One of the great tragedies of our time is that soft wheat crepes topped with sweet stuff became more popular than crispy buckwheat crepes (galettes) filled with savory stuff.

If you have never taken your leftover corn tortillas and fried them up into tortilla chips…this is your sign.

I moved to France for 3 months and gained 7 lbs of mostly fat. I ate whatever I wanted, walked about 1-2k more steps per day more than when I was in the US but stopped lifting routinely so overall was burning less calories.
I am tired of this lie. People do exponentially more walking when they travel overseas.

Name the countries and the cheeses then. French butter is great, but l would beg to differ.
Good French butter is better than most countries’ entire lineup of cheese.

Videos like this always crack me up. Like what exactly is the “hack” here? It’s literally just cooking. For those interested, here’s the food science behind what’s happening: - Egg whites start to set around 140–150°F (60–65°C) - Egg yolks set a bit higher, around 150–160°F

Most people completely miss the point when this conversation comes up: Day 1 cooking at home -> Looks really expensive because you had to buy all the ingredients at once for a single meal. Day 7 cooking at home -> Much cheaper because you are going to amortize your ingredients,
eating at home costing $60 with time and labor and eating outside costing $56.78. alright.

A lot of content is made by extremely online people, who observe the behavior of other extremely online people and assume that's how everyone is. It's very easy to let your worldview be shaped by a small number of people who are very good at getting attention on phones

Takes like this are pointless. There are so many other reasons why cooking consistently can positively impact your life. These are just a personal few I’ve experienced: 1. In college, I cooked at home to save money. My average grocery bill was ~$40 a week. Like yea if I wanted
My most controversial take is that unless you eat nothing but ground beef rice & veggies for every meal, cooking at home as one person who desires variety is truly not that much cheaper than buying out for every meal. I’ve attempted to do both and I noticed minimal difference in

FTFY: “Just be productive bro” is peak hustle-brain nonsense. You think grinding for 12 hours straight, skipping meals, sleep, and joy, is some badge of honor? Congrats, you cleared your inbox and nuked your nervous system. Hope the dopamine hit was worth it. Productivity
This “just cook bro” mentality is peak broke-brain logic. You think spending an hour every day chopping onions and scrubbing pans is some badge of honor? Congrats, you saved $7 and burned the only free hour you had after work. Hope the lentils were worth it. Cooking isn’t free.

We are working on solving this exact problem…
cooking your own meals really is the best way to devote 50h of your life every month to save $50

Why do people try to torture themselves instead of just learning how to cook?
I'm sick of food products with long lists of ingredients that I don't understand. Someone should make a protein bar with just the following: -whey protein (50g) -caffeine (300mg) -nicotine (6mg) -testosterone (200mg) -adderral (20mg IR)
