Stoner Food Reviews, Day 14

Hola, amigos!  Che pasa?  Listening to lots of Spanish music today, or quasi-Spanish music.  Check out my list of green, 420-friendly music on...

Always adding music to that list.  

Pretzels: Mmmm....  Crunchy, savoury and, of course, salty but not overly salty.  Gets too salty in the last few bites.  



Celestial Seasonings Sugar Plum Spice Holiday Tea: I got this for sale at the grocery store I work at, from the lingering seasonal clearance items.  Looking forward to sleeping.  Nice and flavourful.  I can sense so many nice herbs when I taste and smell.  Spicy, like cardamom and cinnamon.  Somewhat fruity as well.  It gets sweeter as I go deeper.  Done.

Next time we eat a Pikachu.  :(  Just kidding, that's mean.  Next time we eat a Men's Rights Activist.  Whew, now I feel better.

Stoner Food Reviews, Day 13

Listening to: Rufus Wainwright.

You know, as I read my last few posts I don't think I sound that out of it and weird.  I actually write quite articulately when I'm high, even if I remembered feeling like I was on another planet; completely incapacitated.

Today's slop is...

Lasagna!  Yeah, I know, it looks pretty sloppy, but high people are lazy so that's what you get, looking for amazing photography on a stoner blog...  You people are nuts.


That is what is left of the casserole, after it was ruthlessly devoured by my dad and his maniacal girlfriend and my two fucking shit-for-brains brothers.  I didn't mean that.  Sorry.

 Lasagna: Warm and hearty.  Chewy.  It oozes with cheese.  Nice flavour.  Prett-ay, prett-ay, prett-ay, pretty good.  Difficult to eat.  It was good but not the best lasagna I've had.  

Next time!  We eat an Arcade Fire.

Stoner Food Reviews, Day 12/Actor Obsessions

May I just say right now, Steve Buscemi is the hottest actor ever.  He's so dreamy.  Ha, now I sound like someone from the 'fifties.  He's so talented.  I saw him in Fargo and then in Ghost World and I thought, "that is true range."  His eyes, his blue, drooping eyelid eyes are so sad and expressive.

I scoured his wikipedia biography for signs of tragedy in his life, but, other than a violent bar fight, some jail time for protesting and Monsters University, his life seems quaint, pleasant and just a little bit boring.  Sure, I should have probably looked on other websites for a more thorough biography, which I may do later, but maybe he just had a really decent life.  Or... he rarely talks about his personal life or past other than schooling and being a firefighter, so no one knows about his life.  I just know something tragic has happened to him, looking into his pleading, defeated eyes, his eyes that long for a sweet and loyal love.  I know his heart has been broken and his mind torn to pieces at least once.  OR..... his face is permanently made to look like he is pleading and defeated and longing and his eyes are the only facial features telling the story of his emotions, so he is stuck in one emotion.  He probably doesn't always project those tragedy eyes, but it's as if he can just call up vivid memories of his past and use it for accuracy when he acts.  Anyway, that is my next actor phase.

And the great thing about obsessing over Steve Buscemi, as opposed to previous actor obsessions (alright, confession time: Cary Elwes, Rick Moranis, Steve Carell, Michael J. Fox, Jack McBrayer, Rick Mercer, Alan Rickman, Johnny Depp.  The biggest, most obsessive one was Jack McBrayer.  There is something terrifying yet adorable and charming about him that I love.), is that unlike an actor like Jack McBrayer, Steve Buscemi actually consistently does quality movies that I am more likely to want to sit through.  For example, 90% of Buscemi's movies, I plan to see and probably will, while I'll probably watch half of Jack McBrayer's roles because he's doing so much children's television and just shitty B-list movies that don't do well on Rotten Tomatoes.  That's the reason I won't be watching Savannah.  I guess I trust Rotten Tomatoes too much.  They just are accurate so often, I rarely disagree.  Their Brain Candy rating was unfair, I think, but other than that, they're quite accurate.  He's on Conan, too, but I just can't sit through a talk show.  I'd kill myself first.  They're so vapid and superficial and urgh.  I hate them.  I think interviewing celebrities is so much better when you remove the visual and it's about thoughts and ideas instead of new looks, hairdos, useless products to promote, etc.  So I prefer the reputable magazine interviews, radio interviews, etc.  Time to eat the food.

Food In This Spread: Cinnamon Heart Candy, Palmer Caramel Valentine Chocolates, Oatmeal Crisp (Almond) Cereal, shot of Cointreau:

Oh, did I mention that the Cinnamon Hearts were 30 cents and the chocolates (which had filled the bowl earlier) were $1.50.  Love it when candy goes on sale.  



Lets' go...

Cereal: Tastes so nourishing.  I'm just devouring it.  It's just... sweet and delicious and oatmeally and crunchy.

Cinnamon Hearts: Mmmmmm.... Warm, sweet cinnamon.  If anything tastes like Valentine's Day, it is this exact candy.  I just mentally think of the taste of this candy when people say Valentine's Day.  Ooohhh....  I've got heartburn and a burnt tongue, but it's so good.  I'm not sucking them right now, I'm too impatient and I'm just chewing them.  They're better that way anyway; they lose their flavour towards the end if you suck on them.  My mouth is fiery hot.  I think I'm done.  No, 2 more.  God, they taste exquisite.  There's something almost buttery to their cinnamon-sugary flavour.

