“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

I can see it's time to post this hopes of broadening your culinary
horizons... Note the use of the 'trinity'.

Pour oil from above into bottom of stock pot, adding enough to cover
the bottom of the pot, if necessary. Make a roux by adding an equal
amount of flour, cooking until thickened. Add the following:

Simmer for 25 minutes. Add drained tofu, place lid on pot and simmer
for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 3 or 4 fresh bay
leaves and let cool for 15 minutes. Reheat if necessary and serve
over steamed rice. Top with fresh parsley.

If a less spicy mix is desired, the amount of red pepper can be
reduced to taste.
