What's up with cake donuts? Why not just eat a plain cupcake? I'd much rather have a light and airy yeast donut. You don't feel like shit like you do after eating dense cake donuts.
>>7754550
Yes you do, because they put diabetic frosty garbage on them. They taste like nothing otherwise.
>>7754736
>Putting sugar on the outside of yeast donuts
>Putting sugar in the batter of cake donuts
What's the difference? I'd still rather have a lightly glazed yeast donut, or even unglazed.
>>7754550
Fuck you OP. old fashioned donuts are the best kind. I'd dip those fuckewrsd in hot chocolaqte if I could. yeeahh. MAYBE I WILL!
When did you first start drinking, /ck/?
Around 10-11 years old. I saw my dad drinking gin and tonic (pictured) and thought it was Sprite, so I asked for some. I thought I drank cleaning fluid or something.
It wasn't until 5 or 6 years later that I started drinking shots of scotch, then a few more years before ending each night with a glass of G&T.
First drank any alcohol at communion, I was pretty young
First started drinking alcohol with meals in my teens, it was usually wine, and it was provided by family
First started drinking recreationally in college, it was whatever I could get my hands on because I didn't have much spare cash, and it was illegal until I was 21
First started drinking alone after some bitter times in my adult life, I still do. It started off as liquor but I realized it was becoming harmful so I switched to wine, which is less harmful
>>7754418
Never drunk heavily till I was 16. Binged the fuck out of 8 beers then threw up in a McDonalds carpark in front of the drivethru staff.
good memories
>>7754432
Same as this guy, had some drinks while around 15 but never got drunk until 16 when I went to a friend's girlfriend's house and drunk some vodka and OJ and went out on the town and bumbled some retardese bullshit to my crush who was there by some arcane reasoning.
I asked her out at some point, she had a boyfriend. She still has that boyfriend, I've asked out 2-3 other chicks since then and got rejected and I'm still drinking myself to death 8 years later at a dead end job.
I can't state it sincerely enough, drinking isn't worth it.
Hey /ck/, do you like gum?
Gum is a bit 90's
>>7754196
I still don't understand how those tablet versions got so popular and caused the stick kind to die out for a bit. Gum sticks are just plain superior in every way, with the only flaw being they can dry out.
>>7754196
I like gum
i fell for the meme and made a go'zza.
looks good
>>7754155
>no Sam Adams IPA
>no 'cha
kill yourself flyover
Someone please explain this meme to me
>Mmmm I just looove espresso
Proceeds to ruin it with milk and maybe a sweetener
>They gobble that shit up
Why do morons and Americans add shit into their espresso?
americans are so dumb.
>>7754136
Italians themselves have cappuccinos for breakfast. It doesn't spoil the espresso. Maybe you just have a bad barista.
This kind of thread needs to be against the rules on /ck/. This board was good once, and it's now dying a very painful death. Maybe nobody cares, but this is the shittiest of shitposts.
"morons" as an attempt to characterize people who put milk in a beverage. Tie in American bashing, and don't even make the thread about espresso in general. This should be an automatic ban.
Thoughts on this brand? I've tried several flavors and they've all been delicious. The Sea Salt Caramel has little chocolate covered caramel truffles in it and is definitely my favorite.
What's your favorite ice cream flavor/brand?
>>7753986
Any ice cream packed in cardboard containers is shit tier by default
>1/10 would refuse
>>7753992
It's not in a cardboard container. You played yourself
>>7753992
Good thing that doesn't apply to this brand then, since they are packed in clear plastic containers
where did this "coffee + butter is sooo good" meme came from? did you try it?
i have to admit that i did. i drinked a couple of times coffee plus butter, no sugar. tasted like crap, what did i expect.
I think you have to blendthebutter into rhe coffee. Ive never tried it, but i imagine that you otherwise end up with a bunch of butter completely separated from the coffee.
>>7754011
Yeah, you blend in the butter and it turns frothy.
Blending is necessary, if you add xanthan gum when blending it'll stay mixed longer. Gotta use good butter too (I use kerrygold, not the best but better). I preffer half butter half coconut oil with a lil salt.
I can cook a steak, grill some cheese, and ramen @ the same time, sorry cu/ck/s but you lost.
>>7753896
your steak looks awful
>>7753904
bull shit, op here, and I know you are trolling, you would love to have that pink in your stink.
Worst bait of all time
I work at one of the best resorts in america, Sea Island, ask me anything
>>7753869
Do you have what it takes to be a baker at Tim Hortons?
Are you a chef at a resort?
>>7753872
In my wildest dreams
An an Amerifat how can I deal with feeling hungry all the time. I drink a lot of water but it doesn't solve the issue. I also eat veggies with every meal but they don't fill me up.
Does anyone have any advice?
water is pointless to drink and vegetables will never make you feel full no matter how many you consume
eat some real food
>>7753832
Eat more complex carbs to feel fuller longer, oats are a good example.
I remember hearing that when you feel hungry it's because your stomach is contracting (also the source of the "groans" your stomach makes when you're hungry) so maybe your stomach is just stretched the fuck out to the point that you're constantly hungry every time it tries to contract to a normal size.
Try portion control. Eat, but don't eat so much. Exhibit some will power.
You might also want to try never having a formal meal but instead snacking on stuff throughout the day. A lot of people claim this works, but for me it always seemed a bad suggestion because I rather than just planning meals, I have to plan tiny little shits throughout the day--seemed annoying and a bad idea.
Bought some prunes today at the market mostly on a whim/joke.
Holy shit these fuckers are amazing!
Why didnt you tell me /ck/?
They have always just been some geriatric punch line to me. I thought they would be horrible.
A friend of mine owns a bakery/café. She offered prune cake made from brioche dough rolled out flat, topped with butter-sautéed prunes tossed with a little sugar and plum wine, rolled up into a tight snake, then coiled into a snail shell shape. She offered it for a while but nobody bought it. Usually, it would be me, her, her husband and her kitchen help just eating the prune cake ourselves.
Jokingly, I told her to rename it "dried plums cake" and she did.
Sold like a motherfucker and people loved it.
Basically, you're not alone in your aversion to it. I'll never understand it myself, because I fucking love prunes and eat them pretty often.
They're like little hugs for your mouth.
Prunes are great, I've eaten them since I was a kid and never even knew they were mostly seen as old people food til I was older.
>>7753759
Yep, they're delicious but dangerous in large quantities.
Has anyone tried Lionfish? They started selling it at alot of wholefoods in my area, and im not a huge fish guy, but im intrigued to try it.
So, if it's looking to the left, it's bad?
If it's looking to the right, it's good?
>>7753742
I think they are saying a good lion fish is a dead lion fish
they are an invasive species that is basically obliterating life on coral reefs
>>7753765
>In November 2010, for the first time the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary began licensing divers to kill lionfish inside the sanctuary in an attempt to eradicate the fish.
if you ever go scuba diving in the caribbean/south east US and want to help the environment, bring a gun with you and shoot as many lionfish as you can
How do you make a philly cheesesteak? Also, beginner recipes?
I personally prefer it 'go style with the steak on top of the cheese. Throw a couple of pineapples on it and finish it off with an IPA
>>7753701
>shitposters don't even know that 'go style cheesesteak is in fact the superior version
>>7753701
Is eating a philly without ketchup the newest meme on the market?

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.
>>7753560
Is this spam ?
I’m not debating whether GMO crop is good or bad. 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!
