#made it with coconut milk

[thesearchforbluejello]

Overshare probably, but when I was a kid, I always assumed I'd have common sense when I was older.

Protein powder has disastrous effects on my digestive system; coffee has moderately less disastrous effects, but still substantial.

What was my bright idea this morning that was shockingly lacking in that common sense I'd assume I'd have by now? I made a protein shake with two shots of espresso in it.

This is having an effect somewhat like I imagine drinking napalm would have.

Thai red curry with green chillies (didn’t have any red chillies left sadly) 🥘🌶️

I thought I had just finally found a plant-based cheese alternative that's both dairy- and coconut-free after literal years of searching, but after taking a closer look at the ingredients it turns out that it's made with...... Whey

Who is this for then?? It's not real cheese so people who eat dairy aren't going to want it, but it's also not dairy-free so vegans and lactose intolerant folks won't want it either. They're out here playing NO sides of the fence, wtf

I didn't have a big enough receptacle to put in all the ingredients the LoZ recipe called for, so it's a less colorful/veggie-laden curry I've made here, but it's the most involved thing I've made and I'm really proud of myself. I cut everything myself and I've never used so much spice.

I've always heard about coconut milk as a good base for a lot of different things, but I've never used it myself. Do you have any recommendations for recipes using it? ^~^

Oh absolutely! As a Caribbean it’s always been my #1 choice for a nondairy milk, so I use it all the time. One note though - if you’re using it for cooking, please get the canned version. The ones in cartons are watered down and don’t have as much of the fat.

I think if you’re just starting using coconut milk, I would definitely recommend using it in a curry! My personal favorite is chana (aka chana masala, aka chickpea curry.) it’s one of my all-time comfort foods, easy to make, and easy to alter as desired. But you could do various other curries… like bean curries, lentil curries, even curry soup… I really like curry.

I’ve also made a pumpkin/squash/sweet potato (whatever I have on hand) pasta sauce, and used coconut milk as the cream! Very good. Honestly if you’re making a creamy pasta I think coconut milk would go well…

And if you wanted to go the baking route, I would definitely suggest making coco bread! Most recipes use butter, but many people use margarine as well. Honestly you could have to coco bread WITH your curry haha, we often eat it with savory foods anyways. :D

But generally curry would be my #1 suggestion because they tend to be quite easy, customizable, and also usually use coconut milk anyways. The idea of a curry using anything else is quite strange to me, but that could just be me.

Started watching Dungeon Meshi, and I won't lie, there's a part of me that wants to try recreating IRL versions of the dishes. I've already seen someone successfully do a version of the sorbet, and it looked awesome -- though a nitpick is that I think they used rainbow sherbet. Then again, I imagine it'd be a pain to make rainbow sorbet.

Though... I imagine it'd be good. Could use coconut for the white, maybe taro for the purple (and it'd complement the coconut flavor), mango for the yellowy bit (would add some nice fruity zing)... Perhaps use pea flower tea for the blue (if it's as "green tea" flavored like as people claim in flavor, it could round out the flavors...). Hm.

ANYWAY, only a part of me is tempted. The rest of me is either too lazy, or too broke to pull something like that off. The cost of food... oof. The first dish, for example, would be pricey no matter how I slice it. I feel like the best dupe for the "huge scorpion" would be a lobster. (Okay, the real best substitute is giant scorpion, but that's too damn hard to track down fresh and requires too much effort to prepare -- the poison glands won't kill you, but you won't have a great time if you eat them.) The slime monster noodles would be cassava noodles, hands down. The rest is easy, standard ingredients.

Ah well, fun to imagine the ways to recreate the dishes.

Had an incident with my mum the other day (not the usual kind of incident a funny one) where I was putting some rice w coconut milk in the rice cooker and she saw me add salt and a bit of brown sugar and was like "you’re adding [those]?" and I'm like "yeah? I always do this?" and she went "doesn't that make it unhealthy?"

And I just had to take a deep breath and say to this woman who has been on this earth for almost six decades: "no, it's not unhealthy to season your food". I know we're white but christ

After drawin so many of my own creatures and other peoples creatures I was itchin for my goobers!!! This works for me as both a hight n size comparison but also outfits that aren't the strange ones Nekopara makes them wear??? Like in general a lot of them are cool in their own right but in context a lot of them dont make sense and also are just too much for me to want to draw. Like why does Azuki dress as a school girl when shes the oldest one there and acts the most mature anyway? Coconuts whole story is about how she feels like she's being forced into growing up too fast and she hates it and she feels really conflicted with her own body, so why does bro dress like shes the most physically confident in the room?? Why is Cinnamon in almost 24'/7 cosplay of magical girls??!?!?! What about Cinnamon has anything to do with magical girls anyway?!?! Also I much prefer to think of Laurier as too tired to put much effort into an outfit despite how much of a ...personizer..? he is (he wearing pajamas) and also his outfit kind of confuses me its like western in a plantation owner way idk its just strange to me. And then Chocola and Vanilla are wearing their bakers outfits from when they go to the Cabins (head insanity) and I thought Maple should be in a suit because. because. :).
