(Sounds like a classic case of "opposites attract," Len the extrovert, Sharon the introvert.)<br /><br />I love reading all about Ecuador on the many blogs, as I hope to travel down there and check it out with retirement in mind (although at this point hubby's not buying into the whole 'retire abroad' scenario!). But it was fun getting to know you and Len a little better on a "personal" level.Sharon Nuttall at www.ehealthinsurancesolutions.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636984663621244519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607664488623696683.post-31623378482367121162011-10-03T09:25:19.019-07:002011-10-03T09:25:19.019-07:00Gracias for your comments, Michael, and for the re...Gracias for your comments, Michael, and for the recipe link. I love it! <br /> What i was told about making your own coconut milk was this: break open the coconut, catch the coconut water and save. separate the white meat and chunk it up. Put it all in a blender or juicer (I cannot recall if she said a juicer) adding the coconut water back in, and pulverize it until it is creamy for delicious fresh coconut milk. I have not tried it but was told it was way more than twice as delicious as canned.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892426647802720630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607664488623696683.post-81462616336503971592011-10-03T04:21:29.989-07:002011-10-03T04:21:29.989-07:00Hello Sharon;

If you can find peanut oil, it's the best. It doesn't burn easily, but any oil needs to be 340º for frying. If the oil is hot enough, the food won't be greasy. If you have a way to spray oil on the outside, you could try baking them. <br /><br />Several years ago, watched a cooking show with Wolgang Puck, who was making steamed red snapper with Jasmine rice and I have been making it ever since. It's delicious with any meaty fish like sea bass, but you need a bamboo steamer and a pot big enough for it fit in. I have a large wok that I use and it works great. Here is the link to the recipe:<br /><br />http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/wolfgang-puck/asian-style-steamed-snapper-with-baby-bok-choy-recipe/index.html<br /><br />¡Buen provecho--that's bon appetite in SpanishMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144455353601297801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607664488623696683.post-76477892187083043082011-10-02T17:26:31.191-07:002011-10-02T17:26:31.191-07:00I loved your post, Sharon!I loved your post, Sharon!Lizette Pirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17163422261534911056noreply@blogger.com
