Note From Chef Carosi

I'm not sure if I know of another dish that has this worldly of a reach... aka: whitepot, sweet rice, arroz con leche, arroz con dulce, du riz lait, morocho, congee, amazake, hasty pudding, sutlija, tameloriz, rizogalo, milchreis, bodino di riso, payasam, phinni, kheer, firni and of course- rice pudding.


Every country and family has their own list of ingredients and techniques that lead to their divine version of rice porridge. Some rice puddings are thickened with the addition of egg and use dairy, this recipe relies on the creaminess of the particular variety of rice and mainly the technique, it is also dairy free. 

Pineapple Express, the Sativa dominant hybrid child of Trainwreck and Hawaiian is the strain of choice to balance the level of comfort and creativity. With overtones of fresh cut pineapple, green apple, and mango- likened to a fresh Hawaiian fruit stand.

As a professional culinarian and chef that has openly admitted my enormous rice pudding addiction and should possibly seek a rice pudding support groups help, I really just wanted to share another recipe to add to your arsenal, one with a velvety mouthfeel and nuances of sweet full fat cannabis and coconut milk. 

Equipment Needed

  • medium saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • rasp
  • rubber spatula
  • bowls for serving this awesome pudding

  • ½ vanilla bean (split + scraped)

  • 1½ cups organic arborio rice
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk (14ozs)

How To Make It

1. In a large saucepan combine the milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, scraped vanilla bean, ginger, and rice.

2. Simmer over moderate heat, stirring constantly until the rice is tender and suspended in a thick creamy sauce, about 35 minutes or so.

4. Stir in the full fat coconut milk, the cornstarch slurry, and simmer an additional 15-20 minutes or so, stirring constantly.

5. Make sure the rice is done or at least to the tooth, stir and let cool at room temp for 15 minutes.

6. Spoon the rice pudding into your desired serving vessels and chill overnight. (some like to eat the pudding when it’s still warm).

7. Garnish with your choice of toppings like diced fresh pineapple, pomegranate seeds, full fat coconut milk drizzle, dried pineapple chips, dried persimmon chips and fresh mint leaves.

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.

Aging & Cannabis: New Findings

For decades, cannabis has been widely regarded as a substance with potential cognitive risks, particularly when used over long periods. Governments across the globe have classified it as a controlled substance, citing concerns about the effects of marijuana use, including memory loss, diminished executive function, and long-term neurological impact. But new research is challenging this long-standing assumption, suggesting that cannabis use may not be linked to age-related cognitive decline—and might even be associated with better cognitive preservation over time.

A recent study published in PubMed (NIH, 2024) followed over 5,000 men for more than four decades to analyze the long-term cognitive effects of cannabis use. The results? Men with a history of cannabis use experienced less cognitive decline from early adulthood to late midlife compared to those who never used cannabis.
