MOrning Kae!!! I was in Canadaiqua yesterday too! Kinda grey but the sun

did come out in early afternoon. I went down to take some stuf to a show

that is going on today and tomroow. If you happen to be in the neighborhood

...... Its at All Things Art. I love Canadaiqua its soo charming. Also

hubby and I walked around and visited a couple of yummy eating places MMM,

and I drug him into a couple of needleworking shops since I am getting into

punchneedle as well. And we had a interesting conversation with the guy at

Coyotes' Den. My dd would LOVE that place. Oh and speaking of givine soap

away, I gave a soap away to a shop owner because she let us park in her

parking lot to unload my stuf. Even when we wernt shopping at her shop. Its

all a good thing. I think people definatly remember an unexpected gift out

of the blue like that so its not all about the money. I have given (and

recieived) full size soaps away a lot as gifts and also as just becuz. I

think whether to give or sell samples depends on the samples and the

situations.

I have an idea that I want to start doing in shows. Perosnally I think its

a really cool idea cuz like I said not everything is about the money.

Actually I have had this idea for a long time but I always forget to do it

when Im doing a show. One day I will tell you how it goes and what I did

but in the meantime my lips are sealed.

Shaye,

Canandaigua is indeed a unique entity! It is a very beautiful area, and

thank you for reminding me! I do tend to take it for granted! It is one of a

VERY few areas where the downtown is still ALIVE and thriving in spite of

nearby malls! (being in the Finger Lakes helps, I am sure) It also has a

number of affluent folks living there. That helps!

Well, now I am going to go nuts until you post your SECRET! Of course, now

that you have REMEMBERED it, we will hear from you SHORTLY, right???

Have fun and hope you do FABULOUSLY well!!!

Kae, A very interesting MSDS on Cholesterol. This does relate to pure

cholesterol used in laboratories. I think the minimal amount we might be in

contact with has no significance on our personal numbers.

How are you enjoying the cooler weather? I'm already disliking it.

Hello to everyone!

Hello to everyone! I just joined this group. I'm quite fascinated

with the recent interest in coconut oil.

[Guest guest]

welcome to the group I too am pretty new to the group.

I am very interested in knowing about the use of coconut milk. and i would

lovve to have more ways to use it ..

Could you please send me some of the recipes?

Thank you and I look forward tro hearing more about it.

Thank you all for your posts I have had many new ideas and information form

them.

Yes, coconut oil has been cursed for a long time. It made a lot of

coconut farmers desperate and demoralized. I'm not a coconut farmer

by profession but I did live with " real " coconut farmers because my

family owned coconut farms in the area close to where the virgin

coconut oil is now being harnessed.

At the height of the controversy banning the coconut oil in the 80's

(was still in college), I have always wondered how and why it was

declared unhealthy. Every single part of a coconut tree was very

useful to us.

Here are some of the ways we have used the coconut tree in general:

1. coconut water (not the milk): This is a staple drink among

Filipinos, kind of like the orange juice in here. Best when you get

them fresh, directly from the coconut, particularly from the " buko " .

We drink this to help clear the urinary tract. Researchers can help

confirm this.

two kinds of coconut:

buko ( young green coconut) has sweet, tender flesh ( you can scoop

it with a spoon), even the shell is softer.

niyog (mature coconut, you see them brown in color)hard shelled,

flesh needs to be scraped for use, the source of coconut oil.

2. coconut oil has always been the Filipinos'cooking oil. Even

before the advent of the vco, all families in the province where my

family was from had coconut oil in their cupboards. Yes, I do know

how to make it. But this is different from the vco which is not heat

treated. External use for cuts and wounds (big and small). Yes, Band-

aid was unknown to us. For some reason, your cut will not hurt when

you apply coconut oil. (Actually, I have it now on my finger because

of outgrown cuticle)

3. We always wanted to make our hair pitch black, we use coconut oil.

4. Coconut oil has always been used when massaging. Including a type

of reflexology used by Filipinos called " hilot " .

5. A kind of native wine commonly called tuba is extracted from the

coconut tree bud. This means that this tree will not bear fruit

anymore and will just be dedicated for wine making.

6. Fermented coconut wine gives us the vinegar. We consider this as

our best vinegar because its natural! Yes, farmers have to literally

climb each tree to get to the sap.

7. Recently, I have read that the coconut husks are being used for

water filter. (Well, we use them as floor polisher for our wooden

floors)

My dad had brain aneurysm. The doctor said it was congenital. He

could have had the attack when he was younger. The attack was so

fatal that he was not expected to live a day longer. He was comatose

for almost a month. The doctor said it was his heart that would not

give up.

These are all I can remember at this point.

I do know some recipes with coconut milk although I'm not sure if

they will be attractive to the American palate. If you're curious,

let me know.

Information about coconut oil in the Philippines may vary because

the islands (all 7,000 of them) have different customs and

traditions. The information I'm giving you is from my hands-on

experiences. The only thing I didn't do was climb the coconut tree.

[Guest guest]

Hi CW!

