You got me Aunty....they are lungs......was just having a bit fun with you lot.
Lambs lungs. Her Ladyship cook them, chop them in very small pieces and dry it. It is used as rewards for the dogs. I get lungs from my butcher and pay a few bucks from time to time "for the freezer bill" he says, but mostly I get them for free.
 
Why`d ya have t`put the peas and leeks in it...Why not swap them for spring onions and red pepper? I`d love t`try it without those horrendous `green saboteurs`ruining it all! :biggrin:
Haha! I'm not so found of peppers. I fry peppers for Her Ladyship.

Directions:

First, infuse the half-and-half with banana essence, spices and hash oil. In a 350ºF oven, roast 3 bananas in their skins until they turn black, about 20 minutes. Allow bananas to cool for 30 minutes. Peel and put into a pot with a tight fitting lid along with half-and-half, hash oil cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Cover and heat on lowest setting for 15 minutes. Turn heat off and leave to steep for 1 hour. Strain half-and-half and discard the bananas, bean and cinnamon stick. Refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours until cool.

To make custard:
Whisk sugar, salt, cornstarch and flour together in a pot without heat until blended. Whisk cooled half-and-half into sugar mix slowly until blended. Turn heat onto medium, and whisk constantly until thickened (time will vary, stay vigilant!). Turn off heat. Working very quickly, combine 1/2 cup of the hot mixture with the lightly whisked egg yolks. (Do not stop stirring here, or your eggs will scramble!)

Add another 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg mix, and whisk tempered eggs into the remaining hot mixture for 3 minutes. Whisk cannabutter into custard, one tablespoon at a time until combined and velvety. Cover with plastic wrap directly on custard skin and allow to rest at room temperature for an hour.

Bake pie crust and cool.

To make caramelized banana slices:
Melt 1/4 cup butter and combine with honey and lemon juice. Slice 5 bananas into 1/4" medallions and coat in the caramel mixture. Place slices of banana on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Broil on high until lightly browned, then remove from oven and let cool.

To assemble pie:
Line entire pie crust with caramelized bananas. Fill crust with cannabis custard. Top pie with remaining bananas. Chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set until firm.

Garnish with whipped cream and enjoy
 
Congress Finally Approves Medical Marijuana for Veterans

Veterans struggling to gain access to medical marijuana caught a major break last week at the hands of Congress.

On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate put their seal of approval on an amendment that would prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from dipping into the federal budget to stop Uncle Sam’s doctors from providing patients with recommendations to use medical marijuana.

This is the first time in American history that both chambers have seen eye to eye on an amendment of this kind—a move that stands to eliminate restrictions that have kept the men and women of the United States military from having legal access to a safer alternative to dangerous prescription drugs.

"The death rate from opioids among VA health care is nearly double the national average," Representative Earl Blumenauer, who introduced the House amendment, said prior to the vote. "From what I hear from veterans is that medical marijuana has helped them deal with pain and PTSD, particularly as an alternative to opioids."

Although cannabis advocates felt confident the amendment would make its way through the Senate once again this year, there was some concern that the House would continue to reject the measure. For the past two years, the lower chamber has prevented the amendment from going the distance—stomping it out by narrow margins. But, after some debate, House lawmakers voted 233-to-189 in favor of allowing the amendment to move forward under a larger Military Appropriations Bill.

As expected, the Senate did not waste any time supporting the amendment. Although some pot advocates argued a positive outcome was not a sure thing, by Thursday afternoon, lawmakers in the upper chamber voted 89-to-8 in favor of allowing VA doctors the ability to discuss medical marijuana as a potential treatment option.

Both chambers of Congress will now head to the negotiation table in order to reach an agreement on a solitary amendment that can be tucked inside the 2017 Military Construction Appropriations Bill. Since both the House and the Senate have approved the amendment, there is a better-than-average chance that it will be included in the final 2017 Fiscal Year budget that is slated to be signed by President Obama at the end of the year.

National marijuana advocacy groups applauded Congress for finally taking the appropriate steps to tear down the barriers that have prevented veterans all over the nation from using medical marijuana in states where it is legal.

“Prohibiting VA doctors from recommending medical marijuana does nothing to help our veterans,” Robert Capecchi, director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project, states in an emailed statement. “Current VA policy is preventing physicians from thoroughly monitoring patients’ medication decisions and engaging in frank conversations about available treatment options. It dramatically undermines the doctor-patient relationship.”

“This measure removes unnecessary barriers to medical marijuana access for the men and women who have volunteered to serve in our armed forces,” Capecchi continued. “It will save veterans time and money, and it will allow them to have more open and honest discussions with their primary care providers.”
