The average Brit drinks 876 cups of tea a year — but not me. Ever. It has made me quite the anomaly at home in England, as I break tea protocol by turning down the offer of a cuppa at people’s houses or by sitting out on tea breaks at work. When friends come to visit they bring their own teabags because they know I’ll never think to make them a brew.

My tea antipathy wasn’t a problem until I moved somewhere I stuck out even more: Turkey. There, people drink almost double the amount of tea as in the U.K. While the English generally offer (or not, in my case) tea when a guest arrives and serve it up quickly, Turks can spin an entire afternoon or evening of it and guests must never see the tea pot run dry.

When I don’t know what to make for dinner, I throw some lentils in the pressure cooker. By the time they’ve finished cooking, I’ve usually figured out what to do with them. And as much as I love lentil soup, I prefer them in other dishes, like tacos, salads, or simply seasoned and topped with an egg. Here’s how to cook lentils with the electric pressure cooker so you can make dinner in a hurry.

Pimiento cheese is a delicious dip in its own right, but it also makes an extraordinary grilled cheese sandwich. A little spicy, a little tangy, and very melty— when spread between two slices of sourdough bread, this is one unforgettable grilled cheese.

How To Make Hot Cross Buns

(Image credit: Quentin Bacon)

We measure many things in the kitchen — we use scales, measuring cups, measuring spoons, liquid measuring cups, and timers all to our advantage — but one tool of measure is often overlooked in building a better tool jar: the ruler.

Now, a ruler isn’t meant to ensure that all your potato cubes are the exact same dimensions (although, good for you if you do try that); instead a nice, straight edge in the kitchen will help you make better sauces and make more consistently shaped, baked, and sliced baked goods.

I’ve eaten lunch at my desk for as long as I can remember. It’s not that I’m too busy to step away; I’ve simply fallen deep into the habit of eating as I work or scroll through the news online.

I know it’s not the best way to eat — I’m not getting much work done, nor am I enjoying my food as much as I could — but I’ve never been able to break the cycle. Until now. Maybe.

How spicy do you like your spicy? Do you collect hot sauce like other people collect Mason jars? Do you live to feel the burn? Well, I have a new challenge for you: Paqui chips have created the world’s deadliest tortilla chip. The chip gets its heat from the Carolina Reaper pepper, which is often thought of as the hottest pepper in the world.

Calling all readers! Do you have a Primal Blueprint Success Story you’d like to share? Then I want to hear from you (and so do the rest of us)! I’ll even give you the shot at winning an awesome prize package.

Write it your story and include a photo. Including both pre-Primal and post-Primal pics is best, but not required. Don’t worry if you’re not sporting a six-pack. This isn’t a “who’s the most ripped” contest. Whether you’ve lost 100 pounds over two years of Primal living or you’ve simply managed to kick that Diet Coke habit, just tell me what going Primal has done for you. I’m looking for interesting and personal stories of all varieties.

You can include details about your health history, how you found MDA and The Primal Blueprint, what has worked and what hasn’t, what differences you’ve seen in how you look and feel, and anything else you think readers might be able to learn from (that you’re open to sharing) are welcome. It doesn’t have to be a thousand word diatribe, but more than a couple paragraphs is best. Feel free to be creative with your story format, too. Remember, good stories usually have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And of course, honesty is king.

If you’ve ever thought about sending in your story but haven’t gotten around to it, then there is no better time than now!