This is a simple recipe:

Mixed Vegetables in Coconut Milk

1 yellow squash sliced

1 zucchini sliced

1 green bell pepper sliced

green beans or string beans cut 2 inches long

tofu- the harder kind (cut 1 1/2 inches long)

(You may substitute chicken strips for tofu)

This is usually served with hot white rice.

Stir fry the vegetables in coconut oil. Then put tofu

in. Do not overcook. Pour coconut milk as desired.

Cook in medium heat.

Overcooking coconut milk will give you coconut oil.

(Oops! did I just say that? Maybe I'll say something

more about extracting coconut oil next time)Kidding

aside, yes, your dish will come out oily but creamy.

Some people like it that way but I just thought I

would mention it to you to let you know.

This recipe could also be found in some Vietnamese and

Thai restaurants.

Good luck!

Hi Jackie O!

It's really nice that I discovered this group just by

surfing the internet.

Mea culpa, mea culpa... I have only used one kind

that's available at the filipino store. label is

Quezon vco. We are experimenting with my Mom, who is

in the Philippines. At this point, I wont be able to

say anything.

My feeling is, the more natural the process, the

better. People have different standards of what they

want in a VCO or even between vco or heat extracted

coconut oil. We do not want to take heat extracted

coconut oil internally. The advent of vco is so great!

Believe it or not. There is more canned coconut milk

in the States than in the Philippines. Some of you

have probably noticed that canned coconut milk is

either from Thailand or Vietnam and not from the

Philippines, considering it's the second biggest

source of coconut, the biggest exporter of coconut

oil.

thanks for the opportunity to share!

[Guest guest]

Yup! you may stick to tropical traditions. I would,

too. I really cannot recommend anyone cause I think

all of them work unless it's not naturally processed.

There are a lot of small businesses in the Philippines

that cannot market themselves commercially because of

lack of financial support. Sometimes their product is

better (because we think their product is not

commercialized) but sometimes not :)It's just a

Filipino mentality that anything home made is always

better cause then it's not tainted with any artificial

ingredients.

if tropical traditions will stay with its " naturally

processed " vco, stick to it. I have been to their

website and so far, it seems like they're true to

traditions.

Hi to everyone!

Honestly, I think all coconut oils are potent. Why? It

has been used for a while. In fact, a lot of the

traditions have been practically handed down from one

generation to the other. It's been there a lot longer

before the advent of vco?

Why is vco so sensational even to the traditional

coconut oil users? Because vco has made it possible

for coconut oil to be taken just by itself internally.

non virgin coconut oils are more viscous than vco. And

shame on me even though its been the " windex " of our

family, I WON'T TAKE IT BY ITSELF! lol

How " windex " could it be? Well, my dad's special gift

before I left the Philippines 8 years ago was a jar of

coconut oil that was made on Good Friday, and nope,

not a vco. It's still here. Since it's a the " windex "

in the family, it was kind of " sacred " .

What happened to my coconut oil? Well, it's still

here! After 8 years. I thought I committed sacrilege

because I actually mixed it with water so I won't run

out of it. LOL

winter in the north east is kind of brutal at times.

Since I have been saving my coconut oil for real

emergencies, I resorted to branded lotions thinking it

would work better than pharmacy bought ones. Oh, well,

an 8 ounce bottle lasted for two weeks. Of course, it

didnt work. last resort, my coconut oil.

also, i got allergic to mouthwash so I had embarassing

rashes all around my lips. Used different kinds of lip

balms, last resort, coconut oil.

With vco? A lot of thanks to DR. Conrado Dayrit and

DR. BRUCE FIFE for helping us open our eyes.

Hi Jasmyn!

I apologize for the delay. I was out camping with my

class.

Hope you will be able to enjoy this.

This is a recipe enjoyed by my students.

Chicken Macaroni Soup

2 cloves of garlic (pressed then cut into smaller

pieces)

onion ( 1 small head: diced)

1 chicken breast (cooked, flaked)

mixed vegetables: carrots (cubed), celery stalks (cut

in squares), corn

coconut milk add as desired

salt to taste

add chicken seasoning as desired

2 cups elbow macaroni

Pour coconut oil.

Sautee: garlic first, when brown (try not to burn),

add onion.

add flaked chicken.

Add 3 to 4 quarts water. Bring to a rapid boil. Add

the macaroni. Stir for a couple of minutes to prevent

sticking. Add salt and/or chicken seasoning.

When pasta is al dente, add vegetables. Check carrots

and celery stalks. Should be 3 to 5 minutes only.

Turn off stove, leave the pot for a while to fully

cook pasta but not overcook it. Add coconut milk.

NOTE: This is a favorite recipe of my students.

However, they will die for rice instead of pasta. To

compromise, I mix pasta and rice together although

these two have different ways of cooking. Anyone

interested in rice alone or pasta and rice together

can just write me for more information.

Thanks for sharing. This sounds so yummy. The recipe is not far off from a

MAlaysian delicacy called " Lemak Chilli Api " but the Malaysian soup is real hot

because of the cayene used.

The Thais too have a similar soup..a variety of Tom Yam made with coconut milk.
