Avocado Sevenfold

There appear to be a lot of ingredients, but it's worth it, and I bet you'll want to make it again anyway, especially with the thickener being desiccated coconut. I could almost convince myself it's a low-ish carb meal, if it wasn't for the rice or noodles. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/beefrendang_78767

Actually, @Avocado Sevenfold does a mean Thai (I know rendang is Indonesian, not Thai) faux rice dish that would work really well. Hopefully she might look in.


Enjoy!
This is the cauliflower rice recipe I use...

Getting old and everything that goes with it. All the repeats on TV. The drongos who ring me up to sell me things. Religious havens for pedophiles and war-mongers.
I used to eat a fresh pineapple over a couple of days. I don't like them too ripe either so maybe will give it a go.

To the best of my knowledge pineapple does not ripen after being picked.

I've had pineapple go from medium to super sweet on my kitchen countertop - the clue is when the leaves are easy to pull off...

I'm sure they do ripen when picked. They are often green in shops and then get progressively yellow/ brown at home. I think my teeth enamel is thanking me for not having any as well as my BS.

Does the ripening process increase fructose content like it does with bananas?

Don't know about the high latex level for unripened papaya, but Som Tam which I eat almost weekly if not more uses young unripened papaya, not cooked, and is the dogs wotsits!!!

There seems to be positives and negatives, as usual for most things in life!!

Modesty - I would be curious to know what percentage of your daily calories are consumed in your coffees? I'm always surprised by how little "food" you actually consume. I do appreciate your total calories may not be incredibly low.
