Suzi, the only black sticky rice I found was pre-cooked (Annie Chung's at Whole Foods), so the recipes I found that said to cook it in coconut milk, I skipped--just poured some on, and heated it all up. Then poured in about...er...3t of sugar? Ish? To taste. And sprinkled on some salt (the sweet/salty mix is part of what I love about it). Pour a little more coconut milk on. Delicious! :)

Shaolin monks? That's awesome!

The thought of coconut bread makes me want coco bread (not the same thing, but I have never found good jamaican food here in Seattle--in DC there was a random ice cream store run by Jamaicans that had patties and coco bread in addition to the ice cream)

Awesome, Suzi! Coming in second to his sparring partner seems especially impressive. And Shaolin monk seminar!

I know I've made stuff with coconut milk but I can't remember/find any recipes. Bah.

meara, I said something about patties on OKCupid, and got a note from a guy telling me about a truck in a subway station...that I'll probably never be able to get to when they are there, but still. I have hope!

Sara, you look great!

Jesse, I get that the one I submitted to the tumblr isn't exactly news, but I thought it was a different sort of cute.

That is cute! And I already lost the random Christian follower, after a couple of pro-gay posts, I think.

I just came across this Dollhouse thing on Tumblr, and awwww: [link] sniff

I don't cry at length, but I probably cry pretty often. I thought that was just the life of a Supernatural fan, though.

Word.

I know I've made stuff with coconut milk but I can't remember/find any recipes. Bah.

The first time I used it was in a rice dish that sounds very similar to meara's. I ended up with the same problem of left overs. Pina Coladas sounds like a good solution.

Also, after checking, my insurance company made the mistake so I get to keep my adult card. Yay for small things going right.

Used coconut milk the other day with broccoli, sweet potato, pineapple, shrimp, onion, sweet peppers, curry powder, garlic, lime juice.

Today's recipe: Garbanzo beans, whole wheat pasta, sunflower seeds, harvarti, onions, tomato, salt, garlic, sweet basil, marjoram, thyme, lemon juice, olive oil, wine, touch of honey.

re: book to films for Hunger Games and the white font the mutants that was probably the single most disturbing thing in the first book for me and I am not quite sure how I will be able to look at that onscreen and not scream out loud. Wasn't The Dark Knight PG-13? I guess that's probably the limit in how disturbing a PG-13 movie can be.

Okay, this is random, but I need to post it where people will get the reference:

We just got back from seeing a local band at a bar. This is a band that's been around for literally 30 years, so the audience's *average* age was 50-ish (as is the band). And they were dancing their asses off, having a great time.

After a few songs, Tim said to me, "Oh my god, you know what this reminds me of? Band Candy!"

Me: "I don't like this -- they could have heart attacks!"

(I forgot "There are some foxy ladies here tonight!")
