Note:  In the State of California, you must be 18 & over for medical marijuana and 21 & over for recreational marijuana.  Check your legality of cannabis

You will need:

Special Butter:

• 3.5 grams of ground Bloom Farms Skunk Berry Ultra-Premium Hybrid ( you can use your own choice)
• 10 T of Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter
• Small pan
• Big dining fork to stir

1. Lightly melt butter in pan on medium heat.
2. Add ground Bloom Farms and stir.
3. Bring down heat.  Butter cannot sizzle or bubble.  You just want to get the oils out of your cannabis.
4. Do this for about an hour.  Be sure to watch it!
5. After about an hour, your butter should be a dark green, not a brown.  Brown is too much!
6. You can use your butter right away or store in container in the fridge.  Eric used an empty jar.

Fact:  Eric uses cannabis in place of pain killers due to injuries from the Marine Corps.

Note:  I did not have all the ingredients I wanted to use.  I would have liked to make Joan Nathan’s Matzo Balls recipe from the New York Times.  Plus I had already bought the Lipton Mix which turned out to be just fine!  👍🏻

Fact:  My first time making Matzo Ball Soup.  Both Eric and I loved it! 😋  What was Sebastian Maniscalco taking about when he said the Jewish people have no cuisine?  😆  He’s my favorite comedian!  I lived in Arlington Heights, IL at one time where he is from.

Fact:  These are a few of  Eric ‘s favorite munchies and cervezas! 🍺

Note:  I was super excited to see HARIBO Smurfs!  I’ve never been so excited about GUMMIES before!  Fantastical!  🤪

Fact:  GUMMI CANDY and soda is  Eric ‘s favorite candy combo!  

Note:  We could and are going to eat sandwiches everyday!  We are thinking about baking our own bread from scratch……

Fact:  Heading to the Costco Business Center tomorrow! 👍🏻

We used the second crust from Take a Bite Out of This! 🤪 Pizza Pizza! to make this stuffed pizza.  We coated the pan and crust, layered half the pizza crust and folded it over and under.  Enjoyed it with Parmesan Cheese and red pepper flakes!

Note:  Super delish! 😋

Fact:  My first time accomplishing a stuffed pizza.  Tried it one other time. 👍🏻
