I wrote a blog post entitled "significant smokes" detailing all the blends I have set aside for specific occasions. Some blends I only smoke on holidays "Christmas Cheer on Christmas eve and day, dark star on Thanksgiving) and others I smoke more than on special occasions but make sure to mark certain occasions with that blend (Autumn Evening for Reformation day.)

Interesting. Do you have a link to it? Sounds like an interesting read...

Haha just saying about the beliefs. ?
Don’t worry we know you’re asexual like an earthworm. (j/k!)
I would go with "non" actually.

My beliefs revolve mostly with nature though I avoid "W" words as they often draw negative attention.?

Nah man it’s cool I’m a Catholic. I just find it a bit contradictory as they always told us to treat your body like a temple etc and smoking was like using God’s home as an ashtray.
At the risk of getting in trouble for talking religion, that particular passage about the body being the temple of the Holy Spirit, is in reference to sexual immorality. When people ask how as a pastor I can smoke and bring that verse up, I usually reply with "I don't know what you've been doing with your pipes and cigars, but that passage is about sexual immorality." ?
Always a fun way to get the conversation going.

Right. I think a lot of messages are how they are interpreted.

No dice, yet. Might have to order star anise. Haven’t found it in the few stores I’ve gone to. Gonna check a few more tomorrow and if I don’t see it on a shelf, I’ll hit up Amazon.

@musicman

Disregard. Found a local store open until 11. They had some. Using all the same ingredients but doing it just a little differently. Prepped the same except into a crock pot to slow cook the broth overnight and then throughout the day tomorrow. Should have about 20 hours on it when it’s time to dump it over some noodles and raw moose meat!

Kinda makes me feel like I’m back in Ho Chi Minh City...

Beautiful! That broth will be amazing, I'm sure. You're kinda making me wonder where I can score some moose bones in the Tucson area. Might have better luck with Javelina!
