Wowza! These sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Coconut cream and coconut milk are about the same but the cream has more pulp/(cream). The milk usually has a bit of cream that settles on top so i shake the can... "cream of coconut' has added sugars and such. I don't buy that since I can add my own sweetener to taste. (check your labels). I think it is used for adult drinks and pies/cakes but you can add your own sweet to coconut cream and get the same thing. I have a few cans staring at me above my coffee grinder in the pantry. Milk and water. Labels can be deceiving. My coconut milk says 98 calories but the serving is 7 for 11oz. The coconut water is 130 calories for the 11oz can. (one serving) My husband does not care for it much. He prefers plain rice, not my coconut rice even with curries. (unless i tell him ahead of time...he expects plain brown rice, nice and nutty.) I love coconut milk and may have overdone it last year...i actually like pure rice, its own flavor. Anywho, i'm using it tonight. I have leftover 'plain' rice and rich savory chicken thighs. I'm having the best garden season ever with the rain, sun, and high heat. Usual veggies are bolting so i have a tiny one of everything. Cuke, zuke, a tiny eggplant and a giant bag of thai basil. Even the broccoli bolted but i have a bit. (sounds dismal but the tomatoes, salads, fruits, and others are so much appreciative of the unusual heat) I shook my can and split it. Made a dressing with half a habanero, green onion, garlic, half a lemon, ev olive oil, thai basil...and the coconut milk. So good. I'll use just a bit on tender salad greens. (my dressing for the rest of the week) The other half of the can...saute a shallot, 2 cloves garlic, the other half of the habanero, diced celery, my 6 tiny halved tomatoes,lol, (soon i will have bushels of toms), the 6 peas from pod, 4 snap peas and the other tiny veggies ...add the coconut milk and chicken meat that i will pick off the bones...simmer on low 20 min, add a big squeeze of lemon...serve with the rice and top with that beautiful thai basil. (if i have company i add a thin slice of lemon on the serving) I don't have the recipe on hand...but it is called 'Summer-Curry-In-A-Hurry'. Not a traditional curry at all. Just using fresh early crop when we have a tiny mix of so many 'everything'. If shopping in a grocery, just buy one of everything. Black seedless grapes halved are a good substitute for crap out of season tomatoes. Expensive usually but just take a small stem of a few dozen out of that bag. Sold by weight. Just buy what you want....a peeve of mine about per item sold/vs. selling by weight. -My husband will like this with the citrus and the habanero heat...and the thai basil. (i hope so)

A while ago I posted about a very cheap machine I have that makes "ice cream" out of frozen fruit. You just freeze mango, banana, strawberries, apples - anything and put it through the machine. Bananas give a lovely creaminess. You can add chunks of cookies, frozen yogurt, add maple syrup... anything but it's just luch healthier than custard-based ones.
