My Top Five "Munchies"

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:58:26 +0000

With most drugs that you take there are many things that can go wrong, you can overdose and die, you can lose your teeth and you can even get AIDS from shooting with needles. With Marijuana it’s different. Let me start by saying that I smoke Marijuana and I think that is obvious. I use Marijuana like it is intended, call it Medicinal or whatever you want. When I smoke it relieves a ton of stress and makes me enjoy the little things in life. The cup of coffee is better, the TV show is funnier and stressful situations become a little less nerve racking (unless your the paranoid high type). The best part of Marijuana is you can’t die from it, it’s the complete opposite of any other drug; I’ve heard its not addictive either. I believe that to an extent, maybe the Marijuana plant isn’t addictive but the feeling you get from it is. Anyway the worst thing that happens to you is you get the “munchies”. You want to eat everything in your fridge and flavor almost doesn’t matter anymore. However, everyone has their favorite “munchie” snacks. Honestly I can only put one at the top of all the others but I can’t order the other 4. Here are my top 5…

Ice Cream:

Now I know that doesn’t sound too exciting. But at the 7-11 corner store down the street they have this “Drumstick” flavor; it’s just like the dollar “Drumstick” that you loved when you were growing up. It’s a mix of vanilla ice cream with the cone, the nuts, and chocolate all mixed in.

Cereal:

Lucky Charm’s, Choco Puff’s, Cheerios and Fronted Flake’s just to list a few. Half a box gone no problem.

Chinese Food:

Chinese food kind of makes the list in a default. There is nothing better then ordering Chinese food after a nice bowl pack. However, it is a little deceiving. You can eat mounds and mounds of Chinese food but because of the salt content your hungry again 15 minutes later. So not only did you just waste 20 dollars on food for 2 hours you are left feeling extremely full and bloated the next day. Just remember when you order Chinese food to order the same amount you would if you weren’t stoned!!

Pizza:

Can’t go wrong with pizza. Pizza comes in many shapes, styles and whatever topping you want. So if you are an everyday smoker like I am pizza can be an everyday thing as well because it never gets boring. Also it is a great way to keep any fellow smokers you have with you happy as well.

Now my all time favorite “Munchie” food, something you can never go wrong with and I can almost guarantee that you have all the ingredients in your house as you read this article…

Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich:

If you have never had a peanut butter and banana sandwich while high, go pack your bowl and enjoy. If you have had a peanut butter banana sandwich and are high, enjoy.

Buon Appetite!

Bacon Shake…really?

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:40:02 +0000

Yes, really. One of your most “beloved” fast foods – Jack In the Box – is introducing a new milkshake, dubbed Bacon Shake. Huh… what? If it’s for the 15-minutes-of-fame that this hamburger joint wants, they surely are getting the attention.

Okay, so what is in this sounds-like-a-dream-to-savory-ham-lovers shake? It is made of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and “bacon-flavored syrup.” Yes, Virginia, there is no real bacon on this one. You should be glad because adding bacon would have added to this 1,081 calories drink. If you want some bacon on it, you could buy their “BLT Cheeseburger” or their “Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger” and crumble up some of the crispy (are they?) meat in your shake.

How about the taste? Well, one guy tasted it and said it is … “horrific!” At least he got that bacon buzz he’s looking for.

Be brave. Try it. You only live once… You know you want it.

The Willows

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:10:28 +0000

THE WILLOWS.

THE Willows Farm Pub and Restaurant in Annitsford, South-east Northumberland is an establishment, which serves traditional hearty British cuisine and some totally amazing cakes. There is also an extensive children’s menu on offer. Its decor has a typical country kitchen feel with a real fire. The young serving team are excellent, polite, hospitable and they work hard in every area.

I chose the beef carvery for my meal. The beef was cooked to perfection, really tender, juicy and just about falling apart and there were so many vegetables that I really could have done with another plate. My wife opted for the aubergine and mozzarella bake, served with chunky chips and salad.

Anne went for the cool Jamaican ice cream while I had a huge portion of Bailey’s white chocolate cheesecake.

The Willows is open from 11:00 to 23:00 seven days a week with the carvery being on offer from 11:30 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 on Mondays to Fridays and 11:30 to 20:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. It is fully accessible to disabled diners.

How to Make Whipped Cream at Home?

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:41:54 +0000

If you are one of those people who enjoy pleasures really much then you will surely appreciate the virtues of whipped cream. Moreover, whipped cream is really easy to make and you can always have it in your fridge at your disposal to make a hot moment even hotter or create an amazing dessert in no time.

You should start slowly and gradually increase the speed of whipping for the best results and in order to prevent the cream from becoming buttery or from curdling.
What are you going to need?
First of all, you need to supply yourself with cream which has a fat content of at least 35%. If you have chosen to make whipped cream you should not start worrying about calories. It is better to find a way to burn them later instead of trying to cut on them when making the cream. You also need about 35 grams of powdered sugar.
The cream can easily be whipped manually but it will take a lot of time and effort. If you want to be fast and efficient you should get a cream charger to do the work for you. Both ways you can make perfect whipped cream but you should make sure that everything you use in the process is cold before you start.
Preparations:
One hour before you start making the whipped cream put the whipping utensils and the cream in your fridge. When the utensils and the cream are cold, you can take them out and start making your whipped cream. If you have a lot of time and want to enjoy the process of making whipped cream, do it manually but if you just want to get perfect whipped cream in no time rely on your cream charger for the making. When the cream starts thickening you are ready to add the powdered sugar to it and that is it. Your whipped cream is ready for any use. You can add some vanilla essence if you want additional flavor for your cream. If you are more daring person you can also try adding several drops of your favorite liquor to the whipped cream to make it even more delicious and more interesting. After your whipped cream is ready you should make sure that you serve it no more than two hours after you have made it because otherwise it will start spoiling and it won’t taste as good as it is supposed to.

