>gently drop knife into a bowl
>tip breaks off
Is my knife made of defective materials or is Shun just a shit meme brand?
I know the blade is thin so I handled it gently but I didn't know the metal was as brittle as glass. I've seen ceramic knives take more punishment. Anyways the knife is going back to Shun for repair/replacement. Will they send me a new knife or will they jew me and grind a new edge and send it back half an inch shorter?

nice story OP, glorius nippon steel never breaks, not when it's folded over 1000 times
why do you need the end? I never stab anything with it.

>Is my knife made of defective materials
No, you're just a retard.
OFC a very hard, thin, tip is going to be fragile. WTF were you doing putting a knife in a bowl anyway?

What's a good diet for looking youthful?
Semen.
>>8745324
I just drink shitty coffee, shitty beer, smoke shitty little cigars, eat shitty food and am a living part of my couch.
140Lbs and youthful looking as ever.
I think when you stress yourself out about this shit it just makes your body worse.
Become one with your couch. Unless you're fat, then go outside or something.
The worst diet is having a diet at all.
The best diet is poverty.

>>8744297
I have never been to a Dunkin Donuts in my life. What should I order my first time going to make my experience the most memorable?
>>8745516
Go early in the morning, get some fresh coffee and a fresh donut.
I hate cheese, I just can't, this thing disgusting make me sick...normal people should never eat rotten milk.
Cheese isn't rotten milk. I could understand not liking some of the stinky or fungus cheeses, but what about fresh mozzarella? How about a nice cheddar?
>>8743675
Those are extremely low quality cheeses

Says who? They're delicious.
Monsanto is a chemical company that was started in the year 1901. They created DDT and Agent Orange. Many people aren’t even aware of their existence and that needs to change ASAP. They’re absolutely huge and own a majority of agricultural production WORLDWIDE (India currently having many legal issues with them). (See link-http://www.truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/make-monsanto-pay-for-swindling-farmers-in-india) (yes source is a blog, but she’s a doctor and you can easily google her). I’m sure many of you have heard of GMO… guess who made those? MONSANTO. They are the ones who directly poison our food and encourage the use of chemicals in/on our food.
More than just health effects, (see link by New York Times about lawsuits against them) [http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/01/business/monsanto-could-benefit-from-a-chemical-safety-bill.html] this company bullies and threatens farmers into producing their GMO crops. (see free doc- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvkNda-_jdc) . It’s important to note that GMO crop are to be made on a mass production scale and require heavy and expensive machinery (in order to keep up production) that poor farmers- especially 3rd world farmers- cannot afford. Unlike normal, natural plants, GMO crops (seeds) do not come back every year and must be repurchased from Monsanto with money that farmers do not have! There was a mass suicide among farmers in India over a ten year span that started in 2005 simply because they, as poor, 3rd world farmers, could not meet Monsanto’s requirements and fell into financial ruin! The farmers that produce food don’t even have enough to eat themselves- this is so sad!
To make things worse, Monsanto has sued farmers and have won in court! Monsanto has patented (copyrighted) GMO seeds, making them illegal to use/ sell unless paid for. Many crops, such as corn, are wind pollinated and can easily contaminate a neighbouring farmer’s organic crop (via wind).
When their crop tests positive for GMO and they don’t pay Monsanto- they sue the farmers and succeed in doing so! See how they can scare farmers?!
These crops, because of how large the sale is, must be maintained with the use of chemicals. (Chemicals synthesized by Monsanto as well). As stated before, Monsanto’s use of pesticides and fungicides contain chemicals that are very harmful to us and the environment. It’s odd how a chemical can kill all the plants (weeds) around the crop but not the actual crop itself. When it rains on these crops, its causes a toxic runoff that drains into bodies of water and pollutes them! Hence why it’s only recommended to eat fish once a week, as their mercury levels are so high (and for some reason we take that as fact and we’re all okay with it!)
The only financially reasonable way we can help is to spread the word and raise awareness of this company and what’s its doing to us and our planet. As a company that only cares about revenue, when people become aware, their sales will go down! When more people find out, Monsanto will only have two choices: either change their ways or go out of business.
My focus is on the health effects of pesticides on us and the environment. And also, the hardships of famers (especially 3rd world). Here are some scholarly articles that are a better source than the blog (Blog is written by a doctor though).

Thanks everyone for your time reading this and perhaps together we can discuss environmentally sustainable agriculture such as polyculture (see google lol)! I appreciate everyone’s feedback, negative or positive. A quick reminder that not everyone will agree (even some farmers), so remember to be patient and respectful of everyone’s opinion… as change does not happen overnight!

>Many people aren’t even aware of their existence
Incorrect. Most people just have the intelligence to realize that agent orange back then doesn't instantly deligitimize future inventions. In fact, monsanto is under massive scrutiny and yet people still can't fault gmos without being completely flawed
is there a term for when you fry garlic and/or spices in oil until fragrant and bubbly before making the rest of the dish?
might be a french word or something?

/ck/ I am poor as shit and basically live on
>Oatmeal
>Soup
>Rice+Beans
When I have money I buy meat for the soup for protein or whey or whatever really. Basically though I wanted some ideas on how to spice my 3 basic meals. Normally I use cinnamon on my oatmeal, salt and onion powder and garlic powder for the soup, and soy sauce for the rice and beans. They all taste divine but I want variety you know? Different flavours on the same basic meals.
Any tips?
>>8741180
Lentils. Sardines and other canned seafoods. Livers. Eggs.
>>8741180
lemon ginger(fresh) garlic(fresh) fish sauce
you could probably use that combo on all 3 meals.
>>8741183
For liver, this is a good recipe:

What do I do with these
>>8740607
Croutons, stuffing, soup dipping bread, bread pudding.
Eat them. Are they less desirable to you for some reason?
>>8740607

All sources are backed by science and are arguably the best sources on the web I could find that don't provide bullshit.
These are not you're typical Buzzfeed/Cosmopoltian media sites, these are backed by scientists and/or health care professionals. If not, it is either a trusted site or provides insight on previously proven facts. Please provide any insight you may have on coffee, including sources. Thank you.

He felt he deserved it since he was in Texas and travelled so far
Once or twice a month he lifted 4 pound weights a few times as a work out
He treated himself to four large chinese take away dinners piled together on a plate, with two egg rolls each night for dinner
For desert he would have cake and ice cream
Throughout the day he would consume 8 litres of soft drink
For breakfast, he would have three packets of assorted chocolates, toast with eggs and sausages
For lunch, two loafs of bread with various toppings, chocolate, fried chicken and packets of chips

Anyone know any recipes for portable and cheap high protein foods? I'm at uni all day and can't afford to eat lunch out on campus every day, and I'm fucking sick of protein shakes and jerky. Is there anything I can bring with me that doesn't need to be in a fridge or warmed up?
Protein bar?
