Halocho #673 - Breaking things on Shabbat

One should not break or cut items on Shabbat, with the exception of food.

Even items that are only fit for animals to eat may be cut or broken. Thus, one may break a piece of straw to make a toothpick.

One may rub or break spices in order to extract their fragrance, even if they are as hard as wood.

Halocho #249 - Noshing on Shabbat

One should try say 100 Brachot daily. On a regular weekday this happens if one prays all 3 prayers and says ones blessing over food.

On Shabbat the shorter Amida means one is missing 29 Brachot.

One way to complete the quota is to eat fruit and treats between meals, and smell spices.

One also fulfills Oneg Shabbat - enjoying Shabbat - this way.
