[quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="Bananadine"][quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]I tried that thing Fussbett said, what was it, oh yeah <i>stop eating like a pig.</i>[/quote] That is cool but I remember you saying something about your groceries a while ago and they sounded like poor-people food--like, Super-Valu canned pasta and so on, which maybe makes some sense if you're poor and all but, you know, poor people are pretty fat, and maximally refined wheat flour in tomato paste isn't exactly good for you even if you're eating sufficiently little of it. Do you have a book on nutrition to go with your Charles Bronson?[/quote] 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: [youtube id=ZtYfJONfI90] 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.[/quote]
