I've never pretended to be a culinary genius, or indeed at all proficient in the kitchen. I like ready meals, and quite often I don't manage to cook those properly either. However, today I accidentally inhaled chicken flavoured powder from one of those sachets you put in supernoodles when I opened it with overmuch elan, a little bit too close to my nose. I didn't think I was quite that incompetent. Fortunately, it was the 15p knock-off instead of the 8p one, so it was slightly less gritty a mishap than might otherwise have been. Equally happily, the brand is still too cheap to have little dried flakes of fake vegetables, so there aren't dramatically rehydrated peas in my nostril. I am quite proud of the fact that, even in this terribly confusing moment, with the surprise of the pain and the humiliation of ineptitude creeping over me, I managed to turn my head away from the pan of noodles before I sneezed it out. Oh yeah. No naturally occurring substances in my lunch. The noodles tasted rather nice. Perhaps they felt more chickeny because of the chemicals welded to my cilia.

Also: this is my 1000th entry.

Happy 1000th entry!

I am cruelly amused by your traumatic pot noodle story, for which I apologise. You coped with it admirably. Well done.I actually think it would be novel and interesting to sneeze out peas the presence of which was not previously expected. You'd be a sort of pea rehydrating plant, in effect. But with very little opportunity for resale.

Thank you. I think a pea rehydrating plant is a good concept. It probably leads to a more flavoursome pea than mere water.

Thanl you. Had it happened to anyone else, I would be rolling in the aisles, possibly going to a theatre for that very purpose.

Imagine if I'd inhaled a fake pea and then had a nap to recover from the trauma, and then while I slept it swelled and I had no idea what had happened when I woke up? THe visit to the doctor might be a little bit awful, I think,

I add peanut butter to packet noodles and put grated cheese on top, for the full heart-attack-on-a-plate effect and also to make it feel more like cooking.

I eat noodlespurely because I don't have to do anything else to them and they're so simple. Or so I thought...

I don't know how that constitutes winning when you don't actually like London and hate the tube. I win anyway because I'm going to see Mrs Henderson Presents tonight.

That's rather a cruel thing to tell me. Oh well, everyone else on my secret hate filter says they love me more than you, more than anything, more than life itself. Possibly more than the internet.

We have this thing called google? Third entry down, dude. AS WELL YOU KNOW.

xx - TWICE as many as you and therefore I win.
