I sympathize with you, Jerry, after 3 years of law school spent hunched motionless over books and living on a diet of frozen pizza and stress, I was in pretty bad shape, physically. Here's a great recipe:



This technique of hot-blending can be used for all kinds of dishes. I chop up a box of cherry tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, an onion, and a sprig of oregano, saute them all in olive oil until the mixture gets nice and saucy, and then run the whole mess through the blender. The result is a thick, creamy tomato sauce bursting with flavor with no flour, corn starch, or other thickeners added. It's great with pasta or as homemade pizza sauce. If you aren't being picky about organic ingredients, it's equivalent in price to a bottle of fucking prego.

The other advantage for you, sad-boy, is this the vitamins present in dishes made from fresh vegetables aren't obliterated by any canning process, so the added nutrients might give you a boost in fighting your whole depression thing.


I made the tomato sauce and the broccoli soup. They were tasty and error-tolerant, and I made them a couple more times. Then they fell out of rotation pretty much permanently, due to my strong bias against recipes that require significant work and don't produce huge, long-lasting batches.

Instead I turned to hummus, and a recent branching, falafel:



Extracted with some kind of potato masher or something.

THE JERRY VERSION OF THIS RECIPE: Buy dried chickpeas, boil gently for an hour or two, pour out water, add salt, eat from pot with bare hands. Protein!
