i use it as a substitute for cream in some savoury and sweet dishes...such as making fritters especially seafood ones, i use it in rice or sago for a hint of coconut...yummy

Great isn't it? Cholesterol is the precursor to a hormone called pregnenolone, which has important functions itself, but is also the precursor to all other steroid hormones. Pregnenolone is converted to progesterone, a sex hormone, which in turn is converted into cortisol, which regulates inflammation and blood sugar, aldosterone, which regulates mineral balance and blood pressure, or testosterone, a type of sex hormone referred to as an androgen, which regulates libido, muscle mass, and plays other roles. In females, and to a lesser degree in males, testosterone is further modified, undergoing conversion to estradiol, a different type of sex hormone called an estrogen....
as ever uli you are a veritable fountain of information!

I always use half water, half coconut milk if I am cooking rice for Thai recipes

An easy way to freeze it is to put it in icecube trays - then if you only need a bit, you can just pop out a couple of cubes and add to your dish.Really handy!I do this with leftover tomato puree/paste too, as I only cook for one and rarely use a whole can.
