Gummie Sleep Aids

Cannabis / By

One of the Beer Boys, whom we will refer to here as “Bill”, because that’s his name, has been testing THC/CBD gummies to get a better night’s sleep.  [WARNING:  Consult your doctor, pharmacist, dispensary worker, social worker, psychiatrist, and bartender before ingesting any THC/CBD product.  Every individual reacts differently.  Edible THC/CBD can have a delayed reaction.  Stay safe and ingest only fruits and vegetables.]  

“Bill” has not gone the pure CBD route and he enjoys the mild THC Buzz before hitting the pillow.  He says it works for him and he sleeps better.   

I’ve tried 10 MG CBD gummies before bed and I can only report inconclusive sleep results.  I will try to pay more attention and take some notes in the future.  How’s that for useless information?

If you’re having trouble getting a good night’s sleep and these products are legal in your state, it’s worth investigating to see what might help you.  Take the warning seriously.  Best to consult with your doctor first.

You’ll Get Nothing And Like It

Food and Drink, Good Clean Fun / By

Georgetown Brewing Company in Seattle makes some excellent beers.  Recently, I asked for their Bodhizafa IPA at a local restaurant.  The young waiter informed us that they didn’t have Bodhi but they did have You’ll Get Nothing And Like It also from Georgetown.  The waiter knew the name was from the movie Caddyshack, which he had seen once, but he really didn’t know anything about Judge Smails or Spaulding.  These youngsters!!  Anyway, the beer…. I liked it.

To refresh your memory, here’s the scene from Caddyshack.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f6l1QljpMo

Fintastic Friday – Giving Sharks a Voice

Food and Drink, Good Clean Fun / By

Yesterday, Buzzed Boomer’s Editorial Staff was asleep at the switch and missed World Cocktail Day AND National Fruit Cocktail Day. The staff did manage to enjoy a classic gin & tonic on a beautiful spring day, but failing to notify readers of such important days is inexcusable and we apologize.

So please note that today is Fintastic Friday – Giving Sharks a Voice. We’re not sure exactly what sharks would like to express but perhaps it’s to please swim a little farther out into the surf (that’s you Old Man Wrong). Meanwhile, we will pay a tribute to our shark friends with a shark attack fruit punch.

That’s The Pepper!

Food and Drink / By

Add some spice to your life and your Margarita with fresh Jalapeño slices.  I’ve used bottled Jalapeño slices and juice to perk up Margaritas but I found the fresh slices had more flavor with less burn.  There are lots of variants on the Internet including those with chili pepper and pepper jelly.  Stick with 100% agave tequila, fresh lime juice, a little orange liqueur and we’re good to go.

Mothers Day Beverage Prep

Food and Drink, Recipes / By

Buzzed Boomer missed out recommending tequila on Cinco De Mayo.  But who really needs help making or ordering a Margarita? So for Mothers Day, try cobbling up a Mimosa Margarita.  Yum.  Sparkling wine and tequila.  Can’t miss.  Make sure you have the ingredients today so you’re ready for tomorrow.

Here’s a recipe from simplejoy.com that makes enough for everybody.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup triple sec
  • 1 cup tequila
  • 2 TBSPs freshly squeezed lime juice about two limes
  • 1 bottle of champagne chilled
  • 3 cups orange juice
  • 2 limes sliced thin optional
  • 2 oranges sliced thin

Mix the liquids in a pitcher with ice and garnish the pitcher and glasses with slices of limes and oranges.  Rim the glasses with salt if desired.

Happy Mothers Day!

Cinco de Mayo – Mexico Versus Napoleon

Food and Drink, Good Clean Fun, Recipes / By

The Buzzed Boomer Research Department has discovered that May 5th celebrates not Mexican independence but something to do with Napoleon.  I supposed that’s because Napoleon Dynamite’s best friend was Pedro from Mexico.  Therefore, have a Modelo or a Corona or, if you prefer a cocktail, try a Tina Tai which is a Mai Tai that honors Tina the llama; courtesy of goodfoodstories.com.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup spiced rum
  • 1/4 cup coconut rum
  • 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) grenadine
  • 3 cups passion fruit juice
  • lime and orange rounds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill 4 highball glasses or large Old-Fashioned glasses with ice.
  • Add the spiced and coconut rums, grenadine, and passion fruit juice to a small pitcher and stir to combine.
  • Divide between the prepared glasses.
  • Garnish with lime and orange rounds and serve immediately.

Bike Safety

Endorphins, Fitness, Good Clean Fun, Uncategorized / By

Exercise the fun way!  Saddle up!  But safety first!  Let’s see I need my helmet (with blue flasher on the back and rear view mirror), florescent green vest with pocket for phone, padded bike pants for that firm saddle, bike gloves to keep the hands from going numb, Apple Watch to capture biking exercise minutes and miles, mask in case I need to talk with someone, glasses for eye protection, water bottle and Camelback for max hydration, bike shoes, sunblock, seat bag with mini first aid kit, and baseball cap for post-ride helmet-hair.  And….. we’re out of time.  Tomorrow we’ll get an earlier start.

Don’t Fear the Sunset

1 Comment / Food and Drink, Good Clean Fun, Recipes / By

When in Southport, North Carolina at the mouth of the Cape Fear river, try a Cape Fear Sunset. Tito’s, Midori, Peach Schnapps, pineapple juice, OJ, and Grenadine. It’s a little sweet so you might want to alert/tip the bartender to focus on the Tito’s.
