I love these. I have a serious case of asthma and am supposed to avoid dairy. Bugger that. There is living and there is surviving. You have to reach your own balance. Just look at all of the cheese dishes I’ve posted; and do make and eat. Read more Hay goodspoden, when you quit living and start surviving it’s time for a reality check. My paternal grandfather made 92 & my father made 91, if I make 75 a lot of people, who bet against it (including me) will lose money. It’s all how you burn the candle. Both ends is better. There are a zillion smoothies but I have favourites. Please note that I do not measure very carefully here. You will have to eyeball and adjust. I can’t get Hagen daze ice cream here but I would if I could. Best you can get. Bugger hardening of the arteries. These recipes are based on living in the tropics. You may have a problem with “2 Tbs of coconut cream” I don’t. I send one of the village lads up a tree and have a cup of real Peepee 20 minutes later and use the leftovers for breakfast, or add it to the dog’s food. The fruit is just in the garden somewhere, 24/7/365. Last point, as if you didn’t know, the booze is always optional; even for me. I generally consider this desert, but it is sometimes lunch.

- • 4 to 5 scoops of top quality vanilla ice cream. shopping list
- • 2 to 4 Tbs fresh, rich coconut cream (Peepee), optional. shopping list
- • 2 jiggers of over proof rum. I use Bounty 105 proof but that’s from Fiji and you may not be able to get it. The appropriate amount of “rum Essence” may work “. Bundaberg rum from Aussie is great. Been there and shot a game of pool with the owner. Man is serious about rum. That was two days after Goobers in Mundubbera. shopping list
