cooking is when you make something hot with a pan on the stove or a pan in the oven or boil something up like some shells or fingerling potatoes. sounds exhausting. that's why for the past few months, most days as i drive home from work i buy a thing of greens (right now im partial to organic girl baby greens + crunch but basically anything that's not grossed chopped bagged iceberg or romaine will do) and make some caesar salad. i put whatever i have in the caesar salad. rotisserie chicken. mushrooms cooked in butter and wine that i made for a dinner that wasn't ceaser salad. fritos. almonds.
rn my stomach feels terrible, i wake up in pain. think i should stop eating caeser salad??

Cooking STRESSES ME OUT so I will have to check out the chicken soup recipe you shared, Ms. Gia. I could take or leave her cutesy turns of phrase but I love the way Molly Baz explains things and this Caesar salad recipe is great. I swap out the canola oil for olive oil and I like to double it up to make one giant salad.
PRODUCE
1 garlic clove
1 lemon
4 romaine hearts
DAIRY
2 large eggs
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese (about ½ cup), plus more for serving
PANTRY
½ crusty baguette (about
6 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil
Kosher salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
4 oil-packed anchovy
fillets
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
Serves 4
1. Make the croutons:
* Preheat the oven to 350°F. Tear ½ of a baguette into irregular 1-inch pieces; you should end up with about 3 cups of torn bread. Toss on a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and a few good cranks of black pepper until weil coated. Bake until deeply golden brown and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool.
2. Make the dressing:
* Separate the yolks and whites of 2 large eggs. Place the yolks in a large bowl (where you'll build your dressing) and reserve the whites for another use.
* Finely grate 1 garlic clove and the zest of about half of a lemon into the large bowl. Squeeze in the juice of half of the lemon.
* Finely chop 4 anchovies, then mash them to a paste, using the side of a chef's knife until homogeneous; add to the large bowl.
* Add 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and whisk everything to combine. Place a damp kitchen towel underneath the bowl to stabilize it so it doesn't slip 'n' slide all over the place as you whisk in the oil.
* Starting with a very thin stream at first, whisking constantly as you go, incorporate ½ cup of canola oil into the yolk mixture until it is thick, creamy, and pale yellow.
* Whisk in ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese (¼ cup).
* Taste the dressing on a leaf of romaine-it should be salty, cheesy, and lemony.
* Make any adjustments necessary until it tastes so good that you'd be happy eating a bowl of it alone with a side of crouts.
3. Prep the lettuce:
* Tear the leaves of 4 romaine hearts into 2-inch pieces and transfer them to the bowl of dressing.
* Squeeze the juice of half of the lemon over the romaine, season with salt, and toss the leaves to coat, avoiding incorporating any of the dressing beneath just yet.
4. Serve:
* Add the croutons and gently toss the lettuce with your hands until well coated. Add 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese (¼ cup) and toss again. Divide among plates and top with more grated Parmesan and black pepper.

it's like a river flowing in the opposite of the culture. it's very important to participate in the counterculture and participate in public because the culture is a toilet but the counterculture is pure and true. anything can be the counterculture if it's countercultural. i believe the fast casual bowl restaurant to be one of our greatest countercultural institutions today simply for the fact that so many of our countercultural warriors are eating fast casual grain or salad bowls in order to fuel up for their day jobs.
