People tell me that the major drawback to smoking pot is the weight gain associated with getting “the munchies” after a relaxing round of deep herbal inhalation. <\/p>\n
I’ve got zero experience of pot-munchies; never been a fan of cauterizing my delicate pink lung tissue with burning smoke. But I sympathize, based on my experiences with the intoxicating world of booze. <\/p>\n
Apparently, alcohol can act as a meal-replacement, except without any of the essential vitamins or nutrients. But in my own experience, I find it to be less satiating of the hunger, and more with the incitement to gluttony. Thus, the fountains of rum that runneth out of my aunt and uncle’s kitchen are making me… well… FAMISHED. All. The. Time.<\/p>\n
No big deal, right? It’s the holidays. Everyone eats over the holidays. Weight gain is to be expected. But here’s what you *don’t* know. In my aunt and uncle’s gigantic refrigerator, which is so high-tech it can do everything except the cha-cha, there is an unusually high ratio of “fatmaking” to “healthy” foods. Allow me to demonstrate my point:<\/p>\n
FATMAKING
\n4 boxes Boursin garlic & herbs cream cheese
\n3 jars English Double Devon Cream
\n3 family-sized Toblerone bars
\n2 bottles Moet & Chandon brut rose champagne
\n2 slabs French Venison Pate
\n2 rounds Creamy White Stilton with Apricots
\n2 rounds Creamy White Stilton with Mango & Ginger
\n2 French baguettes
\n1 pint half-and-half cream
\n1 block Balderson’s Aged White Canadian Cheddar
\n1 humongous vat of leftover Coconut Chicken Curry
\n1 tin ‘Rillettes de Lapin’ (something to do with bunnies???)
\ninfinite supply of Kalik Gold extra strength beer
\nHEALTHY
\n1 bag brussel sprouts
\n1 red onion
\n1 carton fat-free milk
\n1 crate eggs<\/p>\n
I’m too scared to even look in the freezer or dried food pantry. I’m avoiding the unspeakably large pile of chocolates, for now.
\nGood thing I brought elasticized pants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
