It doesn't matter if you're voting for Hillary or Donald or writing in Thomas Jefferson—this is going to be a stressful week. It will be stressful in the nail-biting, tight-chested days leading up to the election, and stressful—for half of you, anyway—in the oh-God-oh-no-what-just-happened aftermath.

We are not equipped at Epicurious to give you sound psychological advice on how to get through it. The best we can do is offer some recipes you can take your feelings out on.

Monday: Pound Something

This 22-minute meal calls for chicken cutlets, "pounded if necessary." Don't think twice about it: this week, it's necessary.

Tuesday: Knead Something

Making this challah requires that you "use your palms to push and tear the top of the dough away from you in one stroke, and then fold that section onto the middle of the dough." Do this over and over again until your arms ache. Then throw away the dough because it's ruined.

Wednesday: Chop Something

You need six cups of chopped romaine hearts for this salad, which translates to six cups of tension instantly released. (Hey, it's a start.)

Thursday: Burn something

"Preheat oven to 500°F. Set vents to high and open a window for adequate ventilation." This recipe completely understands your emotional state right now.

Friday: Cry

Three pounds of onions should do the trick. In fact, half of you will probably be sobbing before you even start.
