Make your own granola. Here's a heady recipe:)

Snow Dog's "Heady" Hippie Trippin' Granola
thanks to Dan Williamson

Recipe Ingredients:

* 1 60's folk rock album (Donovan, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas & Papas, or the like)
* 1 stick incense
* 5 C. rolled oats
* 1 1/3 C. wheat germ
* 1 C. sliced almonds
* 1 C. sunflower seeds (unsalted)
* 1 C. banana chips, crumbled
* 1 C. coconut
* 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
* 1/2 C. honey
* 1/2 C. vegetable oil
* 1 C. dried mangoes, dried blueberries, raisins, or the like (optional)

Cooking instructions:

Blow dust off turntable and clean needle. Play album and light incense. Mix all other dry ingredients except dried fruit together in a big bowl. Stir together vanilla, honey, and oil in a small bowl until well blended. Pour this mixture into dry ingredients and mix well with both hands (you can use a spoon or gloves if you're squeamish about this). Spread mixture onto 2 cookie sheets and bake at 300 degrees for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool and store in airtight container.

Variations/Hints:

Omit the dried fruit and bake for only 20 minutes if you will be using the granola for Hippie Trippin' Granola Bars.

Comments:

For maximum hippie trippin' results, do not cut hair or shave for 6 months prior to making recipe. Do not substitute Jefferson Starship or (worse yet) Starship for Jefferson Airplane CD or results will be inedible.
