Beyond the basics cooking class/knife class

Anyone know of someone teaching culinary schools to young teens that isn’t a day camp format? Particularly looking for something that could be a precursor to NOCCA culinary — knife skills, food safety, foundational but not for little kids.

Favorite food delivery to Midtown

My teen and I are flying in this evening and he’s asked to have a night just hanging out at our hotel in Midtown. We’re going to order food but I always fall into analysis paralysis.
What are your favorite delivery restaurants on Uber Eats or DoorDash? We’re both foodies from New Orleans and up for anything.

EDIT: Landed to some great suggestions, sounds like we’ll be walking! Forgot to mention my dude just got braces so the soft options are the winners

Why do the edibles show D9?

Help a brand new shopper out. I got my medical card to move on from D9 because I prefer the effects of regular (don’t jump on me if my science isn’t right) THC. I don’t smoke or vape, so I’m limited in what I can use.

Why do the edibles from GDF and Ayo at NOLA Cannabis say they’re D9? Can’t you just get these without a MM card?

Edit: Nevermind. Appears I’m the only old person who has ever been confused by the D9 labeling since that’s what’s on the products you can purchase without a card. Take me back to the days when it was all just called weed.

What’s the friendliest dispensary with THCA products in a super low dose I could use for my elderly parents?

I’m in town visiting my elderly parents and am going to get my mom a sample of a suuuuuper low dose delta-9 product to see if it helps her anxiety/sleep. I’m from here but have lived out of state too long now to know newer places. Are there any shops in town that carry products that are labeled like these low dose you see advertised? Think Mr. Moxey or Dad Grass or the like. If no places have it I can get a normal dose and cut it up but if it’s packaged cute she’ll feel less like she’s a delinquent.
I am a 50 year old delinquent, but trying to respect her feelings.

My 13 year old was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD late last year. He’s generally unmotivated, doesn’t like school, is hard to get to do activities off a screen, etc. We started him on 18mg Concerta and then moved him up to 27mg (or whatever the next highest dose is) a few months later after not seeing much impact with 18mg. He has always been sort of too tuned into his body and has anxiety about every little twinge or pain, but says that he wants to decrease the dose or try a different med because he says he is experiencing heart palpitations. At his last check-in his blood pressure was borderline high and we are monitoring it. I’m completely open to changing meds for this reason obviously, as well as because we’re not seeing big change. If he is experiencing heart palpitations and higher blood pressure with Concerta is it likely to be the same on other stimulants? Are there non-stimulant options that are actually effective.

He’s never been a kid who likes school and struggles with feeling overwhelmed by even a low level of homework. He often cries about being “over-scheduled” even with one activity or fewer each week. He also is increasingly unwilling to do any activities where there is a “crowd,” even at activities he’s used to or if he’s there with a group of friends. I myself have huge social anxiety and understand it, and understand that medication is the most helpful intervention for this. Are there any meds that can help with both anxiety and ADHD?
