It has cooled off here and I've made a few soups, but it's gonna heat up again by this weekend... I have plans to make a Creamy Steak Soup on Friday.. if it turns out I'll post that recipe also (it's a crock pot one)...

I need some ideas here. It's been a while since I have had dinner at Ohana's. I do know that I love the chicken wings though.

TBY2225 was kind enough to share her recipe for the Ohana chicken wing sauce with me. So some friends of mine decided that we are going to get together and do a tropical themed dinner tomorrow night. I'm going to do the chicken wings and some rice. I also bought some red & green peppers, pineapple chunks, onions, & cherry tomatoes. I figure we can skewer some chicken as well with those ingredients. I also have the ingredients to make lapu lapus. What else do you think? I think we need some sweet rolls or something, but I was trying to remember what all Ohana's serves with their meal.:papple::lei::papple:

I have a recipe I want to try that requires 3 1/2 cups of shelled green peas?? I don't think I can buy peas shelled or unshelled right now at the store. Any ideas? Will I have to use frozen peas and just stir them in at the end? In the recipe you cook the peas with the rice and stock for like 35 mins...

You can subistute frozen but I wouldn't cook them for that long (perhaps 15 minutes or so)

Hi!'

I'm trying a new recipe I got right here on Intercot! I opened a can of coconut milk and it was curdled looking, not smooth like regular milk. Is it bad? I've never used it before! Help!

[floridamom]

We use it quite a bit, especially in Thai recipes. I've never thought of it as "curdled"-- I think it just separates in the can--try shaking or mixing it up. :mickey:

[merlinmagic4]

Thanks! I was actually reading how it isn't milk (duh!). I cooked the meal with it (curried chicken) and we just ate it. It was really good! Thanks for answering my post; it eased my mind :)

[offwego]

Just to add a little extra comfort. This is totally normal!

[merlinmagic4]

Well, I figured since no one was up all night :sick: that it was okay! Thanks :) I'm a cooking novice, can you tell?:confused:

[murphy1]

Ooh, I love using coconut milk in recipes too. I use it in a shrimp dish too, as well as Thai like chicken satay. I use the Peanut Satay mix near the Oriental food section. It's great that you're trying new things, that's how you learn!

I just got the greatest email. it's filled with cookie names and when you click on the name the recipe pops up. Anyone want a copy just msg me. I don't know if it would work on here or if it would take a lot of draw w/ so many links....
I'm thinking of cookies now :D
