DMC Week Day 4: Food – Dante & V

Warnings: None, gen, no shipping.

V found it odd to be the first one back at Devil May Cry after today’s hunt and find it actually… pretty clean? No papers nor books were scattered around the desk, it was all neatly stacked upon the surface, right beside Dante’s photo of his mother. There was even a fresh scent in the air, as if the windows had been recently opened. And the old pizza boxes thrown away, finally.

“Huuuh, it’s like someone threw a magic spell over this place!” Griffon said, fascinated as he flew off to Dante’s desk.

“I certainly doubt it was Dante..” V admitted, setting down himself to sit at the sofa. “Since it is now looking rather presentable… let it stay like that.” He added, green eyes following his familiar who was stepping all over the desk with his talons.

“Oh ho, I found something!” Griffon snickered. “EH? ‘Cleaning’s coming out of your cut, take me shopping pronto!’ signed by some Patty. Dante have enemies in the human world too huh?”

“In any case, it is his private matter. Leave it be.” To V’s ears, it didn’t sound like a threat, but to the older Devil Hunter, the prospect of shopping might be. At least to his wallet…

If anything, V found it interesting that Dante might have friends that were outside of the devil hunting business. So far, all people that V knew of from Dante’s immediate vicinity were involved in the circle of fighting the demons, but of course, Dante had spent many years among humans. He was bound to have at least made some other connections.

V lowered himself down onto the old leather couch, feeling it dip under him just as the doors to the shop opened up anew.

“Well well, didn’t expect to not be the first.” Dante grinned upon seeing them, Griffon swooping over to the couch and his master.

“Hehe, maybe yer getting old.” The avian snickered, earning himself a grin from the seasoned hunter.

“Oh yeah?” Dante said in amusement, stepping towards the old jukebox and giving the power on button a tap. “Wanna see this old man bust some moves?” Energetic rock music started up in the speakers and Griffon shrieked.

“Once was enough!”

V smirked to himself, Dante’s dance at that time had been unexpected certainly but somehow so very Dante that it had been amusing to watch. Who else would have started to dance like Michael Jackson, on the inside of a demonic tree that tried to send mankind to its doom?

“So, everything went fine?” Dante asked, checking his desk and noticing the paper Griffon had almost flown away with. His fingers stopped just over its paper surface, his shoulders rising slightly in a huff, but V could not see his expression.

“No complaints, it was only a few strays.” V replied, taking out his book. Strays or not from the horde, Sin Scissors could still pose quite the threat to unarmed civilian targets.

“Yeah, we fried ‘em up good! Now, who’s that chick that’s got it out for ya money?” Griffon snickered, hovering over Dante’s shoulder.  

“Just a friend. Who’s angry at me for ditching a certain party.” Dante huffed in amusement, pulling his arms back and puffing his chest out in a stretching motion. “For a job well done by both of us, how about we order some pizza? The power’s on, the water’s running. We deserve a treat.”

And yet you have just received another bill? V thought, softly closing his book on the page of the Proverbs of Hell. Dante and money did not seem to walk hand-in-hand. The summoner’s stomach did feel a tad empty after the long day however, so the offer of food seemed tempting. Despite the small detail…

“I have yet to try pizza. I suppose I could give it a try.”

Dante’s eyes locked onto V, his arms still locked in a stretch as his lips seemed to twitch into a surprised smile. As if the thought of there existing a man that had not tried out the delicacy of pizza, in his own shop, was hard to believe for Dante, the man who regularly fought creatures that most people would not believe existed.

“Then it’s high time you have a taste.” Dante grinned, walking around his desk and pulled a drawer open, extracting a folded paper and offering it to Griffon, who was still hovering around the desk.

“What am I, a messenger bird?!” Despite his annoyed tone, Griffon snatched it out of the air, flapping his wings over to the couch, handing the menu to V. The paper was printed with bold red and black letters, the logo a cartoony pizza baker just taking a freshly baked pizza out of the oven, whistling as he worked. Given a little more detailed, one could probably make the pizza baker look like Dante. V wondered if they were truly so happy while doing their job, he imagined it involved some stress, though different from the one he regularly faced as a Devil Hunter.

Carefully, he opened up the menu, the spine where the simple menu folded in two lacked color and the edges looked faded, telling him that Dante had had this menu for quite some time. It was however already damaged now, three poking holes through it from Griffon’s talons.

It contained no pictures, only rows upon rows of text and though V had much love for the written word, his admitted lack of experience with this cuisine did not make him much wiser as to what to choose. The amount of toppings and combinations were actually staggering. Could there truly be such variations to it?

Should he ask for a recommendation…? V swatted away the thought, how hard could this be? A flutter of wings suddenly descended on his shoulder, Griffon peeking on the menu with all of his golden eyes.

“Just grab one with everything V! Might put some meat on yer skinny bones!” His noisy familiar stated. “And everything you don’t want, I’ll eat!”

“You don’t even need food.” V pointed out with a small smirk playing on his lips. “But I suppose that can be arranged.”

“Oh no, you’re gonna learn that pizza leftovers are the best there is!” Dante pointed out. “And take a pizza without olives, that’s my one condition!”

Well, that did limit his options somewhat… which V certainly didn’t, despite the fact that he wouldn’t mind trying olives. In fact, there were a lot of foods he wouldn’t mind trying out, at least once. He was however surprised, since he had thought no matter the toppings of a pizza, Dante would appreciate it.

