A BBQ for friends


The beginnings of a coconut rice pudding: cook long grain rice with orange peel & a cinnamon stick.  Then add to the cooked rice: 1 can cream of coconut, 1 can evaporated milk, 1/2 tsp almond extract.  Next time I'll try it with rum!  :)  Simmer slowly, watching it for scorching, about 20 minutes or until thick.  It can be eaten hot, room temp, or chilled.  I topped it with grilled mango and toasted coconut.


Speaking of toasting ~ in a dry pan toast garlic cloves, skin on, until black in spots.


Cool, peel, and chop.


To ground beef, add the chopped garlic, cilantro, scallion, 2 chopped chipotles, and the zest of a lime.  Form into burgers & grill until perfect!


Sweet corn, boiled in salt & sugar, then when cooked and hot toss in Old Bay.


Not a great photo, but everything tasted great!  You will have to trust me on this one.
