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.

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.

I've also wrapped up my last meeting of the year which means even though I'm technically working from home today and tomorrow, I'm...really not.

Nice. Still have not found my copy but still certain it is around here somewhere. Many such cases, alas

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's 60 degrees here, which is absurd for Christmas, but it's better than 10 degrees.
I was at the dentist earlier, and they weren't playing Christmas music at all; instead it was a lot of Peter Frampton, which I honestly didn't hate.