“Or you take one with, just to see his face!” Griffon lowered his voice, the will to cause some mischief very prominent in his summoner’s ear. V couldn’t help but smirk, the thought was entertaining yes, but if he was going to be treated then he didn’t wish to step on toes.

“I’ll keep it simple.” He concluded, asking for simply pineapples on his pizza. Sweets was something that V had found himself enjoying more and more and pineapple was quite a lovely fruit. Though peaches might still be his favorite that option was not available, making him wonder if it was not considered a good topping.

Dante nodded appreciatively.

“Interesting first choice. I’m more for that touch of pepperoni myself.” Just as his hand moved for the old phone on his desk, the doors flew open to show off a gang of pizza box carrying hunters. The smell of melted cheese, tomato sauce and baked bread was suddenly so prominent that the shop smelled like a pizzeria.

“Oh good, you’re here! Grab the pizzacutter!” Lady ordered, carrying three stacked boxes and setting them down on the desk.

“My, what a delivery! I’m touched you’re treating me.” The veteran Devil Hunter declared, heading for the kitchen.

“We put it on your tab.” Trish stated, grinning as if it was obvious, adding to Lady’s stack of boxes, earning a laugh from Dante.

“Should I be concerned you have a tab at a pizza place?” Nero wondered aloud, putting down the, in his opinion, needlessly expensive bottles of soda the girls had decided they should get as well.

“Yo V, dinnertime!” Nico grinned. “Nobody knew what yer favorite toppings were, so we got ya a plain one and ya can just try a slice from everybody!”

“Now we’re talking!” His avian familiar declared, flapping over their heads and checking the contents as boxes were opened up, pizzas cut into suitable triangles and passed around on napkins or plates. V opted for a plate, surprised at how many slices were put upon it, from all the others. From Nico’s pizza with banana and curry, to Nero’s with cheese-stuffed crust and some extra sauce on the side, to Lady’s with fresh tomatoes, salad and prosciutto, to Trish and Dante’s pepperoni pizzas, he tried a slice of them all. His hand felt dusty from holding the slices while eating, a feeling he did not enjoy but all the different toppings he got to try did make up for it and he found himself to enjoy a surprising amount of them, despite how long the stringy cheese could turn, making a bite treacherously close to messy . After Lady’s pizza though, the pepperoni, while different, made it feel a bit lackluster.

“Compared to the rest, this is not… not as flavorful as I expected. Not to mention, the edges are a little burnt, ruining the visual appeal and no doubt, the taste at the edges.” He admitted to Dante after finishing his first bite. First of all, there weren’t even a lot of slices of pepperoni on it. Griffon happily snatched the rest of the slice to himself, exclaiming ‘finally’!

V observed, eyebrows furrowing at the veteran Devil Hunter as his commentary was met with a hearty chuckle.

“I don’t see what I said that might be so… amusing?” V tried, waiting for the outburst to subside.

“Nothing. Just thinking this might be the birth of a pizza nerd.” Dante clapped V’s back with some force, making the summoner frown, he had only stated an analysis.. Oh.

“Certainly not. That said, yours did not have as much pepperoni as I expected.” V smirked.

“Yeah, they were being stingy this time, doesn’t happen often. But it makes each bite of it the more satisfying.” Dante grinned.

V had not expected his smirk to soften to a smile, nor expected himself to agree. Relaxing times like these were not frequent, but that made each time even better.

“And don’t worry, next time, we’ll get that pineapple pizza.” Dante promised, the grin never leaving his face.

“Very well.” V secretly hoped that wouldn’t come too soon. Tasty it might have been, but he felt full enough on cheese, tomato sauce and bread to last at least a month without it.

The KLEMOO Meat Tenderizer Tool is somewhat similar to the Lasting Charm Meat Tenderizer but at a bit higher price. This product also features 48 ultra-sharp stainless- steel blades that can puncture meats. It can create tiny holes in the meat to break down connective tissues that make the meat tough.

Because it can puncture the meat, it can allow the marinade to go inside the meat and get fully-absorbed in as fast as 5 minutes. It can also cut cooking time by 40% because heat can penetrate the meat more quickly. With a faster cooking time, you get less nutrient and flavor loss, so you end up with a juicier and the meat taste better.

The tenderizer tool is designed well with an outward curve top for a more comfortable non-slip grip while tenderizing meat, very ergonomic and comfortable for your hands. With a simple press down, you can tenderize your meats.

Other than that, this product comes with a protective plastic cover to prevent accidental pricks and puncture wounds from the sharp blade, plus you can keep it clean and sanitary. This tenderizer is top-rack dishwasher-safe that allows you less time spent on cleaning.

We love how KLEMOO is so easy to use and it’s the best meat tenderizer tool that you can have. We love its ergonomic design and simplicity and ability to perform its function well. It is very light with a weight of 10.4 oz and a length of 6.3 inches, so you don’t have to strain yourself too much when using this.

KitchenAid Meat Tenderizer, Black

The KitchenAid Meat Tenderizer is another traditional style meat mallet that is made of aluminum material. It has a soft grip handle so that you can hold it comfortably and firmly without slipping from your hands.

