Me being I think 10 years old (?) at the time I don’t think I really understood a lot of the things she was singing about in her songs, but I knew something about it resonated with me.

I remember hearing one of the tracks ‘Manhattan’ and thinking about how I wanted to make music that made me feel the way th...

The Basics Of Beta-Caryophyllene — Explaining CBD Hemp’s Spiciest Terpene

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:54 GMT

People familiar with cannabis may know that some strains have not-so-subtle spicy notes. For instance, most hybrids in the Kush family are famous for their peppery “kick.” Hemp smokers may also notice these warm and spicy aromatics when using CBD pre-rolls.To explain this unique flavor profile, we need to talk about the terpene beta-caryophyllene. While there are dozens of terpenes in the cannabis species, beta-caryophyllene is the primary one that adds a little “hot sauce” to hemp.Interestingly, many scientists now believe beta-caryophyllene may have a lot more to offer than just a hint of spice. CBD customers should check out the latest research into beta-caryophyllene to pick the perfect CBD near me on Real Tested CBD.How Does Beta-Caryophyllene Affect Hemp Strains?Whenever a hemp strain has high concentrations of beta-caryophyllene, it’s a safe bet you’ll experience a little “throat burn.” As hinted in the intro, beta-caryophyllene is closely associated with spicy aromatics, esp...

New Concord bird enthusiast seeks help in attracting visitors to her feeder

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:54 GMT

DEAR JOAN: How long does it usually take birds to discover a new feeder? I’m new at this.— Yvonne Moss, ConcordDEAR YVONNE: It’s sort of miraculous that birds find feeders at all. They’re soaring 20 to 30 feet above our yards, keeping one eye out for predators and avoiding sudden downdrafts, all while keeping the other eye out for food, water and shelter. Yet, when they do find a full feeder, they remember it and visit often, which means we have to keep shelling out for food, keep the larder filled and make sure everything is clean and tidy.For the most part, birds don’t have a good sense of smell, so locating food is all done by sight and some possibly by hearing and word of beak. We can help birds find our feeders and visit our yard regularly by doing a few things to let them know they are welcome and safe.Hang your feeder in a spot where it is more easily seen from above. Under a shady tree is not the best spot. If you plant bright flowers, that might get their attent...

TasteFood: Salad days of summer – the leftovers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:54 GMT

This installment of Salad Days of Summer is a recipe for your dinner repertoire. Steak salads make for a fresh and substantial bowl that you can call a meal. I call it a leftovers salad — it was, in fact, composed of leftover steak and green beans when it was prepared — but “grilled steak salad” sounds more enticing.If you don’t happen to have cold steak and cooked beans lurking in your refrigerator, you can easily make this recipe from scratch. However, I believe that if you go to the trouble of paying for and grilling a nice piece of steak, you should enjoy it hot off the grill. I suggest purchasing a little extra so that you can have your grilled steak dinner — and then the wonderful “problem” of leftovers to make this salad.This recipe includes methods for both grilling the steak and cooking fresh beans, should you decide to concoct the salad from scratch. Note that French haricots verts may be used for the green beans. Haricots ve...
