Tamales al la Ramen

Please don't do this. Ever. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, well the dish in question is the recipe I'm about to reveal to you. Was I drunk when I attempted this? Definately. Did that abate the lingering tastes that follow me to this very blog post? Unfortunately no. I reproduce the recipe here as a warning. If you ever find yourself following this arrangement, stop, shudder, and throw it all away. (Unless you're cooking for Chet. I hope Chet eats this til the day he dies. I hate you Chet.)

1. Pan fry the tamales. The approach is similar to deep frying, the key difference being that instead of a pot full of vegetable oil, you are using an entire stick of butter in a pan, because it doesn't matter how fat you get because Diana is never coming back.
2. boil water for the Ramen. Making Ramen takes approximately 3 minutes, which coincidentally is also the amount of time you can pan fry tamales before giving up and realizing that they aren't going to look any more appetizing.
3. Drain the noodles and place them on a plate, then remove the tamales from the pan and mix them in with the noodles.
4. If you can get halfway through eating this, you are far more intoxicated than I was.
5. Throw the whole thing away and drunk dial Diana. If Chet picks up, hang up quickly and cry to yourself.

The result? I really don't want to talk about it.