Unlike the professional Wusthof Meat Tenderizer, this product has a tenderizer head with both flat and textured surfaces to flatten or tenderize all types and cuts of meat depending on your preference.

This mallet is a bit small with a length of 11 inches and a weight of 9.6 oz only. It is considerably lighter than other mallets in the market making it a lightweight option. But despite its small size, it is perfect for petite or even large hands folks, which is why many users love this product.

The only downside to this item is that it can’t be washed in the dishwasher. The positive outlook on that is you can wash it yourself more thoroughly. Also, it’s not so terrible to clean it out because it doesn’t have small holes or spaces where food can get stuck into it.

The KitchenAid Meat Tenderizer is one of the best meat tenderizer mallet because of its effective traditional design and lightweight. Its material makes meat tenderizing an easy task without having to carry much weight.

Jaccard Supertendermatic 48-Blade Tenderizer

The Jaccard Supertendermatic 48-Blade Tenderizer is another meat tenderizer tool that features 48 301 stainless steel blades. Which means you get solid steel that doesn’t easily corrode. It’s very effective in effortlessly cutting through the meat’s connective tissues and tough meat fibers that makes it tough.

The razor-sharp blades can cut through any meat like beef, pork, chicken, veal, turkey, and others. It can puncture the meat and put holes which helps marinades go into the meat easily. It can also cut down cooking time by 40% that leaves you with a juicier and more flavorful meat.

The downside of this product is that its handle is not ergonomically designed, but it is still made with comfort and is easy to grip. It is made of ABS plastic which is another sturdy material that can resist heat and has properties to withstand impact resistance and toughness.

The product is 5.8 inches in length with a weight of 15.2 ounces, which is pretty heavy compared to the other meat tenderizer tools. However, you don’t have to constantly lift this up unlike mallet types of tenderizers so the weight may not be an issue.

Many users love this product and have positive feedback on how sturdy and sharp the blade is. Despite having a hefty price, it is very worth it in terms of performance. This product comes with a 1-year hassle-free replacement and lifetime limited warranty, but first, you have to fill up a form on their official website at www.jaccard.com.

Koncle Professional 56 Stainless-Steel Needle Meat Tenderizers

The Koncle professional Needle Meat Tenderizer is another excellent meat tenderizer tool to consider. What makes it unique from others is its round shape and due to the circular body design, it can fit in 56 stainless steel blades, unlike others that have only 48.

Because it has more blades, it means you’d also have to use less energy to press the tool down to tenderize the meat. It punctures through the meat so it helps you cut through meat easier and cook it faster and more evenly. It reduces cooking time so the meat can retain its juice more.

The plastic body and handle are made of food-grade material and ABS plastic. The handles with spring are made to resist corrosion too. The 56 stainless steel blades are very sharp and hard so that it can puncture any meat that you want.

This product also has a safety feature and protective cover that will protect your hands from accidentally getting punctured.

Common FAQ

What Can I Use to Tenderize Meat?

A meat tenderizer is a tool that you use manually in the kitchen to tenderize tough meat cuts prior to cooking. Other than making the meat tender, it can also help lessen cooking time to keep the juice and nutrients of the meat, giving you a more flavorful dish. Here are the different types of meat tenderizers that you can choose from.

Hammer

The hammer type of meat tenderizer is the most common and traditional one. It looks like a hammer or mallet with a handle and two heads. It can be made of wood but it is more commonly made of metal like aluminum or stainless-steel.

On one side of the tool has a flat surface while the other side has a pyramid-shaped texture for tenderizing meat. Sometime people use it to break larger chuck of ice too.

Needle Tenderizer

A needle tenderizer features a series of blades that puncture the meat to make it tender. It cuts into the tough meat fibers to make it soft.

Potato Masher

A potato masher type of tenderizer looks like a potato masher but has a short handle with a broad metal face that is either smooth or textured for tenderizing meats.

Meat Tenderizer Machine

Meat tenderizer machines are usually used in commercial or industrial companies who produce large volumes of meat. Just like any other product, the best meat tenderizer machine depends on who will be using it and how much meat will be processed.

You can choose between the electrical meat tenderizer machine or manual heavy-duty models. The meat goes through the machine and there are blades that puncture the tough meat to make it tender.

What is a Natural Meat Tenderizer?

Some foods or ingredients can naturally make the meat tender. This can be a more economical option or just a natural one that can also enhance the flavors of your meat. You can use these as meat tenderizer ingredients in your marinade to make the meat soft and flavorful. So, here’s how to tenderize meat naturally:

Salt

Despite being believed that putting salt before cooking will make the meat tough and dry, salt is an effective meat tenderizer. But you have to use coarse salt like kosher or sea salt and stay away from fine table salt that can be quickly absorbed by the meat. This is somewhat similar to brining wherein salt breaks down some tough protein structures in the meat.

How to Tenderize Steak with Salt

Pick out your coarse sea salt

Lay out your steak/meat and cover each side with around 1 teaspoon of salt before cooking

Use your fingers and gently press down the salt onto the surface of the meat

Let it sit for at least 45 minutes

Rinse it off under running water

Pat dry with a paper towel to get a nice sear when cooking

Tannins

Tannins are natural tenderizers and these can be found in wine, beer, tea, and coffee. Aside from that, these beverages contain other acids that can help break down proteins in tough meat. If you’re planning to use tea or coffee, make sure they are brewed strong and allow them to cool before marinating the meat. Maximum marinating time can be 24 hours.

