and a side of Chinese mustard mixed with shoyu. This, along with a plastic cup of ice water has been served countless times on this rock. It's the perfect meal to eat with your favorite girl late at night. Who cares that you're eating this in some hole in the wall with nasty fluorescent lighting, for at that small moment in time, all is right in the world.

If this was forty years ago, we might very well be eating saimin right now, around midnight. These days, it's still great to eat saimin with my favorite girl although we'll eat at a time that better suits our constitutions, around 5 PM. OTOH, time is pretty much irrelevant when eating a perfectly prepared bowl of noodles that's exactly the same as it ever was in a hole in the wall with wooden benches and Formica tables and worn linoleum. For all I know, it could be 1969.
