cooking weed with cody on weed Cody Manthei wrote this Jesus Chronic Christ, it’s 4/20 again! Time to sit back, roll up forty-seven joints, turn on some “Party in the USA” by newlydiscovered reefer lover Miley Cyrus, and just chillax your brain right out of your ear holes. As if 4/20 wasn’t chill enough already, it’s on a Saturday this year. We all know that for every other person in the world it’s just another Saturday, but for us stoners -- well, actually I’m not a stoner, due to the fact that Mother reads my articles from time to time. Hello, Mother! But for you stoners this is a momentous Saturday. Unfortunately, you’ll probably do what you do every Saturday: smoke weed and play Mortal Kombat. But for those of you who want to venture out of the methodical world of bongs and blunts, why not try baking the most delicious pot brownies that have ever graced your quivering, cottonmouthed lips? I’m talking about penetrating fudge that doesn’t melt, but trickles to every hidden nook in your mouth, almost causing you to choke and die before taking you on a one-way trip to Flavor Country. I’m talking like, life-affirming, transport you to another dimension where pocket watches are still a thing and you’re the frontman for R.E.M., even though you’ve never really left your couch. I say this from experience, as I’ve just consumed four of these aforementioned heavenly delights. Just as Jesus spread the word of God, so shall I spread the word of Kush Christ and bestow this recipe upon you, dear reader. You’re going to want to start with making the perfect oil. I prefer peanut oil, but if you have an extreme nut allergy I would try something else—maybe soil? No, wait, soy oil? Wait, that can’t be right. And I’m sure it’s not Castrol synthetic oil, because I think that goes in your car. Guttersnipes, I forgot to get my oil changed yesterday. Maybe I’ll get my tires aligned as well, I mean, I’m going to be at the same place anyway; it won’t take too much longer. Plus, the Buick has been pulling a little to the right. Yeah, I’ll do that too. Self-note to Cody: align tires. What were we talking about? Oh, right, brownies. For the batter, I choose one that has a good mix of chocolate and vanilla to symbolize a harmonized balance. You know, “balance” is kind of a funny word if you think about it. I always want to spell it with two “L’s”, because I think “ball,” but I know that’s not right. You don’t say “ball-ance,” although, I think I could appropriately mingle in a society where that was a thing. How’d your batter turn out, folks? Mine is great, sticky... buttery… it feels like my hands might now be a permanent part of this keyboard. Jesus, are we all cyborgs now? Am I a cyborg!? Wait, nope, false alarm—if that was true that drink of water would have scrambled my motherboard. Oh no, Mother! Stop reading!

You’re going to want to preheat your oven, say, six notches? I don’t know—every oven is a little bit different. They’re kind of like fingerprints—most people have them, but they’re vastly different from one another. Now, once you pull your brownies out of the stove—wait, the stove is the one on top and that is not where your brownies should be. They should be in the microwave, covered in butter—weed butter. And make sure that you put the weed in the butter—that way your nut allergy won’t go nuts! See that? With the nut thing? Just a little joke for a joke paper—wait, am I writing a joke on papers or a paper on jokes for class? Whatever, pretty sure my professor tokes up on the reg.

And there you have it! That’s how you make the best pot brownies on the block. These bad girls will put you in another world, man. Did I tell you to pick peanut oil? That’s what I use, but I don’t want your allergies to go “nuts!” Just thought I’d leave you with that little joke, everyone. Enjoy responsibly, and probably don’t eat five. Whoa, I’m just now realizing the appeal of the National Geographic Channel. This has been Cody Manthei’s Cooking with Weed with Cody in Cody’s Kitchen With Weed.
