Junk food has replaced booze for me and I've gotta do something about it

green tea and those little salted toasted squares of seaweed solves snacking by not solving it, you get to crunch something tasty but you can eat like 50 of them for 15 calories. but don’t buy the incredibly expensive premade single serving packages, buy sushi seaweed and brush it lightly with olive oil, salt, cut into squares, and lightly toast at 300 for 3-5 min

My wife and I have recently gotten really into decaf because of the Costco Kirkland signature decaf is as delicious as their various other offerings around $10 a pound.

Absolute best price quality ratio I've ever seen on coffee.

I think you're mostly right elephant ambush but I do think it's hard for us to consider the perspective of the posters who feel outnumbered and I think that feeling is a big factor.

Maybe we can build a forums kialo instance

+1 for Kirkland brand stuff because it all seems like a insanely good value. All the store brand alcohol must be rebrands because they're too good to be anything else

Already at a liter+ of tea a day so that's not solving anything, I do like those seaweed snacks tho. Mostly I just need to cook more miscellaneous snacks to keep around and not just big balanced meals. Sweating over a bag of tacos is still a lot better than a 6 pack with 2 Monacos to chase every evening like it used to be

It sounds like a silly lifehack but I've started drinking near-beer when stressed out at work. My brain is too dumb to realize that I'm not actually feeding it booze so I still get a nice dopamine hit.
I’ve been wanting to get some CBD flower (…that’s just hemp, I guess?) for similar reasons. (It’s probably even a bit better than NA beer in that it theoretically would have some chemical effect.)

E: I’m looking into it and places seem to be charging actual “weed” prices for hemp flower. It should be like five dollars a god drat pound! If I can’t get a much better price than that then I refuse to buy any, as much as I would like some.

E2: found a place with $25 ounces. Now we’re getting somewhere.

I buy CBD strains from a place called tweedle farms. I mix it in with my regular weed for the CBD since most THC strains have been THC maximized at the cost of most other cannabinoids. It makes my vape remains full spectrum so my butter is super potent.

I find that flower with a broad spectrum of cannabinoids makes a much better experience than extreme THC potency. Unfortunately most dispensaries that sell regular flower don't agree.

I just want a nice haze with 5-8% CBD, and 15%-20% THC, and a smattering of everything else.

I get edibles sometimes that are 5:25 THC:CBD and they're my favorite. Edibles are all there is unfortunately since we're gonna be the last state in the country to legalize weed and will probably have to be forced to by the Feds. In 6 months my tolerance has barely gone up at all which is a win in my book but I also don't like getting mega blasted, just feeling relaxed and laugh-ey

Where you at? Be interesting to see who's last on legalization. ND barely passed medical and our legislature took the initiated measure, sat on it for 1.5 years, and then reintroduced medical with a completely different set of restrictive laws, none of which we voted for.

Indiana, the state AG a few years back had to literally order the state troopers multiple times to stop raiding shops with CBD products lol. Since then there has been absolutely no movement, no bills, no debate, nothin. State GOP stance is "we will when the Feds make us" and the Feds aren't ever gonna do that so it's never gonna happen. Whenever it comes time to moan about how there's not enough revenue the response is basically just a flat "No", not even a super corrupt and lovely implementation is being considered.

If there's another contender I'm not sure who it would be, Utah probably except I think they got medical by ballot

I swear doing a gravity bong hit of Salvia knocked me off the rails I was put on at a young age. How could my insignificant self-centered concerns be weighty enough to bring me down after experiencing my own morality and one-ness with the cycle?

Can't smoke weed at the moment because I've got trivia coming up and weed makes me less fun for such things.

Heiniken 00 and St Pauli's Girl are p good. Give it a try!

Edit: I work from home, don't try this in the office

I read a very funny Reddit thread or something once where a guy was, similarly, saying he’d successfully kicked drinking by realizing that he was psychologically more attached to the action of crushing a 12-rack of beers than he was to alcohol, so he switched to crushing 12-racks of NA beer, but the issue was that he also wanted to do that in his office now that he wasn’t hiding his drinking anymore and his coworkers were looking askance at it

I actually did accidentally drat near powder it this time. There's no appetizing way I can describe the mixture sitting in my fridge right now but it's still delicious.

Two pulses in the food processor and anything that still looks remotely like a partial chicken breast (instead of shredded chicken) can easily be pulled apart when dumping back in. Forkshredding is definitely better but this is so much quicker and I'm a deeply lazy fucker for most meals. Less than 10min active time fits the bill. I use an electric pressure cooker, 20 minutes on high and a natural release.

I see, that does make actualy a fair bit of utilitarian sense for a salad payload, even if, yeah, “cold gravy with chicken sand” is probably not the sales pitch you'd invest into

It's a more specialized toaster oven, if you have an electric oven with convection, you will accomplish the same.

It's been very helpful at offsetting our gas oven.

Get the kind that has a removable basket drawer not the toaster oven kind.

It's just a small convection oven but they do work very well. Ours gets used every day.