You, Me, Whipped Cream.

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:15:07 +0000

Even though most people might not be very good cooks whipped cream is something that almost everyone likes. Moreover, it is really easy to make and so tasty that it is surely worth the effort. Whipped cream is smooth, fresh and sweet and can always be present in your fridge ready to be used on all kinds of fruits, on different desserts to make them more appealing or even for fun with a hot date.
Most women worry that good whipped cream is actually a calorie bomb but this is what makes it even more irresistible. Almost everyone knows that whipped cream should be banned from their menu and it should even be a mortal sin a lot like many of the private sensual practices of most people. However, that is what really makes whipped cream and the sensual practices so delightful – you know that they are forbidden so they become double enjoyable at once!
The history of the whipped cream (Crème a la Chantilly in French)
Like almost all of the sins related to food and sex whipped cream or Crème a la Chantilly originates from France. The historians trace back the origins of the whipped cream to 1661 when it August the Vatel proposed an entirely new dessert for an important reception in honor of the king of France Louis XIV. This is when this sensual cream was created for the first time and tasted by a king and all of his court during Molliere’s comedy interludes.
How to make whipped cream on your own?
Making whipped cream is so easy that it makes it even more desirable. The only things you need in order to make your whipped cream and fresh cream and the patience of someone to entertain you while you are making the whipped cream for the entertainment later. With whipped cream, like with women, you should not ever start at full speed. The start should be slow and you should increase the strength very carefully in order to avoid the whipped cream becoming buttery or curdling. If you want to save yourself some effort you can get one of the cream chargers available on the market and ensure you will always have fresh whipped cream in your fridge for special occasions of all kinds.
Basic ingredients:
- 50ml of fresh cream with 35% fat content. When it comes to whipped cream you should not try to count the calories. You better count on burning them later in a delicious way.
- 35g powdered sugar;
You can do the whipping manually but if you want to save your energy for better uses use a cream charger instead. Moreover, a cream charger will greatly speed up the process. However, for the outcome it does not matter that much what you choose – just make sure that the utensils you are going to be using are cold and get to work!
If you want to choose from a wide variety of cream chargers you should visit the link!

Teenager Should Have a Consistant Decision

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 03:45:01 +0000

I don’t know if this topic has been brought up, but i cant help to hiding it myself

In my age, choosing something is hard, although for example it’s between vanilla ice cream or chocolate. Its normal I think, because people at 17 will be labile. I’m not physician so i cant explain it far away medically

This is the problem. The education system in my country doesn’t fit in this modern term. Many students has been learning the unsure thing from the beginning. I mean, teacher only teach the subject, but most of them didn’t help their student to choose what will they be in the future. They aren’t making the subject to be loved by students. Of course it is not 100% teacher’s responsibility, but as the person who meets with them a lot – besides their parents – teacher’s advise might be give a big influence to their student for the rest of the student’s life.

Future need be brightened up and it is built from very early. What i saw is the ironic. My country needs a development from the young generations so badly , but the young generations itself are surrounding by theirs – unnecessary – problem such as what is the news from their idol bands or why their face-book account doesn’t work, or even why their followers from tweeter increasing, etc.

I think, we (all people) should work together to get brighter future.

Role Model: Gordon Tracy of The Thunderbirds

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:15:38 +0000

Gordon Tracy of the Thunderbirds is a role model. He is the pilot of Thunderbird 4, the aquanaut. He loves to swim and at one time was an Olympic swimmer and boat racer. He was born on February 14, 2004 to Jeff and Lucille Tracy.

Gordon studied oceanography and worked for the submarine patrol before International Rescue. He also worked for the World Aquanaut Submarine Patrol or WASP in Marineville. In school, he learned and studied about all the sea creatures as he coded and cataloged them. He loved the water and wanted to learn all about what lied beneath it.

Gordon loves the water and enjoys swimming, skin diving, jet skiing, as well as the occasional wave runner. He loved speeding on the water a little too much, and had a speedboat accident that put him in the hospital for four months. It really shook him up and took him time to get over it. He recovered and learned from his mistakes.

It should be no surprise to anyone that someone who loves the water enjoys eating seafood. Not everything is about water. There is nothing like a good meal including shrimp or lobster, and for dessert – vanilla bean ice cream. He plays the guitar when he has time and loves to hang out with his brothers. He is also quite the practical joker. He enjoys gags and jokes, along with his younger brother Alan.

Getting Away From Routine

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:19:38 +0000

Following are the small tips, which one can use to get away from routine:

If you are working, take 10 – 15 min during your lunch time, to have a small walk with your friends. Buy an ice cream if you wish, notice your surroundings. This will actually refresh you for the rest of your day.
Plan a small trip every alternate weekend. This can be as small as going to a mall and having a lunch together with family or friends.
Has it been a while when you watched a movie with your spouse. It’s not gonna be tough. You actually don’t have to go to a hall for a movie. Download a selected movie on your laptop and watch the movie together arms in arms in your own bed. This will not only save your time but will be a welcome change.
Got 10 min before meeting; call a friend you haven’t talked for some while and catch up.
Get up 15 min early and wake your spouse in the most romantic way. This will set your pace for the entire day and will keep you smiling.
Go hunting for a different recipe and try it out.
Just relax and do nothing. If you are too busy almost all the time, find a day and just don’t do anything. Sit idle, watch the sky, listen to music, enjoy chirping of birds, or spend hours in your shower.
If your organization and funds permit, plan vacations and visit some place.
Get up and go for a relaxed walk early morning. You will be amazed how beautiful things look at that hour of day.
Try exercise once in a while. It will refresh you and will also keep you fit.
