Hello and welcome to a very special bonus edition of this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people.

Hello, calling Eventides Bodhran! Remember when I got way too high and wrote that food list full of weed edibles for 420 that had only 240 recipes because I had overestimated my capabilities and you were all, ugh but what about the not-weed weed recipes I’ve been looking for all my life. Here! They’re here! These recipes are made with weeds that are most definitely not weed, and are sometimes flowers that grow right outside my home and I had no idea I could be putting them in my mouth. I dedicate this fondly to you and also to all the dandelions I wasted by not eating when I used to pick them serially on the side of the highway like a crazy person. Remember coming out?
