Earlier this year I kept seeing ads for a potency testing device. I saw the ads enough that I was finally like, ok, I’ll bite. Because who DOESN’T want to know how potent their homemade edibles are? That’s probably the biggest downfall of making edibles at home: not knowing precisely how potent or not your final product is. I’ll be posting a longer review about the actual device in a couple of weeks, but in
I want to talk about an ingredient that has become an essential staple in my kitchen: compound butter. This is what takes the gorgeous cuts of beef I pick up at the butcher shop from good enough to great. A big fat scoop of the Kitchenista’s Citrus and Herb Butter on top of my filet is damn near my favorite thing I have been making lately. What is compound butter? Compound butter is butter that
Sometimes you just want an easy edible that you don’t have to think a lot about. I hear you. The last few weeks that’s about all I’ve been able to manage. Between seasonal depression and also the never-ending poo storm that is society compounded with the pandemic, it’s been a miracle I’ve showered nearly every day. Some days that’s all I can accomplish. I’ve seen a lot of folks around the interwebs infusing snacks that
I’m a daily cannabis user, and as of March 2017, a total treadmill and gym enthusiast. I know it probably sounds antithetical, to the uninformed, to be both a daily user and gym rat, but here I am. And I’m not alone. Anecdotally, many cannabis-friendly folks have commented that getting high to workout can help you push harder, with less injury. I would testify to that myself, except I haven’t worked out sober since college
Is there anything more comforting than a big ass bowl of something hot and cheesy? Don’t answer. I already know. The answer is no. I’ve been feeling some kind of way about this beer and gouda soup from this restaurant down the street from me and I just knew it needed to be recreated with a cannabis-infused twist. I picked up a can of CERIA Indiewire IPA from the dispensary and got to work. The
When I was younger, I used to think that cannabis was cannabis. It was either good shit or bad shit. You got lit or you didn’t. There were no choices. It was whatever your dude was able to get that week. That was back in the good old days which are still very much the current realities for a lot of people in the US. Also one of the many reasons I live in Colorado
The holidays, and winter time, means a lot of people are giving copious amounts of love to hot drinks. Not me. I’m a little warm almost all of the time. The last thing I want is a hot beverage. Save the steam, Carol. Ice it or dump it out. (Side note, I will occasionally make an exception for a sleepy time tea and hot chocolate but I usually let my tea go cold). The other
I’m not really one of those “new year, new me” types of people. To be honest, I find it tiring to be expected to give yourself a fresh start, a new diet, a new workout routine all because it’s the first of the year. Every day can be the start of a new year. However, I also feel like 2020 kicked my ass just like it kicked everyone’s asses. It was exhausting emotionally, physically, and
Usually, around this time of year, I’m … well alone-ish. Until recently, Geoff and I didn’t have any friends here in Colorado Springs. Since we’re transplants from out of state, most of our friends and family live up and down the east coast. Compound that with the fact that we both work from home and I have thoughts about the type of people who participate in group hobbies for grown-ups (mainly that the type of
It might be too late for a Christmas Day delivery but it’s not too late to send some Colorado themed cheer to your favorite mountain-loving and cannabis smoking patron of locally made goods. I too have become a patron of locally crafted food, clothing, accessories, and decor since the start of the pandemic. So I have curated a list of perfectly easy, sure to please gift ideas from local makers from around Colorado. Including some of my
