Somebody somewhere reminded me that ribs were the celebratory food for Christmas Adam so that's lunch sorted
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Bring back the original recipe Doo-Dads from Nabisco and I'll buy them in 25 lb. bags.

I mean I looooove homemade Chex mix (and have already made it twice this month) but I don’t think it really fills my nutritional needs other than “sodium”.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't know, I don't think that could get past being a snack and feel like a meal. I am asking a lot from my hypothetical bachelor chow, I know
I'm imagining something more like Gravy Train, the dog food that made its own gravy when you added some water.
JZ was an early adopter of Christmas Adam, so Happy Xmas Adam y'all.
My neighbor's weathervane (a girl with an umbrella) is pointed the wrong way this morning. (Wrong in this instance meaning she's getting an easterly wind.)
Probably just the swirl of winter storms but it's a little uncanny since the wind is coming off the ocean 98% of the time.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My version of Bachelor Chow is a modification (no olives, ground turkey for protein, and stovetop-only preparation) of the family tallarine recipe. I make a big batch, and refrigerate most of it in single portion containers. Pull one out and nuke it for a meal.

I like the Gravy Train exemplar. That's a major question, I think, do you add something to bachelor chow before you eat it or just chow down, as it were?
We have a prevailing (and nearly constant) westerly wind at my house, too, I wonder if it's shifted. I'm at the office so I can't check.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We had an overnight snowstorm that kickstarted winter break a day early! AND with temps just above freezing, it looks like a snowglobe outside but there's not much sticking to the streets to shovel. Double winning!

Oh, that sounds like one of my favorite meals out of I Hate to Cook, Italian Delight! A freeze-dried version of that would rock.
