I recently started smoking pot again, I hated it for the last 8 years. I was a dedicated stoner for a decade before I found H. After that, weed would make me dwell on the most negative aspects of my life for hours. Been off dope for 5 years and was offered some " wax" the other night. I was surprised at how positive the experience was. I banged out a solid tasting menu in an hour instead of 4, I completed the winter menu changes and I woke up without back pain. When I was in my early 20's I would walk around Philly, stoned, listening to music and daydream about flavor combinations. 10 years later and I'll still indulge in serious flavor bridging compositions ( like 6 degrees of kevin bacon but with ingredients to make a cohesive dish). Maybe it's my experience or age but I'm able to focus and make leaps of logic that define my style easier. I'm not going to use smokonut or smokacola in a dish because its fun to say like I used to. I already have my theme and 3 potential dishes that are good as they are but they fit the concept too. I never thought that I'd enjoy weed again but maybe being off that shit and feeling good about the food we put out every night has made the introspection more positive and creative. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if pine needle smoked apple glaze shows up, cuz it's like my take on pineapple.
