No yogurt for you! No fishies for you!

The So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage is delightful! I love it in my coffee (they should make a creamer - hint hint), on my cereal and with my protein shake on mornings I am flying out the door. But, I can't get the darn stuff to turn into yogurt. In my last posting you'll see my ill-fated attempt (and excitement) in making coconut milk yogurt with my first jug of this stuff. Alas, it came out as thin as it first went into the thermos, but tasted strongly of the yogurt starter. Maybe I'll try again.

In sad news: 'Google', my studio's Red Moor Pop-Eyed Goldfish, passed away today after struggling over the weekend of nitrate poisoning. Apparently we discovered the poisoning too late to give him a full recovery. :-(

And since I was feeling rather fishy after flushing my precious goldfish down the toilet (did his tail move? Nope, that's just the water flow Amy), I decided it was time to add an Omega-3 supplement to my diet. Being a vegetarian, and fish lover, I was delighted to find Udo's Choice 3 6 9 "fish free" liquid supplement in the Natural Food Exchange's refrigerated cooler.

So, I pour my fish free Omegas over my pasta and wish Requiescat in pace (may he rest in peace) dear Google.

This must be Heaven

Who knew a Wednesday could be so cool?! I trekked over to the Natural Food Exchange for some of the So Delicious coconut milk (the kind in the refrigerated section), and I also picked up some wheat bran, coconut flakes and sesame seeds.

So Delicious Coconut Milk

So yes, So Delicious' milk is exactly that: So Delicious! Slightly sweet with a subtle coconut flavor at the end. And here I thought this was going to taste like drinking a pina coloda!

I promptly heated two cups of the coconut milk beverage, added a half packet of Yogurmet yogurt starter and poured it into the purple thermos seen in this image. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Nutty Carob Truffles

I ran across this amazing recipe for Nutty Carob Truffles on one of my Twitter friend's blog over a month ago and kept telling myself to make it. I procrastinated for weeks and finally got the rest of the ingredients this morning. These little guys are super tasty. My rendition was as follows:
*Mike's local honey from Jamaica Plain
*Creamy Organic Almond Butter
*Coarse Organic Wheat Bran
*Carob Powder
*Black Organic Toasted Sesame Seeds
*Toasted Organic Walnuts (chopped)
*Zante Currants

I can't wait to share these with my girlfriends at the knitting group tonight!
