Here's that semi-decent Larry scraggler I trimmed a few days ago. Looks pretty interesting, huh?
Glad I didn't throw it away.
Y'know for wispy almost throw-away stuff, it doesn't look too bad.
It cuts up moist and sticky... doesn't feel too different from the Tahoe bud I'm smoking now when cut up.
I expect trim to taste super-grassy. While this did taste grassy, that chlorophyll taste wasn't as strong as the sting that has already developed. Got the usual super energy rush high you get from early fluff chop. Feels good. Racing through my feet.
And now a story about food and LA water. I had a really cool chat with the owner of what is now my favorite pizza place in the world.
In the above photo, you see the specialty house spinach tomato and Paul's special (Paul is the guy).
So about Paul. "Why is this pizza so fucking good and authentic NYC?" That thought entered my mind every time I ate there (which was often). Turns out it's because Paul is an Old-School New York Italian. We got to talking and he went into the intricacies of his process. What struck me as a hydro grower was when he told me that he would never use LA water to make his dough and sauce. He has his dough and sauce water trucked in from out of state (Oregon) to replicate the better water in NY. The dough texture, the way it chews, it's all dependent upon the water according to Paul. And that's why LA pizza sucks. And that's why I RO.
Anyhoo, Paul is just like the coolest fuckin' guy. He's a great story teller (big surprise coming from an older Italian-American gentleman)... Real backbone and integrity written all over this man. He gave me the two specialty slices on the house. My usual order of two pep and cheese is under the paper plate. I love this man.
