Polly's Coconut Jello with Fruits Cocktails

This is one of the favorite desserts in Asia that is simple to make.  Normally I make the Chinese style 'Almond' Jello, but for our office's Cultural Day Vietnamese booth, I made coconut flavor jello.  I had to make a trial batch to find out the intensity of the coconut flavor.  And I am glad I tested two different cans of coconuts, etc.   Do you have a favorite coconut jello / pudding  recipe at your blog site?  Let me try it.

The first batch:

The 2nd batch:

Can't see the difference, but tastes of coconut is more intense in the second batch. 

Polly's Spicy Tempura Shrimps

This turned out to be a tasty crispy tender spicey tangy tempura shrimps.   Right size PANKO crumbs produced a wonderful crunchy shell.   And my concocted trick to keep the spicy tangy lime juice stick to the shrimps worked out great.

In order to keep the flavor locked in and PANKO to remain on the shrimp after dipping, this is what I did.
Prepare the flavored egg dip - Lime juice, spicy spices, dipping flour with lots of spicy spices, and PANKO.

 Dip the shrimp in flour, then in egg dip, then, in PANKO.

 

Then, redip it in egg dip, then, dip it in PANKO, again.  Fry.

 

Polly's Blackberry Pie

Morning breakfast doesn't need to be hum drum.   Here is fresh blackberry pie for ME!   

I would topped it with ice cream or whip cream... Let's keep it simple... Less cholestral... And I already had a bowl of oatmeal, so I don't feel guilty. 

Hmmm... That was good, I think I will have another one.

Yum! Time to go... Lucky office friends...