Acids

Working with acids can mean tenderizing meat with vinegar, lemon, lime, pineapple or tomatoes. When acids are used as a meat marinade, it softens tough muscle fibers and connective tissues, while making it even more flavorful. And what’s great about acids is that there’s a wide range of ingredients to choose from.

You can make a very simple meat tenderizer recipe by adding just a tablespoon or two of vinegar to your cooking liquids, roasts, stews, or any meat dish to make it very juicy and tender.

Baking Soda

Wondering how to tenderize meat with baking soda? Just like salt, it can break down protein in meat. So just coat the meat with some baking soda an hour before cooking to draw the water from the meat and make it more tender. Drain it off with water and rinse well before cooking.

Fruits or Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are another natural meat tenderizers such as pineapple, papaya, figs, kiwi that contain papain. This enzyme helps break down tough muscle fibers, which makes it an effective natural meat tenderizer.

How to Tenderize Meat Without a Mallet?

Using one of the best meat pounder featured here ensures that you have a very tender meat. However, if you do not have one readily available in your kitchen, there are also other ways to tenderize meat and here’s how:

Meat Tenderizer Powder

In addition to using a mallet, meat pounder, or other meat tenderizer tool, you can use a meat tenderizing powder. It contains natural enzymes like papain or bromelain which help break down the tough meat fibers. Make sure that you use the best meat tenderizer powder with great quality so that you end up with the most tender piece of meat.

How to Tenderize Sirloin Steak?

Before using a meat tenderizer powder, read the label to know the correct ratio to use with the amount of your meat. If you’re going to use powder on tough meat cuts like sirloin steak, first you have to mix it with your choice of marinade or seasoning. Then sprinkle the combined seasoning and powder on your sirloin steak or meat choice before you cook it.

Poke the surface of the meat with a fork or press it with your fingers so that the meat tenderizer powder will penetrate the meat and allow its enzymes to break into more meat fibers in the meat. Marinade it for at least 45 minutes then cook it immediately to achieve exceptional flavor and tenderness.

How to Tenderize Steak for Grilling?

Grilling is one of the best ways to cook meat and there are specific techniques to grill meat and keep its tenderness.

You can use the natural meat tenderizers that we listed here or use mechanical meat tenderizers that have blades that can cut through the meat. You can also pound the meat with a stainless steel meat tenderizer mallet, or you can even use a heavy cast iron skillet.

Score the meat and make cross-hatch patterns using a sharp knife. Keep the incisions shallow to 1/8-inch only. Do this on both sides of the meat to cut through tough meat fibers and to cook it evenly.

To achieve optimum tenderness and keep the juice inside, rest the meat after cooking and give it a minute or two before slicing. Slice it across the strands of meat so get a tender piece.

How Do Chinese Restaurants Tenderize Meat?

If you are a frequent patron at a Chinese restaurant, for sure you’ve experienced eating dishes with very tender meat prepared by the restaurants. And their secret to having very tender meat texture is called velveting. It involves marinating the meat in a mixture of cornstarch, rice wine, egg whites, salt, sugar, and sometimes soy sauce for approximately 30-45 minutes.

Then the meat is simmered in water or warm oil for 30-45 seconds or until almost cooked. This method ensures that the meat achieves a velvety texture. The water method is recommended if you’re planning to cook in advance and keep the meat for later consumption. This way ensure the meat still stay tender and juicy.

Wrapping Up

Having the most tender piece of meat is made easy with our best meat tenderizer list. There are many types of tenderizers and brands to choose from but we sort out the top quality ones for your convenience so you do not need to get confused on which one to pick.

From our list, our top picks are OXO SoftWorks and KLEMOO because they are two different types of meat tenderizers that function very well with its advantages. They both have high user rating and feedback and prove to be very worth it. Both are very easy to use and works very well with any meat.

[foodreceipe]

In times of great uncertainty, knowing how to make your own bread and thereby feed your family, is palpably reassuring. The very act of kneading dough is calming, like Play-Doh for adults. So, of course, newbie bakers are all over social media, obsessing about “bubbling mothers” (AKA sourdough starters).

 Look a little closer, though, and they’re not very happy. “We are all baking bread and some of us are not so good at it,” tweeted  one journalist, dejectedly. That’s because sourdough is high-maintenance baking. People write memoirs about mastering the technique. By contrast, watching Noji Gaylard making South African steamed bread (see below) is like hugging a baby. Three minutes and 30 seconds of pure calm. Her recipe, alongside the others included in our 10 basic breads, is easy enough for even the most inexperienced baker.

 But first a note about yeast.  As Adrian Chiles has noted, it was stockpiled right off all the shelves earlier this year. So, if you do have any, set aside a portion of whatever leavened dough you make to leaven the next (variously called  old dough and  pâte fermentée; you’ll find plenty of instructions for this online). And, if you don’t, you could try making your own yeast. Lisa Bedford, the self-styled Survival Mom,  has written a really thorough how-to. I appreciate that making your own yeast somewhat negates the premise of this piece, but you’ve got to admit it’s awesome that you can.

 Also, reserve any pasta or potato cooking water for your bread baking. As  Nigella tweeted: “It will help the bread’s texture and rise.”

