@macha No wonder they have been so insert word I can't think of that makes sense here recently.

@macha Good luck! I wish you all the success.

Meatball Stroganoff

Italian style meatballs (enough to cover the base of the pan)
1+ Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil - just enough to brown up the meatballs
2 cups beef broth
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp each - parsley, oregano, basil
1 cup sour cream
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Wide egg noodles

Start off with frozen Italian-style meatballs and brown them in a little olive oil in a black iron skillet.

After they are browned up nicely, deglaze the pan with about 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil. Season generously with salt and pepper, dried herbs (parsley, oregano, basil). When it starts reducing, add about 2/3 cup sour cream, the cream cheese, and about a cup of heavy whipping cream and bring to a boil to allow it to thicken.

Meanwhile, boil water in a separate pot and add the wide egg noodles. Boil until they are still just a bit al dente, drain briefly and add to the simmering sauce. They will finish cooking in the sauce and also soak up a lot of that goodness.

It's aged in port barrels. It's nummy.

But it was Angels' Envy.

Worth it.

@ganymede Season 3 is already in the works...and in the news, as DC apparently told the writers they couldn't have Batman going down on Catwoman...

@sunny Great, thanks again for all the information! It's really a big help.

@sunny said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

Indica is "take that, go to sleep", so be aware that a nap might be your end result.

Yeah, the Indica one we got was specifically for trying to help me sleep better. The rest are all Sativa/Hybrid. We got a few different things to try. Gummies, Chocolate..etc.

Thanks for the suggestions on the dosages and how I should figure out the right one. I probably would have tried taking 1.5 of the dose next time, and then if I didn't notice anything taken another one after 2 hours as you said since that is what was suggested to us.

I really appreciate the information as a definite newb in this whole thing.

EDIT: As an example, these are some of the things we got:

edibles that don't have a specific strain noted on them.

Thanks for the information! That is actually really helpful so I know what to expect for next time.

The edibles we have do have strains associated with them. We have a couple that is Sativa, a couple that is Indica, and some that are hybrid. The one we took was either a hybrid or Sativa (I don't recall off the top of my head).

Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway.

So, over the weekend the wife and I decided to try some legal recreational THC. Neither of us has ever tried it before, and she is allergic to smoke so we opted to go for edibles.

So we each tried a 10mg square of infused chocolate and waited.

Maybe 10mg isn't enough, even though the guy at the dispensary said that was the normal dose, at least for newbies like us, but I don't think I felt any effects? What is it that /should/ happen? Can someone who is more of an expert on these things give me more of an idea of what it is I should have felt if/when things 'work'? Just so I know for when I try again with maybe 15mg or 20mg?

Frog Leap Studios - I love me some metal covers and this guy is just amazing.

Seconded... His cover of Sultans of Swing drew me in, and I was hooked.

@tnp That was kind of my reaction. I honestly wasn't sure if I was feeling something or if my mind was just thinking it was feeling something the night of, but I was fine the next day save for the sore arm.

Just got my tax bill. I have no idea how I am going to pay what they say I owe, let alone how they expect me to also pay the same amount for next year's 'estimated' tax.

I can barely make it week to week due to the crippling debt my wife's medical condition a couple of years ago left us in, there is nothing left over to save anything after I pay all the monthlies. We take no allowances and put extra money in towards taxes each paycheck...and we still owe thousands? And I used to get money back until the glorious 'tax cuts' two years ago... And even if I find some way to pay this, and pay the 'estimated' over the next year I don't see a way to change our withholdings so this doesn't happen yet again. I don't have extra $$ to withhold from my paycheck, and certainly not an extra thousand or so it seems to want me to take out.

If I didn't have a family that needs me and/or wouldn't invalidate my life insurance I would probably just go jump off a roof at this point. I honestly see no way out of this save for some massive windfall.

@buttercup I vaguely recall that, but only vaguely. I was Cairo at the time. If anything only the name brings up recollections of something around it, so I don't remember any specifics.
