I eat a lot of Ramen on tour - plain, with veggies, with chunks of chicken, etc. You're supposed to use 2 cups of water. I've been eyeballing it, but wasn't satisfied with the varied results. I needed a measuring cup. Finally it dawned on me. At home I put a measured cup of water in my bike's clear water bottle. I made a line on the outside with Sharpie to mark one cup. I put another cup in - another line - presto, I have a measuring cup! I'll probably put some more lines on for 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, etc., although I don't recall ever measuring anything except water for Ramen. It could happen though!