Flatbreads

 At its simplest, a flatbread is flour and water mixed into a dough, rolled into balls, rested, flattened and griddled. Dan Lepard  tweeted the basic ratio: 500g of any wheat flour (white, wholemeal, self-raising, plain) to 300g cold water. Add some form of oil to the mix, and you get everything from  chapatis and rotis (  Meera Sodha fills hers with coconut, raisins and almonds) to  tortillas and  lavash.  Jamie Oliver switches things up a bit, using yoghurt, self-raising flour and a little baking powder, and cooks with griddle pan over a high heat. Elsewhere, his  coconut flatbreads are made with just coconut milk and self-raising flour and fried in butter.

Quick Bread

 AKA batter bread, this is the base recipe used in such things as apple bread, banana bread and the French  savoury cake studded with everything from bacon and olives. You mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) with wet ingredients (milk/buttermilk/yoghurt, oil and eggs) and flavour it any way you like.  Kristin “Baker Bettie” Hoffmann gives you every option thinkable: sweet, savoury, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and without baking powder (she separates the eggs, and whips the whites to get the rise needed). Texture-wise, this is more on the muffin/cake side of things, so if that’s not what you’re after, read on.

Soda Bread

 The original no-kneader, and  as Chiles put it last week, a gift to the yeastless. The rise comes from bicarb, so that ingredient is a must, but flour-wise it’s flexible:  wholemeal, oatmeal,  rolled oats,  plain,  self-raising,  rye or whatever mixture you can manage. Liquid-wise, milk, yoghurt, buttermilk, Nigella’s pasta water: they’ll all work, too. You’ll want a dollop of salt and sweetness (honey, soft brown sugar); Chiles flavours his with treacle and Marmite, and nothing has ever endeared a columnist to me more. And there’s nothing to say you can’t jazz it up further: Oliver puts  dark chocolate and hazelnuts in his.

No-Knead Crusty Loaf

 The New York Times calls  this the world’s easiest yeasted loaf; a step-up from the already groundbreaking  easy method devised by Jim Lahey (if you’re a budding bread person, I recommend his books). You mix plain flour with yeast, salt and lukewarm water into a loose dough, cover and let rise for two to five hours. Then you shape it and bake it. The crustiness comes from having a broiling panful of water – or a few ice cubes – in the bottom of the oven to steam the loaf while it cooks.

Pitta

 Putting yeast in a wheaten flatbread essentially means it can puff up while baking, to create those soft pockets so perfect for picnics. Yotam Ottolenghi puts  sugar in his dough and seven spices in his chicken filling, and, well, what more could you want? Although it is technically possible to make them completely lean,  Felicity Cloake doesn’t recommend it: the fat contributes to flavour and shelf-life.

Hard Dough Bread

 A  Jamaican speciality, this is a plain-flour yeasted dough, enriched with butter and sugar. It takes a short knead (you want the dough nice and elastic) and a 45-minute rest. You then roll it out flat with a rolling pin and – to give it that moist, dense crumb – roll it right back up again into a tight log, tucking the ends in (DaJen Eat’s Jen and her grandmother Cynthia  will show you how). Then, after a short rest, it is baked golden brown in a loaf pan.

Steamed Bread

 The one loaf you don’t need an oven for. This South African beauty involves mixing a very sticky batter of plain flour, salt, sugar, yeast (no oil) and lukewarm water in a bowl with a wooden spoon. (  Gaylard’s demo is quite possibly the most mesmerising cooking video I’ve ever come across. It’s now my lockdown backdrop.) Cover with a lid to let it rest, then beat it once more and let it rest again. Pour into a buttered bowl and place in a large pot for which you have a lid, with enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of your bowl, adding water when necessary to keep the steam going. It is cooked when, as with a cake, a knife stuck into the centre comes out clean.

Maple Oat Breakfast Bread

This takes a couple more ingredients (maple syrup and rolled oats) and an overnight rest (eight hours or more), but it makes,  as Food52 notes,  darn good toast. Much like in soda bread, the oats impart a welcome  bite. As with the no-knead crusty loaf, you’ll need an oven-safe  heavy-based pot with a lid to achieve consistent, high heat and a good  seal so the moisture doesn’t escape.

Focaccia

Nigel Slater once said that he thought focaccia was the bread to attempt first, before any trad white loaf. “A batch rarely fails.” Now most recipes will ask for strong white bread flour and/or 00 flour (used for making pasta). But  Marcella Hazan makes hers with plain flour, and she’s not someone to mess with. You’ll need a good amount of olive oil (  River Cottage uses 150ml), some flaky salt and something like a baking stone – a heavy cookie sheet will do.

Bagels

 Surprisingly easy to make at home,  as Jennifer Garner demos in episode 15 of her aptly named Pretend Cooking show. Sure, there is the extra step of poaching before you bake, but you can use  plain flour and honey for the dough (or  strong bread flour and malt syrup, if you want to be fancy). Food52’s Kenzi Wilbur says the hardest part is waiting an excruciating 30 minutes once you have removed them from the oven. But I’ve never known anyone able to resist freshly baked anything, so why would you even attempt to do that here? Butter at the ready …

7 Steps To Reduce AGEs and Slow Aging

Eat real food.

Processed foods usually have all of their fiber clean out of them and are very soft, meaning that your body breaks them down quickly - and uses them quickly, too.

