Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Sounds good! I was wondering if they'd be close to the infamous Alice B. Toklas Brownies... I guess not. Seems Alice's were more in the fruit cake family... I am not advocating, only as a point of culinary history am I sharing the below recipe. Alice B. Toklas Cookbook was published in the 1950s. Alice B. Toklas Brownies The original recipe, although rather vague as to directions, may conceivably be summarized as follows: 1 tsp. black peppercorns 1 whole nutmeg 4 sticks cinnamon 1 tsp. coriander 1 handful stone dates 1 handful dried figs 1 handful shelled almonds 1 handful peanuts A bunch of cannabis sativa ( " picked and dried as soon as it has gone to seed and while the plant is still green " ) 1 cup sugar 1 large pat of butter Grind the pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and coriander in a mortar. Chop and mix the dates, figs, almonds, and peanuts. Grind the cannabis and mix it with the spices; dust this mixture over the fruits and nuts. Mix the sugar with the butter and knead this together with the fruits, nuts, spices, and cannabis. Eat with care - two pieces are quite sufficient. " The cat did not respond. She did not believe in paraphrasing anybody. If people pursued this same feline wisdom, there'd be a lot fewer misunderstandings.
