	<b>Aliceb> B. Toklas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		<b>Aliceb> B. Toklas (April 30, 1877– March 7, 1967) was the lover of writer Gertrude Stein.
		She was born <b>Aliceb> Babette Toklas in San Francisco, California into a middle-class Jewish family and attended schools in both San Francisco and Seattle.
		This lent her name to the range of cannabis concoctions called <b>Aliceb> B. Toklas brownies.

	<b>Aliceb> B. Toklas brownie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name derives from <b>Aliceb> B. Toklas, the lover of Gertrude Stein, who included a recipe for "Haschich Fudge" in her 1954 <b>Aliceb> B. Toklas Cook Book, a volume intended not so much as a cookbook but as reminiscences on her life with Ms.
		However, it is equally likely that the <b>Aliceb> be tokin' explanation is a folk etymology created by people who mis-heard <b>Aliceb> B. Toklas as <b>Aliceb> B. Tokin', without any doubt due to the ubiquitous association of the works of Lewis Caroll with all things psychedelic.
		The brownie, rather than the writer, lent its name to the 1968 film I Love You, <b>Aliceb> B. Toklas, in which a character portrayed by Peter Sellers becomes disillusioned with his mainstream life after falling in love with a free spirit, only to become just as disillusioned with the hippie subculture.

		<b>Aliceb> and Gertrude spent many hours in various locations in France proofreading Stein's manuscripts, a daunting task when French copywriters are producing the galley's and some of Stein's sentences ran over several pages.
