I can't get over how good this was.
Cooked rice, a couple of cups, white, long grain
to this add a pureed mix of
1/2 cup lite coconut milk (may take more)
a clove of garlic
good handful of cilantro
squeeze of half a lime
fresh ginger
You can also toss in, though not pureed, some toasted unsweetened coconut.
top with green onions, quick stir fried with more garlic and ginger, other veg also stir fried, shrimp, chicken, tofu, ditto.
I did firm tofu dusted with Wondra flour, fried in very hot olive oil/butter, and I hate tofu. Really.
but crispied up dipped in leftover cilantro puree and I finished it off standing at the stove. (Molly helped some.)
I froze the leftover coconut milk in an ice cube tray. Martha would be proud.
In the old days, when Zooey was just a kitten, Molly had the advantage of weight and strength. Now, however, since Zooey has five very sharp ends and is fast and agile, she has Molly pinned in no time flat. It's kind of like Mexican wrestling but without the costumes and slightly hairier.
The high bush cranberry, still holding on to its berries. As long as we feed the birds they don't have to resort to them, but they're there as a backup in case we let them down.. .I have seen the turkeys go for these even when there is other food around, but maybe turkeys have a natural affinity for cranberries.
