Interesting new/old edible recipe...

I love to cook, I'm also a big fan of edibles. This is the first time I have heard of this kind of recipe using kief, I would make it for you guys but don't do liver. Here is my thoughts though if you were so inclined...

If you coat with the kief before hand, regardless of cooking method, I would guess the results would be less then desired... I would bread the livers, fry them, when done take them out wait a split second for excess oil to drip off then roll, coat or toss with the kief... Might crust kind of nice with the heat...

"I ate thier kiff and imagined my arm to be a mile long. I thought my foot as big as a mountain. My voice, when I spoke, sounded in my ears like the roar of a thousand thunders. In a word, I was kiff drunk"

I find old pictures fascinating, capturing that day, that hour, that minute, that second in time. The soul of the pictures, the feelings and the emotions of that moment, still linger after the passing of time. I can stare for hours...


Joseph Nicéphore Niépce was the first to capture that first moment in time. Using his own invention "the heliograph" in 1926 or 27 (he did successfully make them as early as 1822 but this is the oldest to survive) he pointed his constructed Camera obscura box out his second story window in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France. Letting his lens stay open for 8 hours this is what he captured

enhanced version done in 1952


Not much changes until in 1838 Louis Daguerre comes up with his invention the daguerreotype (he had befriended and worked with Niépce up until his death in 1833).

Here is where we see the first human being ever to be captured in time...

On a spring morning Daguerre points his Camera obscura out his window overlooking Boulevard du Temple in Paris and opens the lens for 10-12 minutes capturing the first humans getting their shoes shined on the corner...

Then later in 1839 across the ocean in the back of his father’s gas lamp-importing business on Chestnut Street in Center City, Philadelphia, Robert Cornelius took the first Portrait and first self portrait ever taken using the daguerreotype technique most likely learned from articles like this one announcing the discovery in 1839.

"Honor to a Spaniard, no matter how dishonest, is as real a thing as water, wine, or olive oil. There is honor among pickpockets and honor among whores. It is simply that the standards differ."
- Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon

Full Metal Jacket - Marching Songs

The sweet cadence of the marching song echoed through time with a little bit of cannabis soul. There have been many historic marching songs all over the world throughout time, the Airborne's "Gory, Gory" comes to mind. Most taking a common tune, like in our example "glory, glory", and making a song that unites the solders in arms together... Look at that, cannabis keeping solders united...
