Liberian coconut bread
This bread needs coconut water. Although I can find canned ones, I want to use a fresh coconut for this. Today at Safeway I walked by Zico coconut water. In the last month, I have offered some coconuts to God and each was an experience.
Once I broke the coconut and forgot to save the coconut water.
Another was so tender that I ate it even before it could get home.
One turned rot and thats believed to be a good thing.

Dal Pancakes. I happened to have Patoli for lunch today which requires yellow split peas to be soaked. I should have soaked them longer for the dish to be more palatable. Yesterday a colleague of mine passionately recalled  dal puri being made in Caribbean by a lady who grew spices in her backyard. I havent heard of dal puri, but the recipe is similar to polelu or bobatlu or bakshalu (which traditionally use yellow split peas. I wonder how the one with moong dal stuffing tastes. ), a sweeter version of it.

Mai Fun. with my Singapore friend's recommendation I tried Mee goreng when I was there.
Any traveler who goes to singapore and doesn't have a bowl of Laksa might as well call the trip a waste of time. - Andrew Zimmerman, The Bizarre Truth.
