Is very tasty, however it is incredibly rich. I love coconut and I love rich, creamy sauces, but this was just a tad too much for me! My DS and DH loved it though. I think when I make again I'll use a pinch of salt, and maybe increase the stock a bit or omit the creamed coconut. Over all yummy!

Fun and sweet. Made as directed with one exception; used 8 ounces of Tofu Shirataki spaghetti noodles in place of the vermicelli. Thanks, Baby Kato! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap 47, December 2010, Group 1.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend. Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed. A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
