Here's a recipe for Happy Chulent that one seasoned "cook" shared with the JTA -- he guarantees it will uplift your Shabbat spirits.<br /><br />HAPPY CHULENT<br />Ingredients:<br />3 1/2 grams dried marijuana<br />1/2 cup olive oil<br />1 onion<br />3 cloves fresh garlic<br />3 potatoes<br />2 sweet potatoes<br />1 cup barley<br />1 can baked beans<br />2 teaspoons salt<br />1 tablespoon paprika<br />3 tablespoons Frank's hot sauce<br />1/4 cup ketchup<br />1 piece flanken with bones<br />2 cups water<br /> <br />Preparation:<br />Heat oil over low flame. <br />Grind marijuana by sprinkling with hand or by using grinder. <br />Add to oil, keep on low flame for 20 minutes or until weed turns light brown. <br />Pour content through sifter, throw out weed residue, and pour oil into bottom of crock pot, put on high high setting. <br />Saute onion into oil, add rest of ingredients, cook on low setting overnight. <br />Serves 8-10; <br />Side effects will take 20-30 minutes to kick in if served hot.<br /><br />Eliezer Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.com
