Fascinating!
Now I want to re-read that UKL story, Solitude, if only to make sure that it doesn't mention square poop (I am pretty sure it does not, but not 100%)
I like the ruffles.

Unrelated to anything, but: Freeze-dried backpacking meals are a comfort food for me, and Mountain House had a Black Friday sale that brought the price/meal down to around where my normal grocery budget lives so I bought several bulk cans of various things, including one I had not tried before but seemed intriguing. Namely, Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl. It's been my I-need-to-eat-but-nothing-sounds-good meal for the past week. It's kind of like pizza in stew form? Not something I think I will find myself craving, but maybe the closest thing to Bachelor Chow I've come across. I imagined Bachelor Chow to be something you just poured in a bowl and ate and this requires boiling some water, stirring, and waiting 9 minutes, but still pretty close

Huh. Barnes & Noble is on DoorDash.

Namely, Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl.
This reminds me of Pizza-in-a-Cup from the Steve Martin movie The Jerk.

I did not remember that. Possibly inspired by!

Is there anywhere we are talking Heated Rivalry? Not sure I have much to actually say other than “squeeeeee!” But.

Also I absolutely want bachelor chow. I want it to be crunchy. Protein bars and shakes and stuff aren’t crunchy.

And, yes, bachelor chow should be crunchy! I have always imagined something kind of cereal like, but maybe something like chex mix would work? Hm
