I was out shopping with Erik and Kate and got it into my head I would try cooking *something* with coconut milk. At seventy cents and over two hundred percent my daily recommended intake of saturated fats per can, I couldn’t go wrong. So I bought two. Then today Erik mentioned he was going to throw out some strawberries. Can’t have waste so my mind started spinning and came up with a plan to make something of these two things.

Ingredients:
Coconut Milk – Half can (200 ml)
Strawberries – Four good sized ones
Mozzarella Cheese – Chunk
Nutmeg – Pinch
Salt – Pinch

Sauce:

1) Pour milk into pan and bring to boil
2) Dice cheese and toss in pan
3) Slice strawberries and toss in pan
4) Pinch nutmeg and salt into pan
5) Cook on medium heat until thick

I added the cheese mostly to make the sauce not so liquid and thicken it up a bit. I’m not sure what else I could have used as a thickening agent with coconut milk. I’ll have to look into it.

I put this on fettucini noodles and it looked… well… limp. Smelled very interesting, strawberries yet somehow more subtle and masked. The actual flavor was deeply progressive. By that I mean the flavor progressed through stages.

First bite was a very mellow strawberry flavor with very soft undertones. It stayed like that for a while until I noticed a gradient. The softness was actually a fatty taste not unlike licking a block of margarine. As time progressed the strawberry flavor seemed to fade away and the fat became stronger and stronger. I couldn’t finish it the sensation was so strong.

It was an experience and I feel more enlightened because of it. I’m not going to try it again.

We had a ghostbusters themed party at our place yesterday which went off fairly well. Lots was drunk and much green food coloring was used. We watched both ghostbusters movies, saw Ron Jeremy , and ate too much sugar. Annnyways, I made a cake!

While working through the haskell tutorial I came to a point where they’re teaching about modules. Basically how to load up and import libraries. Fairly standard stuff. The haskell way to do this makes sense and I have no issues with… but the chapter teaches it by getting me to build DES encryption.

Seriously. My brain hurts from the concepts and math of the encryption, not from the programming logic. Also of annoyance is the so called helpful library they have in the appendix which you can download from their website. For non standard definitions of can that is. I could be retarded, it has happened to me before. However, I could not find it, nor could Google .

I’ve gone and formatted it all pretty like and put it on the web:
