Last night’s dinner

We had leftover chicken and pork as well as, lots of extra fresh vegetables so tonight we had thai noodles with cashews on the top. So good and great as leftovers.

Tonight’s dinner

My father-in-law was telling us a story about a coconut custard that he had during the war when he was stationed in Burma. I can’t get the idea out of my head and I’m hoping that this will be the recipe that fits his memory.

We are lucky enough to have in back at a our house tonight as he is arriving home from England.
