Hi, kids. It’s been a really rough week for me. I’ve had to deal with a broken sink, bad news from various friends and, worst of all, a malicious virus on my computer. It’s the Malware Defense, and if any of you have had to deal with it, you know how heinous it is. My entire week was taken up w
ith combating this vicious thing and in the end, I had to wipe out my computer and reload my OS. It’s going to take me days to reload all my programs. A couple of programs I lost altogether because I no longer have the installation disks. <huge sigh> The people who created this obviously have knowledge and skill—why can’t they use their powers for good? I hope the proper karma is in store for the people who sit around and come up with this stuff. People like that are a waste of humanity.
Anyway, on with the show.
shredded coconut, chunks of coconut, and coconut milk. It’s not that I was jonesing for Southeast Asian or African food, or even coconut—it was a decision of practicality. I decided that if I was going to go to the trouble of cracking open a coconut and working to get the meat out, I’d might as well do two coconuts at once and have enough for all the recipes that require it. So that’s what I did. Now I have some in the refrigerator and put a container of it it in the freezer.
with a grill top, an overhead rack for pots , pans and utensils, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my bazillion cookbooks, a wood-burning oven to make bread and pizza, a Sub-Zero 
refrigerator, and a large prep island. (My fantasy extends to an outdoor deck area, where there would be a full barbeque grill and cook area for those summer get-togethers. 
Oh, wait, I have to run out and buy my lotto ticket before the store closes.)
They are not perfectly square or round, so they have to be handled a certain way.
Peace.