Processed foods also generally have sugar (which binds to proteins to create AGEs) added to them to make them taste better - and boy, are some processed foods delicious as a result! They taste good now, but God forbid you ever get sick when you're older - you're going to wish you'd eased up on the GoGurt and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

Stay away from anything that has comes packaged with more than 1 INGREDIENT. Yes, I'm serious. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but for the most part, you will be much better off if you eat foods in their natural, singular form.

Chicken? From chemical/hormone-free pastures... 1 ingredient. GOOD

Beef? From pastured-raised cattle... 1 ingredient. GOOD

Chicken Nuggets? Made in a factory. Upwards of 20 ingredients and tons of allergens, chemicals, and "mechanically separated chicken". AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Hot Dogs? Made in a factory. Bare minimum of 5 ingredients, but usually many more. Heavily processed and full of chemicals, fillers, etc. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Rice? Made in Rice Paddies....1 ingredient. GOOD

Beans/Lentils? Grows Naturally in Plants...1 ingredient. GOOD

100% Whole Wheat Bread?Made in a factory. Anywhere from 5-35 ingredients... AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Eat as much as you cook in a broth or soup - or eat steamed, boiled, or raw.

There are tons of delicious slow-cooker recipes out there, and many more soups, stews, porridges and other dishes that don't require you to brown the proteins of the food you're eating.

The ancillary benefits of eating raw vegetables, fish (or even beef tartare) are many - you don't soften your food, so your body takes longer to digest it, and you don't cook any nutrients or enzymes out of your food.

Also, you can significantly lower natural inflammation in your muscles, joints and organs by eating more vegetables and un-browned proteins and less anti-nutrient laden grains like corn, wheat, and processed flours.

Note that the raw veggies we discussed earlier (that are unsafe to eat raw) should be steamed, boiled, or cooked on low heat with a fatty substance like coconut oil or butter to allow for proper absorption of nutrients.

Eat less sugar.

If you're currently consuming large amounts of sugar - whether through your food (candies, baked goods, too much fruit, etc.) or through beverages (soda pop, juice, beer and wine) - you're taking in too much sugar, and your body is being forced to produce too many AGE products.

Your body will use as much sugar as it can for energy, but at some point, it won't be able to use the rest.

These free-floating sugars in your bloodstream will find themselves a nice, unassuming protein to latch on to and turn into an AGE product. This is in addition to the fact that extra sugar that cannot be used for energy is likely to be stored entirely as fat.

Eat fewer carbohydrates. Carbohydrates - even whole grains - are broken down into sugar by your metabolism.

Your body will however much carbohydrate it can and the rest will turn into fat and/or attack your proteins.

On a somewhat relieving note, the more complex a carbohydrate, the longer it takes your body to digest it.

Because these carbohydrates break down slowly, it gives your body a chance to use them as energy as they become available (assuming you're active), which will produce less waste AGE products.

Drink less coffee or swap it completely for tea. Yes, it's hard to believe anyone could suggest this, but it's true (especially me...I LOVE coffee). Coffee is roasted. At a high heat. Which means it's loaded with AGE products.

If you're also the type of person that adds in AGE-loaded creamer, milk and/or sugar, then for you, "the best part of waking up" may actually be a steaming cup of poison.

For starters, drink your coffee black! I personally am a walking zombie without coffee, so I have 1 cup in the morning and make sure I don't add any sugar or allergy-inducing milk. Besides the benefits of less AGEs, one cup of "clean" black coffee ensures that I'm not adding unnecessarily to my waistline. (I'll occasionally mix with coconut oil and/or grass-fed butter if I'm fasting in the morning.)

On the same token, have ONLY 1 cup a day, just in the morning to get you going. The rest of the day, drink one of the many varieties of tea. You'll still get some caffeine, but you won't be pumping yourself full of AGEs (and furthering your caffeine addiction).

I personally used to have upwards of 3 cups a day, but I now feel much better, relaxed, and focused with 1 morning cup and then 1-2 healthy cups of tea. Try it for yourself...it works.

Make the switch to green tea All teas are generally healthy for you, but green tea has tons of added benefits. Not only is it a well-known superfood (it seems like scientists are discovering something amazing about green tea every other week), it's also an excellent natural fat-burner.

Best part? It's been shown that green tea slows your body's natural glycation process, which means you create less AGEs during your metabolic process.

There's green tea leaf extract in the InvigorateNOW supplement so you should be covered...but extra green tea can't hurt, and it tastes awesome, so go for it!

Avoid food cooked on high heat.I'll admit, BBQ chicken, wings, and cajun-blackened Salmon are some of life's greatest pleasures. But food cooked at that high of a heat - anything seared, blackened, braised, etc. - is overflowing with AGE products. Have these only on special occasions (in other words, when your mom makes BBQ chicken and you haven't seen her in 3 months, eat the chicken!). The rest of the time, cook with water-based methods and you'll be fine.

Cook food low and slow. You don't have to give up cooked meat! Here's the thing to remember: Higher temperatures will create more AGE products, and lower temperatures will create less.

There's no "magic number" of AGE products you should or shouldn't eat - you should just be doing your best to lower the amount you take in, as much and as often as possible.

Whenever possible, bake meats at a lower heat with some water in the pan, rather than broiling or pan-frying in high heat.

