Hello and welcome to my weekly roundup of posts, you may have missed during the week…I hope those of you who are experiencing snow stay warm and if you have to drive heed the weather warnings and stay safe…the heat has turned up a few notches here which means walks have to be done early before the heat rises and later when the sun has gone down…

Maprao is coconut. Pao is a young coconut roasted in a fire; later, the burned dark part is removed to keep the centre. So it is quite small. You drink the juice; it is the BEST coconut juice ever. I keep seeing these little coconuts at the market and asked my daughter-in-law what they were…now I know this video shows how they are roasted…

I hope you enjoyed the video of this traditional method of roasting young coconuts.

Now I best get on with last week’s posts starting with Monday Musings…

Smorgasbord Health…The Liver.

I have always had a smattering of knowledge as to what was where in my body and the functions of any said organ however as I have got older and have more time on my hands-smile-I have found a new urgency to know more and if possible give me and my family the best chance of staying disease free with good mobility always a plus at my age-big grin-plus there is so much we can do to help ourselves…

I am an advocate for eating good food, in season and for keeping our bodies as chemical-free as we can all things you and I can control…after all it’s our hands who hold the fork …

This is why I find Smorgasbord Magazine a great starting point…I trust my friend Sally as she has the knowledge and experience in nutrition.