Chocolate: I swayed a bit at the first mouthful; tiredness or ecstasy?  Mmmmm.... Somewhere in the middle of consuming these, there's some kind of pop in the flavour and it just hits you that this ranks around your top ten chocolate experiences.  My thoughts are really hard to follow right now...  All I know is they are saying "more chocolate!  More chocolate!  I did not get a decent review... or quantity of delicious chocolate."  But there is none left.  My family gobbled them up and so did I.

AL-KEY-HALL: (eg. alcohol) Time to get a bit buzzed.  I'm sipping it because I can get more tipsy that way.  Tastes a little bit fizzy.  Is that possible?  Weird.  No, I'm imaging it.  I just don't know if I like this flavour.  It's not quite a perfect mockery of the taste of an orange and tastes almost like Flintstones vitamins.  Yeah, I think I'll go for a beer next morning/afternoon.  Geez...  At least it has that alcohol taste to drown out the kids' vitamin taste a bit.

Ok, hopefully I can get 6 hours of sleep before work.

Next time! Better call Kenny Loggins because we're going to be eating... the DANGER ZONE.

Stoner Food Reviews, Day 11

Hello again, my fellow what-cha-ma-call its.  I am crazy high.  Just so...... high.  In the middle of a movie called Ghost World.  Pretty funny so far.  Okay, time to eat.  Not that hungry today.


Cinammon-Sugar and Cream Cheese Bagel: Grainy, a bit burnt-tasting (my fault).  It's a nice blend of flavours.  The cream cheese is so soft, but I find chewing laborious and painful.  Stopped early.  Really high.  Bye for now, YOU!

Stoner Food Reviews, Day 10

Hello again, my sleepy, lazy, hungry friends!  I made Strawberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake today.  My God that title sounds amazing.  Whoa, I am very buzzed...  I found this recipe on Bakerella and was drawn in by how delicious it seemed.  I may also make her Petits Fours soon.

Recipe here:

http://www.bakerella.com/pound-cake-and-petit-fours/



I think it turned out fairly well, except the toothpick did not come out clean, even after more than ten extra minutes of baking.  Ohhh I'm hungry and sleepy...  Now to try it, which I have yet to do.  I've given one side icing, to compare.  If I had put in any effort (been sober), I could have made a cleaner slice, but today I'm apparently hell-bent on being a dumb-ass, so this happened:



Strawberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake: Pastry and strawberry intermingled.  So yummy.  I think this is a good recipe.  It's not even warm anymore, but it's still so fresh and delicious-tasting.  I like the zings of tartness from the strawberries.  Now, the icing: it definitely adds a cream cheese flavour; sweet and creamy.  It sort of resembles strawberry shortcake.  It's filling me so nicely and elegantly.  Oh, it's so gooooddd...  I love this.  No joke, probably going for seconds.  Oh, definitely...  This is as addictive (and fatty) as a Cinnabon.  Feeling a twinge of guilt... at the fact that my brothers aren't here to see me in my moment of greatest cathartic ecstasy.

My second plate looks much nicer, doesn't it?  


Can't tell whether it's warm or lukewarm right now.  Too stoned...  This recipe is awesome. :)  Mmmmm... the cream cheese and strawberry and sweet cake blend together so harmoniously, like a harp, flute and guitar...

Goodnight, all.  Oh God, 6 AM!  Tempus fudit.  

Next time!  We eat a really beautiful piece of music and a nice, relaxing latin beat!

Stoner Food Reviews, Day 9

Hello fellow bloggers and blog-stalkers!  Time to have one of the greatest meals of my life... you'll see in a second, but first I need to announce that Aesop Rock is actually a pretty good rapper.  There, I admitted it.



Rotini and elbows with tomato sauce and parmesan: A tad crunchy or undercooked, but I really like it way.  The tomato sauce is sparse and not too overpowering.  Also just the way I like it.  The noodles are tender and chewy.  When I notice the parmesan, the flavours are perfect.  Small chunks of tomato in the sauce explode with flavour.  Perfect temperature, the temperature of human breath.


Chocolate-Caramel-Pecan Cheesecake from M&M Meats: So little and dainty, but the other time I had that cheesecake today, I remember it was quite filling, or maybe that was the soup.  Mmmmmmm; cheesy, nutty, chocolatey.  This cheese cake is luxurious.  It's nice and cold; almost refreshing.  In my last bite I can taste the graham crumbs and they're delicious.



Basmati Rice from an Indian restaurant: Spicy, flavourful, soft and dainty.  Can't stop eating.  It's warm and moist.  Nom nom.  It's so full of spices.

Next time: We eat the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  *licks lips*

Stoner Food Reviews, Day 8

Hello there.  I am going to watch an episode of Frasier and hopefully an ASMR video so I am excited for that.  I wonder if ASMR is good high.  Without further ado, I give you...

Mrs. Vickies Sweet Chili and Sour Cream Chips: crunchy texture, brittle and snapable, sometimes has a weird aftertaste.  More savoury and flavourful than spicy.  The first flavour that hits my tongue is very serious; it means business.  Good, but more for the feeling of chewing than the flavour, which is more prominent sober for some reason.



Marzipan: I love this stuff obsessively addictive sober, so its even worse high.  Half a tube was already gone from the past few days, but tonight I decide to finish the entire second half instead of saving it for a recipe.  I'm just ramming it into my mouth nonstop, with awkward finger digs from the moist, malleable substance.  Sweet, almondy, delicious.  I love Marzipan...  The side of it smells like beeswax and lemon.



Have a good day while I have a good sleep!

Next time: We review a banana....................... peel................................ :(

P.S. ASMR is good high, but better sober.
