It’s time to be honest. Our family might have a problem.

We are the Warne-McGraw Family, and we are Japanese Ramen addicts.

So far, we have sought out ramen for a meal no less than 6 times in about 11 days. One of our favorite Ramen chains is Ichiran. We love the private booths so no one else observes as you slurp your noodles and nearly anonymously order noodle refills. It is introvert eating heaven!

And, during our latest collective Ramen-fix, we composed Haikus. Because, when you are a worldschooler, you don’t miss great opportunities to teach cultural poetry forms while experiencing cultural foods.

** Bonus points if you can find the hiding Hope in this pic!**

According to KidZone http://www.kidzone.ws/poetry/haiku.htm

“Haiku” is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.”

Won’t you join us? Send us a comment with your Haiku for Ramen or your favorite bowl of soup. We can’t wait to wax poetic with you!

 

 

But it is Nicole’s unique passion for Tonkatsu Ramen that is probably most concerning. Rich pork bone broth, light oiliness, medium firm noodles, half a serving of red pepper, plus a soft boiled salted egg? Yes, please!!
