What do you use it for?
 Quoting: Isis One


I'm thinking about making some chocolates or caramels for my trial run so that I have a pretty accurate idea of the amount of THC per piece, but you can use it in any recipe that calls for butter. Cookies and stuff. Can drop a tablespoon into a smoothie or cup of coffee.

The combined 2 sticks of butter now have a total of 1,890 mg of THC. Each tablespoon of butter = 118.13 mg. I'll use that as my basis in whichever recipe(s) I make with it. :)

Natural pain relief and/or a fun time haha!
 Quoting: Simple27


Very interesting. How does it taste?
 Quoting: Isis One


I didn't get a chance to make anything today. I'll make something tomorrow! It smells really good though. :)
 Quoting: Simple27


Simple, if you've never made caramels before, I recommend doing a trial batch before using your special butter. Caramels are tricky and require an accurate candy thermometer. It's a very fine line between getting it it to the right temperature, and burning it. I would hate for you to burn a batch and that butter go to waste.

If you end up not doing caramels, I would make something you can freeze. Cookies or brownies, maybe. Then you have some edibles in the freezer you can take out one at a time when you're in the mood.

@USGS

60 years ago #OnThisDay, the largest earthquake ever recorded strikes near Valdivia, #Chile. At magnitude 9.5, it was almost 40 times larger than the Great 1906 San Francisco quake. 2,000 were killed and tsunamis inundated Chile, and parts of Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines.



@GeoGinger

This quake ruptured a section of the subduction zone 800 KM LONG. That's approximately the distance between San Diego and San Francisco

Just got back home a little while ago from bringing nanny to get tested again. She's not sick or showing symptoms, just making sure she hasn't gotten it since my aunt lives there. I pray she is still negative. She got the same test as before. The one that they jam the stick up into your brain. She said it hurt this time. Last time she took it like a champ. No flinching or anything. I was holding her hand this time and she jumped when they did it.

My aunt is also gonna be retested (a third time for her). She's waiting to hear back from her doctor to find out when she can go. Her doctor said that it's possible the virus is still inside of her, but dead and not able to spread, and that may be why she has tested positive twice now but is seemingly healthy. Who really knows. No one obviously. But for the sake of both nanny and my aunt's sanity, I pray her next test is negative.

Whadda mess :\
 Quoting: Simple27


This whole thing is a goddamn clusterfuck! IF your aunt's test result was reliable, I would think she would've shown symptoms by now if she was going to get sick from it. Perhaps she's just lucky. of course, the question is if the test is even reliable. Regardless, I hope her and your grandma stay safe and healthy.
 Quoting: KickinIt


Yes, it's all mind boggling. I believe the worst of any symptoms my aunt may have had that were related to the virus are long gone. And if she even had related symptoms, yes, she was lucky and they were mild and not long lasting. I'm not worried about her getting sick at this point, but I do worry about whether or not she can spread it to anyone else. I'm not sure if there's ever been a straight answer as to how long someone can spread it after testing positive. 1dunno1

My aunt has already had 2 separate positive tests. The second test was about a week and a half after the first test and was done by a different medical facility from the first test. We don't know what to think about the reliability of the tests now. After the first positive result we all started to think it was a false positive, but then she had that second positive test. Weird, all of it.

I really don't know why nanny waited so long for a second test. I wasn't even aware that she was planning to be tested a second time for the virus. I thought she only wanted an antibody test when available. She claims she hasn't had symptoms and just wants to be sure again because of my aunt's tests. Hopefully she's being 100% honest about that.

Ahhhh, thank you for the caramel advice! I will heed it! Very valid points and I do not have a candy thermometer. I've tried to get one numerous times locally recently but they're always sold out. Might have to check Amazon.

Also a great plan to make something freezable!

I think I'm gonna go with chocolate chip cookies. It's hot out there (and in here) today though, so I'm waiting until things cool down tonight before putting the oven on. But tonight is the night!

No one obviously. But for the sake of both nanny and my aunt's sanity, I pray her next test is negative.

Whadda mess :\

This whole thing is a goddamn clusterfuck! IF your aunt's test result was reliable, I would think she would've shown symptoms by now if she was going to get sick from it. Perhaps she's just lucky. of course, the question is if the test is even reliable. Regardless, I hope her and your grandma stay safe and healthy.

Yes, it's all mind boggling. I believe the worst of any symptoms my aunt may have had that were related to the virus are long gone. And if she even had related symptoms, yes, she was lucky and they were mild and not long lasting. I'm not worried about her getting sick at this point, but I do worry about whether or not she can spread it to anyone else. I'm not sure if there's ever been a straight answer as to how long someone can spread it after testing positive. 1dunno1

My aunt has already had 2 separate positive tests. The second test was about a week and a half after the first test and was done by a different medical facility from the first test. We don't know what to think about the reliability of the tests now. After the first positive result we all started to think it was a false positive, but then she had that second positive test. Weird, all of it.

I really don't know why nanny waited so long for a second test. I wasn't even aware that she was planning to be tested a second time for the virus. I thought she only wanted an antibody test when available. She claims she hasn't had symptoms and just wants to be sure again because of my aunt's tests. Hopefully she's being 100% honest about that.

I just read a 2nd article last night about how crappy the reliability is for the antibody test. I think the virus test is slightly more reliable than the antibody test at this point. Which isn't saying much, but I think for right now your granny is better off with that?? It's hard to say, none of our options to try and help ourselves are good. But what is the alternative - avoiding each other forever?

I didn't get a chance to make anything today. I'll make something tomorrow! It smells really good though. :)

Simple, if you've never made caramels before, I recommend doing a trial batch before using your special butter. Caramels are tricky and require an accurate candy thermometer. It's a very fine line between getting it it to the right temperature, and burning it. I would hate for you to burn a batch and that butter go to waste.

If you end up not doing caramels, I would make something you can freeze. Cookies or brownies, maybe. Then you have some edibles in the freezer you can take out one at a time when you're in the mood.

Ahhhh, thank you for the caramel advice! I will heed it! Very valid points and I do not have a candy thermometer. I've tried to get one numerous times locally recently but they're always sold out. Might have to check Amazon.

Also a great plan to make something freezable!

I think I'm gonna go with chocolate chip cookies. It's hot out there (and in here) today though, so I'm waiting until things cool down tonight before putting the oven on. But tonight is the night!

I think chocolate chip is a good choice. Always delicious, and they freeze well. I happen to have a fond memory of a pot-butter chocolate chip cookie. My friend found it in his freezer. It was the last one of a batch he had made long before, and he didn't even realize there were any left. He found it as I was picking him up to head to the Cardinals home opener, so we split it before heading out. A while later that thing started kicking in, and it was the most perfect buzz all day long. AND it was the home opener (like a holiday here), AND it was perfect weather, AND it was an exciting game with multiple home runs, AND we beat the Cubs. It's one of those days I'd like to relive - very Ferris Bueller like.

That is so weird you can't find a candy thermometer, WTH?? I guess in addition to baking bread, everyone is now getting into candy making too?
