Dear Stoner: I like to snack like a child after smoking weed, but all of a sudden girl dinner is cool now? When did the munchies become acceptable?
Patton
Dear Patton: There is nothing new about the concept of girl dinner — essentially a large plate of snacks, side dishes and other sparingly portioned eats — other than its popularity on social media. Charcuterie boards, tapas and a first-grader left to pack their own lunch could all lay claim to the recipe behind girl dinner. Still, there’s something to be said about creative snack presentation.

I ate mangos, cheese, a half stack of Pringles, celery, peanut butter, frozen tater tots and a few spoons of ice cream for dinner last night — and no one wants to see me detail that with beet-red eyes and a dirty-ass kitchen. Let us embrace any form of internet positivity around adult snacking. It helps us stoners out in the long run, too.
