Thanks Preston. Not sure I will add that quantity of sugar, like you mentioned coconuts are naturally sweet.

You're welcome Mami.

I prefer to dunk mine in ketchup or mayonnaise.

cococandy:
thanks .
I choose the theme to go with white sand beaches.

Nice and brilliant idea.

cococandy:
At that time I did. But Now, not so much. Glad I didn’t choose it.

Cococandy has grown on me. And I still pretty much like coconut candy even though it’s been a while since I last ate it.

When I have my two daughters, gonna name one Village the other Kitchen.

cococandy:
Well someone already took coconutcandy or you guys would have been calling me coconutcandy now

I even considered “strawberrysmoothie”

I guess you also love Strawberrys smoothie

Mariangeles:
I've made this about twice or more, but I never had the guts to use as much sugar as needed.
Yours look amazing.

Thanks Dear.

For me, I don't take sugar... here is another method I always use.

INGREDIENTS
Coconut oil
Honey or maple syrup

1...On a medium heat, place your pan and add your coconut oil

2... Add your grated coconut. and stir for few minutes, add your honey or Maple syrup and mix thoroughly

3...Transfer the hot coconut candy into a wide tray to cool.

NOTE: It won't be crunchy like the sugar method.

cococandy:
One time I made coconut candy and I really loved it.

I sat in one place and ate a whole bowlful of it, came back to Nairaland and changed my moniker from L to Cococandy.

True story.

Cococandy is better compare to Coconut candy

cococandy:
Thank you. I actually do all that. Except the warm water rinse. Next time I clean the tank, I’ll try it.

Something tells me my type of fish are fragile. I haven’t tried any kind except the angel fish and the pleco to eat all the algae . I usually buy feed from PetSmart.

Yours are so pretty and colorful. I love it.
I used to have the colorful angel fish and they all died. Now I only have the black and white and striped ones.
5 of them but they are so tiny. I’m giving them room to grow that’s why I didn’t buy the big ones.

I feel like if I put another kind of fish in there, they might kill each other .

Thanks Mami

Wow... I love your tank and decor, looks natural.

Your type are fragile and also need alot of maintenance and attention.... for real there are some kind of fish you can't add to yours, because you will get tired separating fight

I think you should visit any aquarium shop close to you, and sick advice

Hi Preston, please tell me how you made that coconut candy on your page. Looks very yum

VILLAGE KITCHEN

COCONUT CANDY RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
1 full coconut

2/3 Cup of Granulated sugar or light brown sugar..

Grater


INSTRUCTION
1... Crack the coconut, collect the juice and separate the coconut flesh from the shell.

2.Grate the flesh of the coconut to get long pieces of coconut.

3....Pour the sugar into a dry pan and spread it out. Heat up on medium heat.

4....As the sugar starts to caramelize , at this stage the sugar gonna look like honey and have this golden brown colour. Turn down the heat to low and pour in the grated coconut; mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

5...Transfer the hot coconut candy into a wide tray to cool. You can mould into ball or square shapes and store or serve as desired.


Please try not to add so much sugar, as coconuts are usually naturally sweet. And coconut candy could be addictive ..... Buenos días

cococandy:
I didn’t realize we are fish tank buddies.
Mine’s about the same size as yours.

Question: you use homemade food or store bought? I currently only have 5 angel fish in mine. Everything keeps dying. Even my rugged pleco fish that keeps it clean and algae-free just died.

Sometimes even a water changed at perfect temperature and ph causes all of them to die . Love them but it’s kind of tiring. How are you maintaining yours?

Happy to know you love fish tank and also have one....it hurt seeing fish die. Very sorry.

I guess there is something you're not doing right.


I always get my food from the shop-Golden Fish Flakes or Pellets

I do rinse my tank with warm water. NEVER use soaps or detergents of any kind; they’re very harmful for your fish.

For general cleaning, I remove my fish with a net and place them in a large bucket with some of the original tank water not fresh water...

Not all tap water go well with fish, Untreated tap water or drinking water has chemicals and minerals that could harm the fish.

I always avoid overfeeding my fish. Overfeeding can make them die also.....I also make sure my filters are clean.

Don't get tired, continue trying.

Hello Foodies/Chefs!!

With Joy in my heart, I wish to announce to you guys that I am now a Pastry Chef. I graduated on Thursday.
Culinary School was hard for me but local boy scaled through. There were times i requested for deferment but peeps kept encouraging me and boosting my weakened morale.

Thanks all for your kind words. Next stop is Cuisine chef course...I don't know when but it will happen by God's grace.. Amen!

The fruit tart was my exam work.
Crust (dough) was made with Pâté sableé dough, filling was a combination of Lemon curd and strawberry compost. Topping Swiss meringue mixed with pastry cream. strawberry and banana slices.

Nice one my Brother..... I love your spirit, no time to waste...Boss chef

Once again congratulations mi hermano.
