Web templates are nothing but pre-designed templates around which one can easily input the website content and get his website up and running in no time. Isn't that pretty easy to do? You don't have to run around designing web pages for your site and can simply explore the many web templates which are designed keeping many requirements. The fascination for these templates has caught on like fire and the internet is flooded with websites based on these website templates.

Everything is taken care of these days while designing templates. You don't have to worry if your targeted industry is travel, hospitality, IT, Automobile or Entertainment. There are web templates available to even take care of industry-specific requirements.

The options are a plenty such as HTML templates, , dreamweaver web templates, flash intro pages, etc. However, the Drupal web templates are what got me excited recently. Drupal, is a leading open-source platform upon which many websites are being constructed today. Drupal provides immense flexibility to the end-user and also provides high levels of scalability.

Long ago while implementing a Drupal project I got an opportunity to explore the Drupal website templates in detail for the first time and boy I was impressed with the range of templates that I could utilize for a travel oriented website. The templates were free, neat, colorful and easy to install and more over the choice of templates was huge. We finally got what we were looking for and I must tell you I was utterly impressed with the end product. It has been 5 years since that time and I am still a staunch supporter of Drupal web templates and they have never let me down for my varying kinds of requirements. I must put on record great contributions from the ever-participative and enthusiastic community of Drupal contributors.

What are Ramen Noodles

Ramen noodles are a Japanese noodle dish that originated from Chinese . The Chinese dish is la mien or hand pulled noodles. Ramen is inexpensive to purchase but doesn't always tastes as good as it could. Home made ramen noodles are easy to make with a little effort and taste just as good as their Chinese counterparts.

The Ramen Noodle

The ramen noodle is a cut noodle rather than a pulled noodle. This makes it very easy to make either at home or in a dorm room. When made with soup ramen can be very tasty and nutritious.

The Ingredients - 3/4 cups of flour - 1 egg - 1 tablespoon of water - sharp knife

Making the Dough

First mix the water and egg in a cup with a fork. Make a volcano out of the dough and add the egg and water to the middle. Mix and then kneed the dough together until it forms a ball and no dough sticks to your hand. This will take about 5 to 10 minutes.

When the dough ball is complete, looking and feeling like a single ball of dough, dampen a kitchen towel and wrap the dough ball in it putting it in a dark cool place for 30 minutes. This is called resting and makes the dough more pliable later.

Making The Noodles

First roll out the dough ball on a clean surface until it is 1/8th of an inch thick. Remember to liberally flour your surface and dough to keep it from sticking. You may have to dust the dough several times while rolling it out. Once it is the desired thickness, give the dough a good dusting of flour and fold it in half. Give the next surface a good dusting and fold that in half as well. Do this 2 or 3 times until you have several layers.

Once you have your layers of dough, use a sharp knife and cut the opposite direction of the folded end. This should give you a very long noodle. Be sure to cut as thin as you can.

Toss the noodles in some flour to keep them from sticking. From here you can place them into boiling water for 5-7 minutes to cook your noodles.
