chopping up a ton of stuff while drinking red wine and listening to your upsetting podcast of choice and making a big pasta that you live on for days after. also letting yourself take the time to chill out and cook something when everything else feels super overwhelming ... just a small clemency
something cool about Pittsburgh is that pierogis are a staple food. my deli keeps them in the reach in at eye level and so I always end up buying a pack of them frozen. today i was tired and didn't want to cook but also the idea of Uber Eats-ing something was really depressing so i softened some scallions and green garlic in my wok and then let the pierogis brown on either side for like 6 minutes in the hot oil. then i made a dipping sauce with a scoop of creme fraiche and kewpie and a ton of chopped up herbs. when the rogis were done i sauteed several handfuls of spinach in the wok. don't feel bad about calories or carbs because you are also eating spinach ok. make a lazy pierogi dinner today
