While I am leaning towards sex, any thing that you felt that spiced up your life works B-)

    Usually salt, black pepper, red pepper, cumin, cardamom, dried hot chilies, cinnamon, coriander, and mace.

    Often herbs as well.

    Usually you want to dry roast them together first.

      Instead of dry roast try adding just a bit of neutral vegetable oil. It will bring out more flavor.

        Depending on the exact part of life that I want to spice up, clarified butter is nice.

        Mmmmm, butter.

      Garlic powder! How is that not listed? You are not doing a good spicing up

        I think of garlic as being more herb-like than spice. Same with caramelized onions.

    Get a motorcycle. Ok, so if you don’t know how to ride, get a cheap second hand bike under 600cc and take the MSF Basic Rider course. Guaranteed to spice up your life, give you a desire to get out of the house, and you’ll meet many cool people.

    I quit my steady job, broke up with my beloved gf of many years, moved back to my home country and am living with my dad.

    Just started a new job. Spicy.

        My family was a mess in my home country and my siblings were doing heavy lifting without me. Also, despite the strong love between us we had language issues and I was slowly retreating into my own head abroad.

        (imagine: if every ounce of wit or humour you had, fell on deaf ears, or had to be explained, or said less elegantly. A piece of you dies every time.)

        I think I would have resented her if we started a family, as I likely would have gone into full autopilot. I wish I was born there, or that she was born here. We really could have been happy if it weren’t for the communication barrier. She still means the world to me, and I just want her to be happy.

    if you ever are feeling depressed/hopeless, go sit on the grass in a cemetery for a good minute. then visit a hospice, then visit a retirement home.

    if you ever dont feel like doing some chore around the house, try doing it blindfolded or without your hands. it becomes awesome and hilarious.

    if you find yourself trapped in a conversation, throw in a totally unrelated quote.

    if someone is being mean to you, say their name and then stay silent.

    oh and for sex stuff, be unpredictable and enthusiastic. many people are just missing FUN.

    I got a better paying job. Pretty much every aspect of my life has since improved.

    Frugal challenges, forcing myself to use my bicycle instead of my car where possible, declutter my belongings (why do I even have all this crap I never touched for the last year?!) and trying out weird things in general at least once (like throwing things at the wall and see what sticks).

    As far as doin’ it goes, I opened up my mind to trying almost ANYTHING once, twice to make sure I don’t like it. I’ve found I like… almost everything. Hard no: Poo, vomit, farting, genital pain/mutilation.

    I’m usually a shut-in due to my studies so to spice things up I go out and chat with strangers and become friends. I never talk to them again though so they just leave. After a few months I go out again and the cycle continues. Keeps me down to earth. Keeps me sane.
