That one time we didn't make it past the tailgating...
A few years ago, some friends and I were pumped because we were able to score some free Dallas Cowboys tickets to a home game. This was the first football game experience for all of us, so we wanted to experience every aspect of a game, which included tailgating. It didnāt matter who you were rooting for, tailgating in the parking lot is the time where football fans gather together and pregame the right way (pun intended).
I donāt know if you have ever gone tailgating, but most people get to the parking lot bright and early to start the festivities. Like I said earlier, we wanted the full experience, so we arrived early as well. Most tailgating involves adult beverages, but we wanted to try a different approach by infusing some of our appetizers. We were each in charge of one item and mine happened to be the Ranch dip which I titled,Ā Herb-aceous Ranch Dip. Everything was going great, but then next thing I knew, everyone was packing up their grills and making their way into the game. At that point, we realized we may have gone a little too ham and really just wanted to put on our sweats and have a movie marathon. I think if we had been a little bit more mindful of how long a tailgating party can last, we probably would have paced ourselves a little more. Since the tickets were free, we just started alerting the crowd that we had free tickets, so they did not go to waste. The game might have been missed, but the unforgettable tailgate was the real win.
Cooking with Delta 8 THCp Distillate
Distillate is a specific type of oil that has a sticky, honey-like texture that is made by using steam, vacuum pressure, and specific heating/boiling temperatures (depending on the type of cannabinoid) to isolate the extract from the plant. When the distillation process is used, it leaves behind the plant matter and terpenes which gives a flavorless, odorless oil.
The best part about using Distillate for baking is that it is easy to dose your edibles (if you have the option, always get your distillate in a syringe to make it even easier) and mixes well with most food types. If you need help with your dosage, please see our dosage chartĀ to help you decide how much distillate to use.
For this recipe I used .25g of Vivimu’s Delta 8 THCp Distillate which has a strength of 85%. Since this recipe produces 16 servings, that means each serving size contains about 13mg. Please note that Vivimu’s Delta 8 THCp does have a longer lasting effect than the Delta 8, so please dose responsibly.
