20 Alcoholic Beverages Inspired By The Harry Potter Series: Pics, Videos, Links, News tokecity.com gauntlet contest Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal. I sliced the dough, vertically, into six long strips. After 30 minutes in the oven… oh man…. bread heaven.

Dispensaries - Legal Marijuana Dispensary and Cannabis Clubs at THCFinder TULSA, Oklahoma - An Oklahoma group is taking a step toward legalizing medical marijuana in the state. Oklahomans for Health will file an application for petition with the Secretary of State Friday, hoping to put the legalization of medical marijuana up for a statewide vote. "The time is right now in Oklahoma to really get this going," said Oklahomans for Health chairman, Chip Paul. Paul said the non-profit group has made it easy for lawmakers, by drafting a proposal to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. "We've done a lot of research in other states -- what worked, what didn't, what's the most effective way, from a state perspective, to manage this and we've put that language in this initiative, so it should be a very easy thing for the state of Oklahoma to manage," Paul said. Oklahoma's current ban on medical marijuana for medical purposes has some families so desperate that they're leaving the state, like little Jaqie Angel Warrior and her family.
When French Toast Met Pancakes If you ever want me to like you, just make me a light, fluffy stack of pancakes. I’ll blush, I’ll smile a lot, I might propose–it’ll be weird and cute. Promise. Just when I thought pancakes couldn’t get any better, I stumbled upon this recipe by Tasty Kitchen member frecklesandsunshine. The title: When French Toast Met Pancakes…and Fell In Love totally made me giddy with butterflies in my stomach. I was in love way before the batch was whipped up. What makes this recipe so unusual (and delicious) is how the French toast is coated in a very thin pancake batter, creating an amazing crust around the bread. Let’s dive in, shall we? You’ll need some ingredients. I used brioche because I wanted something that would be able to take the heavy batter. In a large bowl, add the eggs and beat ‘em until they’re light and fluffy. Next, we’re just going to add all of the ingredients (minus the bread) one at a time. The baking powder … The vegetable oil … Vanilla extract (having fun yet?) Brown sugar …
5 second rule The day before I started culinary school I was attacked by a tuna can. This was inauspicious at best, humiliating at worst. It meant I began the transition to my new career not in a haze of gauzy wonder but in several layers of actual gauze, taped over fresh stitches by the fine folks at Leonard Morse Hospital in Natick, Massachusetts. "Hi, I'm Cheryl. Our class bonded quickly, though we couldn't have been more different. And then there was me: thirty-two years old, a career-changing mother of two boys in diapers, my stitched hand wrapped up as subtly as a deli sausage. That year was a good one. Towards the end of that year, someone threw a party. I gilt the top of that cake with golden spirals. It was a fun night. Since then, my toddlers have become teens, my pug has passed on, and my cakes have taken a turn for the rustic. I've learned to embrace who I truly am: a woman who cooks and bakes, cuts her hands on tuna cans, and lives, messily, to tell the tale. Makes about 16 servings

Science Says: Lungs Love Weed Breathe easy, tokers. Smoking marijuana in moderate amounts may not be so bad for your lungs, after all. A new study, published in this month's Journal of the American Medical Association, tested the lung function of over 5,000 young adults between 18 and 30 to determine marijuana's effect on lungs. After 20 years of testing, researchers found some buzzworthy results: regular marijuana smokers (defined by up to a joint a day for seven years) had no discernable impairment in lung activity from non-smokers. In fact, researchers were surprised to find marijuana smokers performed slightly better than both smokers and non-smokers on the lung performance test.

As marijuana enters the mainstream, studies like the one published in JAMA might dispel false assertions about the plant's deleterious health hazards and promote its medicinal benefits.
