Money is SUPER tight for us this right now and we ran out of milk and couldn’t go get more. I found a box of coconut milk in the pantry and looked up recipes for coconut milk bread.

Turns out that there is a Samoan Coconut Bread called Pani Popo that fit the bill perfectly. A very easy dough to make that is forgiving and very tasty.

The slightly sweet bread is a great pairing for the pork shoulder that I cooked sous vide for 36 hours.

I used this recipe: https://youtu.be/Tkx4lNpX3N4?si=D8ysm_BgWRsvw7JF

    That person’s being a jerk, you don’t need to defend yourself.

    Your rolls look delicious. Very clever of you to use the coconut milk I don’t think it would have occurred to me. Hope your situation turns around soon, but in the meantime, it looks like you are doing an incredible job working with what you’ve got.

      I appreciate it! I’ve currently got an injury that started out one way and has slowly moved towards chronic pain with no real solution other than marginal pain management. Had to quit my job and am currently trying to find some kind of remote work I can do. Something will happen sooner or later I’m sure.

      I was less defending myself and just trying to be a friendly educator. I kind of dislike that word because it makes me sound superior but I’m definitely not. There is that XKCD comic about not making fun of people for not knowing things and instead showing them what it is. https://xkcd.com/1053/ . I have found this to be good advice.

      Maybe the person that I was responding to really didn’t know Sous Vide could be affordable and just needed an example. Same with the cost of the meat.

      I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
