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.

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.

Weed Makes Me Antisocial: Help!

Many people can relate to the experience of “hitting a wall” socially. Introverts, you especially know what I mean. But when self-enforced isolation is weed-induced, does that mean it’s time to reconsider a few habits or routines? Maybe even take a break from weed entirely?

Cannabis has long been negatively associated with laziness and haziness, and although that isn’t always the case with cannabis consumers, it also isn’t that far off from the truth if you haven’t optimized your regimen. Marijuana use, in particular, has occasionally been linked to various mental health and behavioral effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and antisocial behavior, while also being linked to alleviating these same symptoms.
