GFCF soup, and birthday pie

[gerimaple]

as most of you know, darthfrog (heavily abetted by bomand and wolfmand) has become A Major Foodie over the last year or two. I'm mostly delighted by this turn of events, except when he gets on his "I'm going to teach you to like spicy food" kicks. I'm not a foodie at all - quite frankly, while I wouldn't log cooking with, say, dental surgery, it's definitely my least

i was thinking of you :) however, i noted as i was flattening the cans for recycling that the coconut milk has ... somethingorother bisulphide in it as a preservative :( No idea if there is such a thing as preservative-free canned coconut milk - cynderella328 will probably know, or know who does, or where to find out. She has plenty of that kind of Clever :) (and other kinds too, of course, but that's the one that's most relevant at the moment :) )

It used to be hard to find coconut milk without preservatives. There was like one brand. And nothing organic. But now there are tons. Natural Value, Trader Joe's, Native Forest (think that's right) and a bunch more. Lots of organic ones too.

I'm allergic to most preservatives so don't touch them (ironically, sulfites are the one I do tolerate).

*grins back* I knew you'd know. I'll have to check for those brands next time I'm at a HFS instead of a regular grocery store.

Hi Boo, I hope you enjoy this soup. I've made a few notes above, in my reply to Wolf; they may be relevant to you.

I used coconut milk in this recipe as Geri said she yearned for cream of mushroom soup. If you're not allergic to dairy, use cream instead. Or simply make your own coconut milk; all it is is shredded coconut meat extracted in water. It most definitely is not the liquid in the centre of a ripe coconut; that is coconut juice.
