    Mason Ellis = Jacques Pépin ! YES, do a cooking video ! :) But Dang skippy at the 2:52 mark while cutting the celery and pulling the knife back NEVER put your left arm/hand in that position unless someday you want it to slip and you cut your hand off as well. There's got to be a better way. I'm sure you'll figure it out. 🤣 Anyways, you're looking good mason ! Stay happy and healthy and successful. :)

    Just a heads up...I had some baby carrots in the freezer (the dog eats them for treats). However, a few months later (I was in Canada and didn't give them to her in the winter--too cold for frozen treats) and they were bad. So I looked them up. They are indeed carrots, but because they're now only the cut sides, they’re more prone to drying out and developing carrot blush, a thin white film that forms due to dehydration. Not to mention they’re actually pretty expensive. It takes two minutes to cut your own carrots. Seriously. You can enjoy better tasting carrots, save money, and avoid supporting an industry obsessed with promoting false vegetable beauty standards if you just buy a bag of “adult” carrots and cut them yourself. It’ll take two minutes-less time than you spent reading this article.! By the way, I have the same OCD-type pattern...LOL.' I cut my cauliflower and broccoli like you...take off the stems...but the florets actually just come out by taking the individual stems off.

      @@masonx54 vegetables and especially fruit maintain regularity. Now you might not like what I'm about to say but you obtain very little micronutrients from fruits and veggies because they're bound with so called oxillates making them indigestible. The only way to obtain sufficient digestible micronutrients is from internal organ meats such as liver, kidney, tripe, heart etc. I was disappointed when I recently learned about it. But keep eating those fruits and veggies for the sake of regularity
