The second placeholder post is empty. Use it to introduce your blog and yourself.

Oh, well done, bruv. You’ve made the second biggest blogging mistake.
If you’ve just launched your blog, it should already have 3–6 empty placeholder posts autogenerated by the platform or system.

I hope you didn’t delete them.
The Ramen Freak is about all things ramen and noodles, Japanese or not. It focuses on traditional as well as “new wave” or “fusion” recipes and discusses protips for creating the “perfect” noodle dish for the noodle aficionado.
