SPECIAL TREATS!!!

My sis and I were having a conversation at the beach yesterday and I was really curious on how (and if ) I could actually accomplish this. I have been curious on the effects of marijuana but I dont want to be a pot head or anything. So I would most likely use it when making brownies or cookies! So from the videos I have seen it is all about cooking down the pot into the butter to create Cannibutter. Check out these vids and maybe when I make something I will share with you! Now I will be documenting how I feel and maybe video tape myself. I will be seeing if the effects are the same as this! Effects: DISCLAIMER: WEED IS ILLEGAL BUT AS THEY SAY YOLO!!! OXXO, Myeshah!!!

Valhalla Rising

Alright, I have a weakness for movies that kinda make you think. This sure is one. It makes you look at the Character himself. The relationship between him and the boy. The journey they encountered and the people they come across. It is very artistically done and I must say I enjoyed it. The visuals were the most captivating part of this movie.

The person who had put this up on youtube had said this (in french and I translated it)

The Silent Warrior (Valhalla Rising) is the film's mystery: the mystery of a geographic area unknown mystery of an omnipresent character on the screen which we will never know the voice, a mystery and strong invisible bond between the child and the warrior. Everything is simple and complex at the same time. Nicolas Winding Refn takes us to a deeper trance divine: repetition of still shots revealing landscapes of mountains and clear waters, mists terrifying when the future has neither shape nor texture, where visions One Eye, bleeding, a look-over and sometimes himself. The images, beautiful, punctuate a journey to hell, where nature, such as film, evolves through the figure of the circle.

Hope you enjoy!

OXXO Mayeshah!!!

Brining Poultry

Did you know you could BRINE poultry??? Yea you can. Read below:

The secret to juicy chicken and turkey is simple - brine them before cooking!

This is the secret that chefs never tell you about. It's very easy and economical, and requires no special cookware.

Brining is like a marinade, as it keeps food moist and tender. Brining or salting is a way of increasing the moisture holding capacity of meat resulting in a moister product when it is cooked. Salt changes the structure of the muscle tissue in the meat which allows it to swell and absorb water and flavorings which results in a tender turkey or chicken once cooked. Give it a try!

You can use this Simple Chicken Brine recipe to make the best of your poultry:

Ingredients

• 1 gallon warm water
• 3/4 cup kosher salt
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

1. Pour the warm water into a container that is twice the volume of the water. Pour in the salt, sugar, soy sauce, and olive oil. Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved, then allow the brine to cool to room temperature.
2. To use, place chicken in the brine, cover, and refrigerate two hours for skinless breasts, 4 hours for bone-in pieces, and 4 hours to overnight for whole chickens. Drain and pat the chicken dry before cooking. One gallon of brine is enough for 6 pounds of whole chicken or bone-in chicken pieces, and up to 10 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts.
