I burst out laughing when I first saw coconut water trapped in a can like Coke. We, Indians, drink coconut water fresh directly from the just chopped coconut. In fact, it will be more refreshing to drink tender coconut water without the help of a straw.

See, this blue can that serves coconut water that is said to be 100% natural coconut water with five essential electrolytes. I refused to drink it even though it says it contains more potassium than a banana.

I am just not used to drink anything from a metal can.

Still, this blue can is attractive enough to buy-right?

Due to demands and requests, I am adding “recipes” in the category. The first recipe is about roasted banana ice cream.

Roasted ice cream-is it a sort of oxymoron? How can you call something ice when it is roasted?

When I just glanced at the recipe, I saw the mention of a preheated oven. So, there is really some heat involved in making this ice cream!

Read the recipe here.

Of course you buy, but do you prefer sea food over red meat?

 Do you like this violet cabbage? I don’t like it. I tried it a couple of times but I could not eat it. It has an odd flavor.

But I heard that these red (?) cabbage goes well with apples, onions, nuts, and red wine, and it makes an excellent bed for pork, duck, and salmon.  Tips are given by several recipe masters and they all conform on one aspect-choose firm, shiny heads that are as dark as possible.

Don’t overcook red cabbage or you’ll sacrifice flavor and vitamins.  Ah, Iguess here lies my mistake. I overcook it like raddish. My husband used to tell me to cok the cabbage only 50 percent. He likes it that way-slight crunchy instead of too soft to bite.

Well, different tastes and different people!