Use water as a medium.AGEs will not be created when you cook with water.

Learn to eat your steaks rare or medium-rare (this means they've been cooked to a lower temperature, and I personally think this tastes better anyway) rather than ordering it "well done."

Try various stews, curries, soups, and more

Pro-tip: There are tons of delicious Thai and Indian recipes that are cooked in either water or coconut milk. The liquids should help drastically cut out AGE formation.

Here's the bottom line...

If you EAT REAL FOOD, keep the amount of high-heat cooked foods in your diet low, and the amount of liquid-based foods high, you're unlikely to be taking in dangerous levels of AGE products.

Things I Bought to Save Money

That sounds counter-intuitive, but part of saving money is shopping with intention. I’m not talking about just intending to go shopping and then spending money; I mean thinking purchases through, evaluating if the short term cost would have long term benefits. 

To make it on this list, the items had A) be used for something I would have spent money on anyway and B) had to see somewhat regular use. No one-time only products here. 

I saved up for every one of these, but they were worth it. 

1) A mini-washing machine. This is sometimes known as a camping washing machine or countertop washing machine. It’s as small as the name implies. They cost anywhere from 20 to 50+. Ebay has a ton of them with different functions and sizes. 

Why I bought it when I’m broke af: I live in an apartment with no washer/dryer hookups. There is a laundromat across the street and a few units in my apartment building, but to wash and dry one load of laundry I paid 3.50 (I often had more than one) and had to compete with a lot of other people for space. 

How it worked out: The thing paid for itself within two months. I had it for two years before it finally conked out and I had to buy another. 

2) A clothes drying rack. Mine cost 7 euro. Your cost may vary.

Why: Goes along with the mini washing machine. I hang up the wash in front of the radiator in the winter (it’s going anyway) or outside in the summer. Saves a ton in a very short period of time, and will last you for years. 

3) A ton of baking soda/vinegar

Why: Baking soda/vinegar are great for lot of reasons. Have a clogged drain? These work. Need to scrub your counters? These work. Accidentally left your clothes wet too long? Vinegar. Want shiny hair? Vinegar. Want to make a mug cake? Well, of course you’ll need baking soda. You can also find instructions online toward turning baking soda into washing soda and making your own laundry detergent, but that’s another post. 

4) A hot water bottle. You don’t actually have to buy one. Filling up a two liter with hot (not boiling, just hot) water works just as well. 

Turn down the heat to save costs, night or day. Before you get in bed, heat up the water, put it in the bottle, and be toasty. During the day I have an old blanket I sewed in half that I toss the bottle into the bottom of. 

5) A bike. Obviously this depends on where you live, but having to commute every day without a car was hard. A bike fixed that and is extremely low-maintenance. Buy used. 

6) The cheapest yoga mat I could find. I think it was 7 Euro three years ago. I’ll admit I got very lucky with that. There are a lot of videos online these days. I highly recommend anything from FitnessBlender, which is high quality and no cost to you. Working out at home (yoga for me was a game-changer in this chaotic budget life) even for five minutes a day reduces stress and saves gym fees. You don’t need a mat if you have a carpet, but the core message is the same: work out at home, not the gym. 

7) A Neti pot. This thing isn’t actually called neti, but it’s the same principle: you wash out your sinuses to prevent infections. I’m prone to that kind of thing seasonally, and being pretty regular with it has saved me money, misery, and time by eliminating doctor’s visits. Make you own saline solution with very simple recipes online. Nothing complicated about it. 

8) Gardening supplies. This can get very costly if you don’t keep an eye on it. However, a simple balcony garden in the spring, summer, and fall can supplement your food budget for months. Add a few flowers for fun and herbs for taste if you can afford it. Starting from seeds is the cheapest route. Using seeds from fruits and veggies you’ve already purchased and sorted is the cheapest. Gardening as also been proven to lower stress levels significantly. No room? A couple of plants on a window or in a tiny patch of earth you find is equally good. 

9) Good scissors.  Watch youtube and go on pinterest to find out how to cut your own hair. Man or woman, a good hair cutting utensil will pay for itself within one or two uses. Just keep the cuts relatively basic. If you aren’t able to do your own or don’t trust your hands to be steady, enlist somebody’s help. It just takes a few minutes. 

10) A mini-oven. Ignore this if you have a full-sized one, but I didn’t. I was also eating out a lot, which doesn’t work well when you’re on a budget. By learning how to bake my own bread, cake with few ingredients, lasagna, and other recipes, that 40 Euro investment ended up saving me hundreds last year, and in fact varied my diet greatly. Roast chicken. Yum. 

What have you bought to save yourself money?

How to shave your vagina

How to Shave Your Pubic Hair

Some people, including both men and women, don't enjoy having hair on their genitals. This is completely normal, but if you've never shaved this area before, read down below to see the safest way to complete this task.

Part 1   Getting Razor-Ready

1

Pre-trim your pubic hair. Razors are designed to shave fairly short hair and will quickly clog and become dull if applied to long hair. To trim it, gently pull the hair up, away from your body and then cut it back with small, sharp scissors, preferably clippers, along with some equipped with safety guards. Alternatively, use an electric scissor-action trimmer without rotating heads. Aim for hair that is shorter than 1/4" (0.6 cm).

