    Sauces and gravy on the side for him. Making a quick butter or cheese sauce is less time than a whole separate meal.

    I spent some time fantasizi-I mean, pondering what I'd do if I had to eat 4,000 calories or so a day. I would eat so much pasta. And hot dogs. And pretzels. And potato chips. Also Hungry Man dinners! Make him manicotti, strangolapreti, penne ala vodka, pasta fagioli, baked zitti, stuffed shells, baccala alla romana, ice box cake, pizzelles, zabaione, tortellini etc. I wouldn't even know where to begin on guessing the calories on these dishes, but I'd say that each MUST be at LEAST 2,000. This is why Italians are fat. The beauty of these types of recipes is that whilst they are probably out of the picture for people watching their calories, they aren't entirely unhealthy or filled with 'junky' foods (I'm not by any means claiming these are totally healthy, just not totally junky). I'd imagine these are healthier alternatives than my original suggestions (hot dogs, potato chips) and places like Mc. Donalds and Taco Bell.

    ...which I would go to a lot.
