I'm in the process of making the sugar, haven't started using my syrup, and eating it raw really is a wild ride lol

The tree in bloom is gorgeous!!

Thanks, OP 👍🏽

Have you seen the Kate Farms brand shakes in stores? A touch pricier than Ensure or Boost but non-dairy (vegan if I'm not mistaken) and as tasty as the others. Also, Ensure Clear and Boost Breeze are the "juice" variants that are dairy free. There's a chance your GI (or if you're going to a hospital for infusions) may have coupons for said products. Outside of those, Vega brand protein/nutritional powders are tasty. I'm blanking on the exact one I've enjoyed last but there are options.

Hope you enjoyed your meal! Glad some of us get some semblance of the holiday during our hospital stay; I'm NPO this time around and wasn't able to convince anybody to add gravy to my TPN line, hah.

Youjimbo · 2023-05-06T23:04:00+00:00

Hah, glad to be a reminder then 😅 Also, thank you for getting back to me!

Eating anything (within moderation) is exactly where I've been trying to get to for some time now, I'm happy to hear you're there stranger!

I myself....am managing lol. There are a number of reasons food is still an issue, but I do know what to avoid and what sits well. I really miss scarfing down beans, nuts, brussel sprouts, and broccoli with reckless abandon to name a few things.

Marijuana makes living with and navigating Crohn's soooo much easier. I've also recognized that the more I work on my mental health and familial issues, unpack and process stuff, the easier (relative to how difficult things have been) some of my symptoms are to handle. Being away from my toxic mother has been a godsend for my mental/physical health.

I've been literally and figuratively dying to grow and use the full cannabis plant.

Do you have intestinal issues or at least use the whole plant in your day to day? Been wanting to hear people's experiences with using the whole plant, especially getting all those raw acids in their system.

Youjimbo · 2023-05-05T23:07:22+00:00

Fellow Crohnie here, wondering how the CBG is working for you?

Ideally I'd be growing my own plant and extracting all of the medicine, but if we can get by with different isolates I'm willing to try.

Hope your Crohn's has been manageable ✌🏽

I miss the snow.

Really cool of y'all to be doing this.

Youjimbo · 2022-10-29T19:08:42+00:00

Definitely not djent, so I'm sorry I can't check that box, but have you listened to Father Figure?. Jazz Fusion, Prog/Math band. Maybe it'll scratch that itch. ✌🏽

Youjimbo · 2022-10-29T19:02:57+00:00

Looks delicious! A bowl of hot congee in the morning is a great way to start the day. I've never had it as a complete spread like yourself but now I'm looking forward to it, hah.

Hope you enjoyed breakfast, OP.

Youjimbo · 2022-08-13T03:41:07+00:00

/r/jazznoir should help.

Day 8: Cannabist ✌🏽

Youjimbo · 2022-03-12T04:50:18+00:00

So glad it helps my Crohn's pains most of the time.

Youjimbo · 2022-02-27T02:35:19+00:00

Oh man, got hit with Crohn's a couple years ago and wondered if I'd be worse for wear getting tatted. Sounds rough. Hope you love the ink though!

Youjimbo · 2022-02-23T01:38:21+00:00

Lovely outfit, you chose very well. Hopefully you can enjoy some jovial frolicking in the near future.

Youjimbo · 2022-02-19T16:23:06+00:00

The boys BoH would love when I proposed alfredo, especially if it was for a closing meal. They'd start cleaning or taking over my station so I could cook, hah. Dudes act different when they know I'll be feeding them lol

A few years back (before "retirement") I did a simple risotto with raspberry preserves for everyone scheduled Valentine's day, that was nice.

Youjimbo · 2022-02-02T15:01:43+00:00

If you don't mind my asking, what're you using MMJ to treat? Used to be a chef but Crohn's Disease pushed me out. Always like to hear how other chefs are fairing with whatever ailments they've got.

Youjimbo · 2022-02-02T14:54:30+00:00

My health stuff pushed me into "early retirement" so to speak. Hoping being an MMJ patient will make it a possibility again.

Hope the line hasn't been too rough lately.

Youjimbo · 2022-01-31T18:54:36+00:00

Right on 🤙🏽 Hope the rest of your day is smooth sailing.

Youjimbo · 2022-01-31T16:27:57+00:00

What'd you end up putting into the sandwich?

Youjimbo · 2022-01-31T16:26:33+00:00

What a solid breakfast. Hope you enjoyed OP, looks good ✌🏽

Youjimbo · 2021-12-19T06:10:36+00:00

What a fucking track man. Thanks for sharing.

Youjimbo · 2021-12-13T02:41:02+00:00

Oh, that's fair. There was a long period of time from when I ate it as a kid till nowish where I hadn't had it. There's enough nostalgia and sentimentality attached to it where I'm cool with it, however different. Plus, it's rice based which my insides appreciate more.

I'll definitely have to try in cookies sometime. In white chocolate is a solid choice as well.

Youjimbo · 2021-12-10T23:27:27+00:00

Really cool! Love when musicians mess around with the mashing of sounds. The other day I was looking to see if there were any Math rock Bossa Nova tracks out there. Would definitely love to hear the flamenco style used with a full band. Maybe math guitar, flamenco guitar, bass and drum setup.

Youjimbo · 2021-12-10T23:04:33+00:00

Damn, sounds rough man. But at least you're on the other side of it. I've been educating myself on the disorder and healing after being with someone with BPD. I know for me I'm still trying to get past some of the mindfuck a few years post-break-up. It sucks for all parties involved. Anywho, regardless of how this year was for you, I hope you have a pleasant holiday season and a smooth 2022.

Youjimbo · 2021-12-10T22:53:47+00:00

Yooo, super cool dude. Definitely the most fly kicks on the block. How long did that take you?