If you are new to pubic shaving, you may want to leave your hair short for a couple of days, as this will allow you to get used to the feeling of being bare down there.

Trimming your hairs with scissors or small clippers is ok to do too, but some people become nervous when having such items near such a tender part of your body. If you aren't comfortable with using any of these, try electric razors. They are specifically designed to shave these kinds of hairs without getting too close to cut your skin.

2

Soften your hair and hair follicles by taking a hot shower or bath. This will make the coarse pubic hair a lot easier to shave off. It may seem like a non-necessary step, but it'll make the somewhat lengthy process much more manageable.

If you don't have time to take a hot shower or bath, simply run a washcloth under warm water and place it on your area and let it sit for about five minutes.

It's important to exfoliate both before and after shaving because it will help all of the hairs get properly aligned outwards while stripping away the dead skin, allowing for a closer shave and reducing the chances of the razor catching and scratching you.

3

Foam up to avoid irritation. Use unscented shaving foam, cream, or gel to lather your pubic hair. It is recommended that you use shaving foam or cream that is designed for shaving pubic hair rather than facial hair.

Always test the shaving cream on another part of your body before you start applying it to your pubic hair, as some people suffer from allergic reactions to certain products.

Just because a product is marketed to females doesn't mean it's only usable by those of the fair sex. Shaving cream for women is generally gentler than men's. Moreover, men's shaving cream is often scented, which can lead to irritation and painful stinging.

Part 2   Getting the Best Shave

1

Choose your razor. When buying a razor, it doesn't matter which brand or what style it is. They are all designed to get the job done. Make sure that you pick one that is gentle on your skin so that your area won't react as badly with it as it would with a harsh razor.

When buying razors, it is ideal to get ones that are to be specifically used on parts of the body. For example, if you buy two razors, one could be used for shaving your pubic area and one could be used for shaving your underarms.

Make sure that when you use any razor, you dry it. Leaving a razor wet causes the blades to dull, which will make shaving difficult.

2

Stretch your skin tight. If it's loose, you'll end up cutting yourself. Razors perform best on skin that is somewhat flat and doing so will help remove the hair easier.

Make sure that you know what parts you are going to shave. Are you allowed to shave? Is it safe for your skin? Make sure that you are completely sure you want to do this before you begin.

3

Shave slowly and gently. To start off, is a great idea to shave slowly and with the grain. All this means is that if your hair grown downward, shave downward. This will help prevent irritation. Shaving against the grain is not a good idea when first starting off because doing so causes rashes and itchiness.

Another idea is to shave from side to side. This way, your skin will get more used to the feel of a razor on your private parts.

Do not over-shave. Shave an area only as much as you need to remove the hair. If you go over it too many times, it will become inflamed.

In the early stages of shaving, you will probably find that shaving your pubic hair two days in a row causes red bumps and/or itching. Skip several days between shaves until your skin grows used to the change.

4

Consider shaving your nether regions. Yes, hair grows on your bum too. You can shave this too, just make sure to be very gentle because it's not too easy to see where you will be shaving.

You can always shave over one last time, just make sure not to press down too hard to prevent inflammation.

If you are considering removing all of your hair, know that having none can increase your chances of getting and spreading an STD or two (namely, HPV and molluscum contagiosum).

5

Clean up. Always make sure that you clean up your mess. Even if you don't care about all those hairs now, they build up later.

Part 3   Avoiding the Redness and Itch

1

Exfoliate to keep your skin clean. This removes all the dead skin on the surface after shaving in addition to lining up your hairs and helping to prevent them from becoming ingrown. With your normal body soap, gently cleanse your pubic area. This will help to remove anything that might block your pores and lead to ingrown hairs and resulting infections.

Use a sugar scrub as your exfoliate to leave your skin smooth. If you don't have that, you can always make a paste with baking soda, which will get the job done too.

If you are a woman, do not get soap beyond your labia. Your vagina is naturally regulated by your body and doesn’t need to be cleansed with anything other than water. In fact, soaps often upset the pH balance (natural bacteria) making the vagina more susceptible to infection.

2

Use Egg Oil. Egg oil contains several bio-actives which prevent infections or inflammations and help the irritated skin recover faster to it's original shape.

Massage egg oil well into the shaved area twice a day for a week.

Leave it on until your next shower. There is no necessity to wash it off as it is easily absorbed into the skin.

3

Rinse off any remaining pubic hair, gently pat dry, and moisturize. Aloe Vera, baby oil, or moisturizers designed for sensitive areas can be used. Egg oil containing immunoglobulins can avoid rashes due to micro-abrasions. Avoid moisturizers that may contain fragrances and coloring agents.

No matter what you use, just make sure that it's unscented and it isn't full of possibly irritating perfumes.

1

Take care if powdering the area. Powders absorb the sweat and oil around the pubic area, which can reduce irritation and bumpiness. However, extra care must be taken not to get any of this powder onto the very sensitive areas of the vagina or penis. Moreover, you should avoid smothering the skin, which can clog pores and may encourage pimples.

Women should never put talc on their genital areas, as this is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. In fact, talc is no longer used to dry-lubricate surgical gloves because it is believed to become toxic when applied to mucosal tissues.

2

Go over the area with tweezers. If your razor misses a few hairs, simply pluck them out. Make sure to do it gently, not forcefully.
