A Slice of Cannabis

Here we are at the final episode of Euro Tripping where Angelo and I talk about my time in Germany. One of my favorite parts of being in Germany was the history and the wood burning stove, in the episode picture, which we had to do all our cooking on! I also touch on a lot of the snacks I got to enjoy in Europe, including the Dutch Peanut M&Ms 🤤 Angelo asks me a couple questions about my trip, in...

Well here we are halfway through the journey and heading up to the Netherlands! Come along and hear about my adventures in Alkmaar with the CheeseHeads, differences in their grocery stores vs. ours, and how I can make some OK food 😅 I was able to visit the Cheese Museum where cheese makers from all over would bring their cheese to market (pictured in the episode artwork). I can now say I've been...

Euro-Tripping Part II: Barcelona Here we are making our way down to Barcelona in Southeast Spain! Come along as Angelo and I review my time at Spannabis.

So...

Welcome back for a new season of A Slice of Cannabis! This season we are starting by going over my trip to Europe last year.

Happy Holidaze and welcome in for Slivers of Slice! We took our inspiration today from the episode with our friend Rhizo Rich. Now Snickerdoodles have an interesting and chewy history, much like the cookie!... OK, OK, it's not chewy but it is more complex than you may have thought. Like, were you aware this cookie more than likely started as a bar style treat and not a cookie at all?!?! Shocking,...

Happy Holidays and welcome in for a new Sliver of Slice. Todays episode is about Cotija Cheese and then some cannabis history about Latin America.

We also talk about some more cannabis history from Mexico and a li...

This time on Slivers of Slice we are going to take a look at the fermented food world and focus on  kimchi. This food was mentioned during the Jordan River episode of Slice. Looking into the history with Angelo was quite the history lesson in food but also the region of Asia including Korea, China, and Japan. Much more here than just a way to preserve food over the winter. And then the cannabis hi...
