This first-ever cookbook from High Times magazine--the world's most
trusted name when it comes to getting stoned--is the deliciously
definitive guide to cannabis-infused cooking. Easy, accessible
recipes and advice demystify the experience of cooking with grass
and offer a cornucopia of irie appetizers and entrees, stoner
sweets, cannabis cocktails, and high-holiday feasts for any
occasion, from Time Warp Tamales and Sativa Shrimp Spring Rolls to
Pico de Ganja Nachos and Pineapple Express Upside-Down Cake.
Delectable color photos and recipes inspired by stoner celebrities
such as Snoop Dogg, Cheech and Chong, and Willie Nelson will spark
the interest of experienced cannabis cooks and "budding" chefs,
whether they're looking for the perfect midnight munchie or just to
take dinner to a higher level.
In a single five-week period in the summer of 1969, three American
astronauts landed on the moon; more than a hundred thousand hippies
grooved at Woodstock; Charles Manson's "family" terrorized Los
Angeles; and the scion of America's most celebrated modern
political dynasty, Senator Edward Kennedy, found himself embroiled
in a scandal in Chappaquiddick, Mass. Here is the full story of
this remarkable year--in first-hand accounts by those who were
there: from the Beatles' last rooftop jam in London to the trial of
the "Chicago 7" to the shocking revelations of U.S. military
brutality in My Lai, South Vietnam--and all points in
between.
A stunning collection of new short stories originally commissioned
by The New York Times Magazine as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the
world, from twenty-nine authors including Margaret Atwood, Tommy
Orange, Colm Toibin, Kamilia Shamsie, David Mitchell and more, in a
project inspired by Boccaccio's The Decameron. When reality is
surreal, only fiction can make sense of it. In 1353, Giovanni
Boccaccio wrote "The Decameron": one hundred nested tales told by a
group of young men and women passing the time at a villa outside
Florence while waiting out the gruesome Black Death, a plague that
killed more than 25 million people. Some of the stories are silly,
some are bawdy, some are like fables. In March of 2020, the editors
of The New York Times Magazine created The Decameron Project, an
anthology with a simple, time-spanning goal: to gather a collection
of stories written as our current pandemic first swept the globe.
How might new fiction from some of the finest writers working today
help us memorialize and understand the unimaginable? And what could
be learned about how this crisis will affect the art of fiction?
These twenty-nine new stories, from authors including Margaret
Atwood, Tommy Orange, Edwidge Danticat, and David Mitchell vary
widely in texture and tone. Their work will be remembered as a
historical tribute to a time and place unlike any other in our
lifetimes, and offer perspective and solace to the reader now and
in a future where coronavirus is, hopefully, just a memory. Table
