Hot Cross Bun

Today’s blip was supposed to be the local St. Patrick’s Day parade, since I was pleased with last year’s results ([url=https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/4114110]https://www.polaroidblipfoto.com/entry/4114110[/url] and [url=https://www.facebook.com/lycerejo/media_set?set=a.10203315950488526.1073741832.1503307305&type=1&l=9a10753526]https://www.facebook.com/lycerejo/media_set?set=a.10203315950488526.1073741832.1503307305&type=1&l=9a10753526[/url]

However, the parade was postponed by a week because of the snow lined streets, so hot cross bun to the rescue…

Unlimited Dosas

LegoGuy discovered that Thursdays are unlimited dosa nights at a nearby South Indian restaurant, with 24 different varieties being offered.

One of those, the Sweet Coconut Dosa also qualified as dessert, and reminded me of the Pancake Tuesday pancakes Mum used to make stuffed with sweetened coconut, raisins and nuts…

The road behind… the road ahead…

I was saddened by rumors today that Blipfoto is in trouble… but I was thrilled to discover more of the community that made Blipfoto what it was. A couple of blippers who are technical, generous, and selfless came up with ways to back up blips, and made life simple for the rest of us…

Before starting my new year’s resolution in Jan 2014, I was concerned about the service shutting down, along with all my memories. But it had quite a few years under its belt, a strong and loyal community, so I dived right in… 

Epic Pi Day

LegoGuy quietly marks the epic Pi Day which we won’t see again in our lifetime. Once every 100 years, the date and time align (at least in the US) to depict 10 digits of Pi: 3.14.15 9:26:53

It also happens to be Einstein’s birth anniversary, and the next town, Princeton, has a big celebration each year ([url=http://www.pidayprinceton.com/)]http://www.pidayprinceton.com/)[/url] to commemorate the day… with it being rainy today, LegoGuy will be missing out on the festivities…

Grating coconut

Two generations ago, my nana used a 2-D serrated blade attached to a wooden platform to grate a coconut clean off the shell.

The kids had fun grating with the 3D grater today…

Breaking A Coconut

There’s something about using freshly grated coconut while cooking certain dishes… but breaking a coconut isn’t easy. 
So when we came across this “Coconut Breaker” abroad, we gave it a shot, and it works surprisingly well. And even after breaking a few coconuts, the plastic did not break (my first concern)…
The coconut water collects below and after a quick strain, great for drinking

Nogo

Now that LegoGuy’s done with his 365 continuous pics, it felt weird not posting for a day, and not having a pic without LegoGuy in it…
