Pass de Dutchie- Cooking with Marijuana

Pot has come a long way since marijuana brownie days.  I came across this article on The Huffington Post, showing how popular it is to mix it into different dishes all around the world. Am I late on this??? lol

Bhang Ki Thandai
In India, the fresh leaves and flowers of the female Cannabis sativa plant are ground to a paste and mixed with milk, nuts, and spices in a potent shake that's popular during March's raucous Holi festival.

Mad'joun
Moroccans mix toasted marijuana tops or hashish with dried fruit, nuts, honey, and spices for the psychoactive confection mad'joun, which means "love potion" in Arabic.

Mie Aceh
In Indonesia's Aceh region, marijuana pops up in unexpected places. The spicy noodle dish mie aceh, a hawker favorite, sometimes has a unique earthy quality, thanks to a touch of pot leaves.

I'm sure the mixture isn't potent, but I wonder how you feel after one of these -_-

Beet- Thai

Thai is one of my many favorite foods.  It taste good and is super cheap.  Beet is in Park Slope, Brooklyn and is kind of small but still your typical thai spot.

Godiva Chocolate Martini & Mangojito
Both drinks were good. The martini was sweet with a nice little kick!


Boiled Veggie Dumplings

Soft Shell Crab
The sauce was really good and the crab was laid on bread with tomatoes like a bruschetta.
If you've never tried soft shell crab, please do so soon.  It's really good, soft and easier to eat than regular crab.

Brooklyn Basil- shrimp, squid, scallop, onion, bell pepper, mushroom, basil, baby corn, roasted chili sauce

Chicken Basil- garlic, onion, carrot, bell pepper, baby corn, fresh mushroom, spicy chili sauce.  (You choose the meat to add)

Seafood Mango Green Curry Sauce- shrimp, squid, scallop, bamboo, eggplant, bell pepper, basil & mango

Coconut Sorbet

Mango Moose Cake
Both desserts were on point! Island girls can't stay away from mangoes and coconuts ;)
