[QUOTE=sbhikes;956198]I think the main difference with the coconut cream is they either use different coconuts or they use them at a different age. It has a slightly more fruity, desserty taste and kind of doesn't make curries taste right. No sugar, just more coconut fragrance or essence or whatever you want to call it.[/QUOTE]
And the Trader Joe brand....I blended it out of the can (It had separated pretty well), then put the left overs in the fridge. I was surprised to see the next day that I basically had whipped cream now! It is very good. I would eat it over berries if I had any berries. Still works in the coffee too.

Lamb shank!

[QUOTE=Miss Understood;956500]I went to the doctor today for the first time in 5 years. BP is 130/72. Isn't 130 fairly high for this type diet? I expected no more than 120. I had blood drawn today for blood work, so am looking forward to comparing new results to my previous, which showed rather high cholesterol and pretty bad triglycerides.[/QUOTE]
Oooh...I was just to the doc for the first time in 3 years! I had some blood work done too. My BP was higher than usual...I was pretty low at 100/60 but today was 117/68.

I do this exact thing! Blend one can of Trader Joe's coconut cream in the blender and store in a Tupperware in the fridge. A can lasts me a week. I use it in my coffee and yes, over berries. ;)

Reporting back with fat bread mini muffin results:
They still take 35 minutes to cook, and they taste like slightly nutty bread.
Also taste tested by bread loving Adventists who were pleasantly surprised.

Food porn of course. ;)
Forgot to add: It made 24 mini muffins with the cups very full and a little batter left over. Next time I will try filling them a little lower and see if I can stretch it to 36 and use all the batter.

I did the fat bread muffins in my 6-cup silicon muffin pan, and they were done in about 25 minutes (at 350F ? I think), and turned out really, really good.

stressing about having BP taken apparently makes it sky rocket as well.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, this. I get "white coat fever" something chronic when at the doctor's (I have no idea why - I guess I just rarely go to the doctor so it's a novel and slightly disconcerting experience). Last time I went I warned her of my little issue so she took my BP several times over the course of the consult - there was a significant difference (improvement) between reading no. 1 and reading no. 3!

There's been a huge taste and texture variance in the brands of coconut cream I've tried over the last few months. All are supposedly just pure coconut extract. Some are awful and don't blend nicely - they leave my smoothies a bit gritty/waxy. My favourite (currently not in stock anywhere I can find - arrggghh) has a lovely mild flavour and nice creamy texture. Almost makes me want to eat the stuff neat, which is unusual - I need to blend with a few berries or something else to counteract the flavour of coconut which is not my favourite thing, despite the benefits of the stuff. And of course, coconut + Thai flavours/curry = delish!
