So, a few months back, I wrote about special brownies. And I got lots of mail (off line) from people sharing their encounters and episodes with me. Pee-in-your-pants funny stuff, some of it. Some stuff not publishable. And me being paranoid (sans brownies), I deleted the emails because I didn't want to have to turn over names and addresses if some overzealous law enforcement official decided to crack down on pot-eating-brownie-food-blog-readers.
But my favorite beyond favorite comment/email was from a woman, H., who very very kindly shared the recipe for how to make pot brownies and explained the chemistry behind special brownies. And seriously, I wanted very badly to either post her comment or share her recipe.
Sadly, I can do neither -- again, paranoia -- but H. -- man you so made my day with that email. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And no, I don't have the recipe any more. But with the joy and wonder of the internet, I'm sure you can find it. Or else, find the original Alice Toklas book with the recipe published in it. Not that I'm advocating anything.
I'm just saying -- I don't have the recipe and I'm not withholding -- so ... M. -- seriously, stop emailing me requesting the recipe. I really don't have it.
;)

I didn't see your follow up request to my comment on previous pot post. I can email the Alice recipe if you wish. Just let me know if you still want it.

Just got back from Cambodia, where about 1 in 10 restaurants -- at least the ones we went to -- offer "happy" pizza or "happy" fruit shakes. Apparently that's the code word over there for pot. One place, I guess trying to upstage the others, called itself Ecstatic Pizza.

This is the worst kind of post - I found something really funny/cool/awesome and I'm not going to tell you about it? It's right up there with the 'I found this cool restaurant! It's awesome! But I'll keep it a secret!'
And while some paranoia/caution is okay, I doubt there is a single law enforcement official dead or alive who cares about someone's pot brownies experience. They usually have real jobs and concerns to keep them occupied.
I love your blog and have read and made recipes for years now, but there was no point to the above post...
PS I'm quitting smoking and am easily frustrated.

Brad -- did you and Jenn get happy? And for all you know, Ecstatic Pizza was serving theirs with Ecstasy or something even better than cannabis?
Tatiana -- oh man, I'm so sorry to upset you?! Not my intention -- I only wanted to thank H. so she didn't think I had banned her comment, and also to ask (beg) M. to stop asking me for the recipe since I really don't have it. And you're right about the law enforcement officials being busy with other things -- in fact, the law enforcement official that inspired me to write the original post was making his own pot brownies. There's a kettle joke here somewhere but I'm too dazed from lack of sleep to find it. Now if you really want the recipe -- the original one -- Barbara (above) actually HAS it. :-)
