Chewy Peanut Butter & Honey Cookies

Peanut butter cookies with a twist.  The childhood treat of a peanut butter and honey sandwich is translated into these tasty treats.  Grinding the wheat gives a hearty, yet pleasing, whole grain flavour.  Using coconut oil, instead of butter makes this treat enjoyable for those with dairy allergy/intolerance.

They're a delight without embellishment, but the addition of peanut halves and fleur de sel just before baking creates a complex, salty-sweet taste sensation.

Thai Green Curry (winter)

That curry is unbelievably good.  It can range from mildly warming to a searing sweat-inducing  spice.  Served with brown jasmine rice and cashews.

For a hot moderately hot curry, start with 2 tablespoons of curry paste, a teaspoon of crushed peanuts or crunchy peanut butter and a teaspoon of salt.  Add these ingredients to a can of coconut milk and simmer.

The oil will start to separate out of the coconut milk when it's ready.

Add sliced or julienned vegetables, bamboo strips and Thai basil.Unfortunately, in the winter, basil doesn't grow.  This dish is prepared with carrots, onions, peppers, napa cabbage and fennel.

In the summer, I'll post a proper green curry.
