Adding my two cents to the ramen thing (since I know it starts to grate after a while), I know I've made it fried before.. just use a cup or a little less of water (enough that the noodles are soft and use up all the water, I prefer my noodles a bit less cooked), fry with some chopped up cabbage or other vegetables and use the sauce packet; or try with worcesershire sauce/teriyaki sauce and a little brown sugar, tastes more or less like yakisoba. Also, this may sound gross, but try the chili kind at least once without the water; mix half the sauce packet with some mayo or sour cream, most people I know like it :/

Wait for it to thicken and be almost cook, put it under the grill and cook the top. Add a salad, few peppers and that's a good lunch.
Aww but flipping it and it staying in one piece is awesome :(
otherwise it turns into cheesy hammy scrambled egg.

My spaghetti sauce recipe makes (for me) eight servings. That would be more or less based on your personal preferences for sauce amounts.

If you need cheap sweets...
Get a jug of oil, cheapie vegetable oil works fine.
Get some sugar, can be powdered or granulated or even the big chunky stuff...long as its yummy! (don't think fake sweetener packets would do, but you could try!)
Get a pack of biscuits in a tube (tinned biscuits, canned biscuits, whatever you wanna call them...the cheap store brand ones are perfect)
put oil in a pan, about 2.5 to 3 inches deep, a smallish sauce pan will work, doesn't need to be a big 'un. Heat it up to medium-high heat.
toss in 1-3 biscuits depending on your pan size..they need to be able to float by themselves and not be crowded. Let em fry and turn them when they start to puff and turn golden, do NOT let them over cook...you want a nice golden brown tint. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and set them on a plate to dry/cool. Don't try to eat them straight out of the pan...the insides will still be goo when you lift them out and they will cook the inside while they sit...NO GRABSIES!
Once you've cooked however many you want, roll them in a plate that's dusted with the sugar to coat them up.
Enjoy homemade cheater donuts.
They work fine cooking a whole tin then putting them in a bowl in the fridge and microwave them for 30 sec to reheat.
You can also punch a hole in the middle if you want it to look like a normal donut but I have never cared what it looked like...just how it tasted.
You can use some of the grease from this in a frying pan and fry a sliced apple then toss a little of the leftover sugar on em. Very sweet but satisfying desert or breakfast :)

Is that like maltomeal?
Anyway, oatmeal is another cheapie if you can tolerate it with sugar only. Milk is pretty steep and so is butter but sugar isn't that bad.
