That looks great, @botch. Deets?

Noodles:  Ronzoni now makes an 8.8-oz boxed "Homestyle Fetuccini", the noodles are bunched into four bundles, and one bundle is perfect for a single-serving cook when I don't feel like rice/too lazy to make fresh.
Stir-fry:  I keep a bag of raw, shelled/deveined, tail-off shrimp in the freezer, a single bag does me protein for 5, 6 meals.  Sliced 4 cremini mushrooms, and cheated by buying a bag of "Stir-Fried Vegetables" at the market, had broccoli, snow peas, carrot and a few other things in it, no knife work!  Sliced up a single scallion for garnish.  Sauce, this time, was about 1/2 tsp cornstarch, a bloop of oyster sauce, bloop of soy sauce, maybe 1/2 tsp of black vinegar, a bloop of shaoshing (sp?) two bloops of water, and some black pepper.  
Shrimp cook fast, so I stir-fried the mushrooms and scallion whites first, a couple minutes until the 'shrooms were browned.  Added the shrimp and bagged veggies, go until the shrimp are almost cooked, then throw in the noodles and re-mixed sauce, kill the heat, and stir until sauce thickens/coats everything (maybe 30 seconds).  (and I just realized I forgot any garlic!)  
 
Since learning how to stir-fry decades ago (and re-learning the technique when I got my super-hot BlueStar), I realized how well it works when cooking for one or two.  I can buy a 4-pak of thighs and have four completely different meals just by varying the veggies and especially the sauce (I am a condiment maniac).  I also often go to the store intent on making beef with green pepper, but end up buying a chunk of pork and broccoli because the peppers looked tired and the pork was on sale.  It works very well for me.
