Just thinking back on this @alteredplateshospitality menu by @chefholdenjagger: Steak au poivre, sage and butternut squash gnocchi (slightly out of frame, LMK if you want a closer look 😂), mussels, crispy and creamy cauliflower - all paired with sungrown flower and cannacocktails. Which dish do you pick?
❤️😍❤️

It’s March 1, and Spring is ✨in✨ the air in Southern California! This month also marks one year of living in our new normal, and one year of me missing connecting with my flower-loving community! So much has changed for us all in this time, and I am grounded in knowing that I have so much to be grateful for - even in times of difficulty. Spend some time searching for the beauty in your world today, and tell someone you love them! I’m sending you all so much love from afar. 🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖

This time last year, I had BIG PLANS to turn this little virtual corner of the world into a travel and restaurant (and 🌱, obvs) haven. Well, we all know how that went. 🤷🏻‍♀️💩#2020saidno

Good thing I have approximately ten thousand photos of food on my camera roll from Ye Olden Times, and amazingly, I can look back at each of these photos and effortlessly recall the restaurant, the company, and the flavors of the dish so fully - even years later! Food has such a special power to transport you somewhere else entirely - even if it’s just fond memories of travels and restaurants past. While some of these meals were special/work related, some of these were just for the love of great flavor and meals with friends, so they each make me happy for a different reason. ❤️🌸❤️

Have you been to any of these restaurants? Will you support me on my journey to eat at every restaurant ever? Do you want to see more Things I Ate Once? #iloverestaurants #saverestaurants

🌸FLORAL🌸 We talk a lot about terpenes and th

🌸FLORAL🌸 We talk a lot about terpenes and their role in cannabis flavors and aromas, but let’s simplify things even further for a moment. When I evaluate cannabis, I will frequently organize flower into a few key flavor categories: Fruity, floral, earthy, spicy, and herbal. While these flavors do tend to correspond with the key terpenes in cannabis, let’s be real: Not everyone has access to lab-tested flower, and even if you do, terpene test results don’t always line up with what you’re tasting. 🤯 So I try to use my three-step tasting method to tease out flavors in these categories as an alternative to terpene-focused evaluations. Of course, many of these flavors cross over and interact with each other, but there does tend to be a dominant flavor in each variety.

I’ll be sharing more about these other flavors in the future, first but let’s take a closer look at the 🌸Floral🌸 category! In general, these varieties are sweet on both the nose and the palate, and floral notes will frequently mingle with fruit and earth notes in really beautiful ways.

Look for: roses, lavender, violets, orange blossoms, honeysuckle, magnolia blossom, jasmine, geraniums

Find in: Orange Jasmine, Cotton Candy Kush, White Widow, Strawberry Haze, Northern Light, Vanilla Haze

What do you think of this tasting technique, and what’s your favorite floral flower? #tastings #tastingnotes #terpenesmatter #florals

Don’t mind me, just over here reliving fond memo

Don’t mind me, just over here reliving fond memories of working with @curedesignstyle, @3c.dtla, and @stayingoldcocktails to pair the 3c Lime Sherbet with a classic cherry lime rickey against the backdrop of a killer pool party.🥳 Bright citrus on citrus and sweet on sweet made for a perfect match, and the classic Maraschino cherry notes packed the perfect syrupy counterbalance to the puckering sour lime. Such a simple, fun pairing, and ✨obviously ✨perfect for a pool party! Are you ready to start planning pool parties yet? 🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋🍒🍋 #pairings #limesherbet #sherbet #cherrylimerickey #cherries🍒 #poolpartydecor #thegoodolddays

Go to the dog beach, they said. Bring your two doodles, toddler and infant, they said. Go on the windiest day of the year, they said. ✨It will be fun✨they said. 😝

Despite some crazy wind, sand literally ✨everywhere✨ and schlepping all of the stuff, people, and dogs, I did manage to have a nice little day at the beach yesterday, thanks in part to some cannabinoid goodness from the newly released @pabstlabs Original Lemon infused seltzer!

It’s very exciting to see a player like @pabstblueribbon enter the cannabis space, and this seltzer offers all of the hallmarks that made PBR a hipster favorite all along: It’s effortlessly drinkable, low-fi cool, and always sets the stage for a good time. It’s sunny and citrus-kissed, and with 5 mg. THC in a nicely sized 12 oz. slim can, makes for the perfect discrete sipper when you need to chill TF out and just accept that your dog jumped into a swampy beach pond, your baby has sand in her ears, your other dog tried to run away with multiple groups of strangers, and your toddler is eating popcorn and sand with equal abandon. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #momlife I guess!

On last night’s episode of @herbandsmokeshow, I made this delicious THC mocktail called the Honey Harmony with @drinkmalus from @harmonycraftbeverages. Malus is a cider-inspired, live resin-infused quaff that’s deliciously drinkable on its own and also makes a great base for super easy cannacocktails if you want to fancy it up a bit. Also, I should mention that the honey oat milk foam is ✨sent from the heavens✨ and I may or may not have chugged the leftover foam on its own (jk 💯 did).

Honey Harmony
¼ oz. ginger simple syrup*
½ oz. lemon juice
Harmony Craft Beverages Malus Granny Smith OG
Honey oat milk foam**

Combine ginger simple syrup and lemon and stir over ice; strain and pour into a coupe. Top with Malus and honey oat milk foam.

*Ginger simple syrup: Bring one cup of water to a boil, stir in 1 cup of honey and 1 TBS peeled diced ginger. Remove from heat and let ginger steep for 30-45 minutes (or to taste). Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

** Using a frothing wand, combine 1 cup oat milk and 1 tablespoon honey.
