Brownies: then and now (cannabis, of course)

Back in the "good old days," we tossed the ganja into the brownie mix and spit out the seeds. If we were really lucky and bought the "good stuff, man," we'd get a high from around 5mg of THC per piece. Below is a photo of my first pot brownies in nearly 50 years. Our very unscientific testing suggests we're getting around 150mg of THC per 1-1/2" square. My, how things have changed since legalization.
I should note that the cannabis strain we use has a very high CBD component as well as significant levels of THC since we bake for both the Medical and Recreational community.

Comments (13)oh lordy! What a mess! #1 my oven is not level. Half of it burned before it was half done. #2 I must not have sprayed the pan well enough. It wouldn't come off. I banged the pan on the counter, and some came loose, enough to taste. Tried scraping the rest off and crumbs flew EVERYWHERE. It's in the sink, soaking What I tasted was ok tho...See MoreMulit-Course Dinner- Help
Comments (34)It's a beautiful table! No faux pas. I only see two condiment dishes, so I assume those are serving pieces, like the vegetable bowl, not part of place settings? Rules (which I don't see broken in your photo): Flatware (American): forks on the left, knife and spoons on the right, knife edge toward plate, forks and spoons first used on the outside working their way in towards the plate. Auxiliary fork and spoon may be placed at the top of the plate (e.g., fish fork and dessert spoon), in the direction as if they swam straight up there from where the bigger ones are (i.e., fork tines pointing right, spoon bowl pointing left). Butter only knives may also be placed above the main plate, but are usually diagonally across the bread plate. Glasses go above the knives and spoons (and diagonally down the right side a bit if need be) in order of (theoretical) largest inmost, so water, (soft drink or mixed drink), red wine, white wine, coffee. Think largest nose space rather than tallest. :) Salad plate to the left of the forks and bread plate above the forks. If there's only one of these, the places can be interchanged depending on what is most comfortable on your table. Nut bowls, individual seasonings and condiments, etc., as well as place cards, go above the plate and auxiliary flatware, wherever they best fit and make an appealing look, though generally the food to the left and seasoning to the right. (That is, if there's a nut bowl and individual salt an pepper the nuts should be left of the S&P, but it might look prettier to put the S&P on either side of the nut bowl, and that's perfectly fine.) If there are several foods, e.g., olives, nuts and compote, they should be arranged left to right in order of when they'll be eaten. But this group is all pretty loosey goosey and goes back to what's practical and what fits and looks best. For any of these rules, there are exceptions and whole different ways of doing things. I only put them up to reassure you that your table is "right". It is also fine to set for the first course and clear between courses. The "rule" for that is that you should replace a dish with a dish as you change courses, but in practicality, you can clear one course completely first. Assuming you don't have a footman for every guest. :) That's why formal place settings are as complex as they are. So there isn't a lot of bustle and asking, "Who needs a fork?" That's definitely family style. :) Plus, a fully set table is a way to show off your pretty things. :)...See MoreCannabis ???
Comments (19)No, we did not get the auto flower cannabis. Ours is a strain that has been hybridized to give the most CBD with the lowest THC. We were also looking for a strain that is more indicia than sativa. This is where we are starting. If we are able to get some useful flower from this and if we end up with a tincture that proves to be good for pain, we will branch out and try something else next year. If this turns out to be a bunch of nothing we will just be happy that the plants were lovely and, and that we learned something new. BTW, I have a cousin in Ohio who had brain surgery for a meningioma 18 years ago. The tumor was removed with no further treatment required but the tracheal intubation which was necessary during surgery left her with nerve damage resulting in cluster headaches on the side of her face and forehead; they would almost drop her to the floor. She saw every Dr., had every test, had laser treatments, jaw manipulation, special mouth apparatus to change the roof of her mouth. Nothing worked. Last year at this time she was on 6 - 7 Percocet's a day...can you imagine that? One of those things would make me throw up for a few hours then put me out for another few. Even with all that, she still had pain. She now manages her pain with medical marijuana, two drops under her tongue twice a day. She is now down to one Percocet a day. It has changed her life. We hope to find that type of 'miracle' for Mary's husband. Thanks, All. sooey...See MoreCooking with Cannabis - Congratulations to the new legal states
Comments (43)Look at the language of a suspect post as well. People who are first timers and add to older threads usually come in two types: An addition to the previous content, usually not realizing how old the thread is, or a new question that relates to the title (people used to fora with thread police who believe in more length, fewer threads). When there's a post that doesn't ask for help, or make any reference to the foregoing conversation, but instead is a blurb which could be posted in any thread, anywhere it would be vaguely on topic, and has a commercial link to an obscure website (not, here it is on Amazon, FYI stuff), you can be pretty sure it's spam....See Morefawnridge (Ricky)
