Very interesting... be sure to report back on that!

Not as often as I'd like to but I do at times. I have a vitamix which makes it easy. Our coop gets young coconuts sometimes so when they have them I make the coconut milk from them. Easy enough to make almond, etc in the vitamix. I just find it goes bad really fast so if I'm going to use it in 24 hours I'll make a batch in proportion to how much I will be able to use.

if your fortunate to have a vita mix and im coming in late to this they are also great for veggie smoothies, if not i purchased a ninja for my veggie smoothies and it works just as well. best blender i have had thus far.

Good to know. I need to get something. My Cuisinart blender that I loved needs a new container. The motor is fine, the blade unit stopped working. Cant fix it.
Its a great blender too. Takes down ice into a fine grind pretty fast. I use a blender a lot for soups and sauces. In the hot weather I like to mix ice, a little juice, fresh fruit and water to make a hydrating drink and stay away from soda.
Although this summer I drank a lot of gatorade G2 just to stay alive. lol

the ninja has the multiblade thing going on its most interesting breaks things down quickly, i also use it to grind my coffee beans as well.

I have the master prep pro system....I paid half of what the website is asking for though..

He absolutely refused *wry smile* so we eliminated wheat, dairy, and all fats, then slowly added things back in. The first fat back in was olive oil, because we had tabouli specifically to get some olive oil and lemon juice into his sytem.
Feel free to send address. :cheesy: No promises, but I'll do my best.

I dunno if I ever told you, but I learned to make biscuits trying to find a good recipe to send you buttermilk biscuits. By the time I finally found one, you had a girlfriend, lol....

Ah yes, but I find coconut milk to be a little... tricky. Great on cereal... not so much in mashed potatoes. *wry look*

My boss built a wood oven in his yard. He worked for years at Chez Panisse and wanted to recreate their oven. Every year we have our holiday party at his house and we make our own custom pizzas! It is super fun and I love watching the oven. The heat is intense! Looking forward to it this year!

We had cupcakes at a baby shower baked with coconut oil. The woman who made them did not have canola oil that the recipe called for so she used coconut oil instead. They were delicious! Very moist with a hint of coconut flavor.

I guess so! I tend to eat more green chili when I go out --

I know a lot of folks who do "christmas" with their chile selection-- red/green combo.

Oh how interesting! Maybe it depends on the brand you use? The coconut oil I use is completely tasteless. I wouldn't mind the coconut flavor in baked goods though.

Coconut MILK, on the other hand, has that flavor... which yanno is what went wrong with my smashed taters, lol.... I learned in a hurry to use almond milk with savory items.

I concur. Especially when topped with honey roasted pecans.

I had a girlfriend? :|

Huh??

But...but...I still had no buttermilk bisquits!!

Oh lord this will surely amuse my ex if she ever reads this. Cant think of one time that she baked! LOL. Too funny.

So deprived...not one home baked buttermilk bisquit in years and years and I cant remember how long its been. *sigh*

LOL
