You know what? The iPhone camera really sucks.

It took me a bit of Photoshop to clean it up (bring out the true color, etc), but can anyone guess what cereal I was eating?

Not as good as a restaurant, but it hits the spot. I highly recommend.

So at lunch today I stopped by my local 99 Ranch Market to stop and get some Miso Soup. I looked up a few recipes online and learned enough to know I don’t have enough of an idea of the ingredients to make it myself. The next obvious choice is instant method, in which the above purchase was… well… purchased.

Only on the way home did I notice that both Alcohol and MSG are part of the many ingredients. The MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate) being the one in extreme excess (820mg Sodium per serving), which Wikipedia states might cause “Chinese restaurant syndrome”.

Tonight I believe I will give this stuff a whirl… We will see how it goes.

Update: I actually found the recipe here; I haven’t tried it yet… so that’ll have to be a future update.

Copy and Pasted My 2 Favorite Below… because I don’t trust the web over time…

 ______________________________________

Borg Sphere:

• 6 parts vodka
• 4 parts white rum (i.e. Bacardi Superior or any other non-flavored clear rum)
• 4 parts melon liqueur (Midori is the most common brand but there are others)
• 2 parts gin
• sweet & sour mix (common bar mixer found in any store)
• Sprite (can also use 7up or Sierra Mist)

Mix the alcohol in a pitcher or other container, pour out 10 oz into a bowl, add about 15 oz sweet & sour mix and about 15 oz sprite, food-grade dry ice for that smoking effect and also some regular ice.

Warp Core Breach:

Here is the recipe for the Warp Core Breach.

• 6 parts Bacardi Superior (or any white, clear, cheap rum out there)
• 4 parts Bacardi Limon (or any lemon rum you can find)
• 2 Parts Bacardi Select (Meyers Dark rum also works, or whatever dark rum your store has)
• 2 parts Bacardi Spice (Captain Morgans also works, but any spice rum will do)
• 2 parts Dekuyper Lucious Raspberry Rush (formerly known as Razzmatazz, this is the most important part, other Raspberry liqueurs don’t seem to work)
• 1 part Bacardi 151 (any 151 proof rum will do, since they all seem to taste like gasoline by themselves)
• 30 oz (1.5 bottles) Sobe Power (finding Aceorla/passion berry juice is too hard to find so just use Sobe Power, besides, the caffeine in the Sobe Power ads an extra kick to the drink) (Can be substituted for equal parts cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and orange juice)

Mix the alcohol, pour out 10 oz into a bowl, add the 30 oz of Sobe Power, and food-grade dry ice.
