Coconut milk for plantain porridge
Plantain porridge (added water so we can purée it)

I feel like this has been mentioned in here before but I’ve never heard this otherwise and couldn’t find anything with a quick Google search.

Somebody drop a gem on me.
I said it a few pages back. I couldn’t find anything online to support the claim. My mom and aunts always say it. Damn Jamaicans! Lol
 
Where is matters7 matters7

All this cookie talk and my man is nowhere to be found

I hate cookies! Closest thing i like too a cookie is a Chocolate Biscuit Preferably with Caramel in it.
Anyway,
I'm no longer that sugar junkie anymore, that phase has passed.
That's why I'm no where too be found

Full directions?

Coconut milk:
1. Crack open a coconut
2. Blend the coconut with water in a blender (if you have a juicer, I would just juice it and skip the added water)

Green Plantain:
1. Peel green plantains
2. Blend plantains with water




1. Add some water to your pot and boil it (not a lot) this is suppose to help with the porridge not clumping up.

2. Once the little bit of water is boiling add your plantain purée and stir. It’s going to thicken up, it’s a work out. Keep stirring

3. Add the coconut milk and continue to stir.

4. Once it’s cooked I sweeten it with sugar in the raw.

You can add spices like cinnamon, clove, and etc but I skipped it this time.

So as we all suspected, you don't even bother eating real food?
 
Its obvious from my posts I like pepper on my food but it does have side effects for some which include stomach issues/gastrointestinal disorders, skin disorders/skin dryness, & can even lead to difficult pregnancies. In rare rare cases accidentally inhaling plain old black or white pepper can cause death.

Also, the old wive's tale about black pepper staying in your body is true...
No, it's not true. First of all, black pepper is a complex food composed of many different substances. No complex food that we eat stays inside our body whole and intact. Complex foods don't even get absorbed into our body as whole, intact foods. Instead, they are broken down into much smaller parts in our digestive tract before they ever get absorbed.

Therefore, at the very most, it would only be some isolated component of black pepper (not black pepper itself) that was absorbed into our body (via our bloodstream) and then stayed either in storage or in transit for a long period of time. However, this also is not the case. For example, one of the substances that can act as a type of irritant in black pepper (and provoke a sneeze, for example) is a well-studied alkaloid called piperine. In animal studies, researchers have found that it takes between 6—24 hours for over 90% of this substance to be cleared from the body. Other important substances found in black pepper, like the polysaccharides that have been shown to have potential immune-supportive properties, would also be readily metabolized.

For a food component to stay inside our body for any extended period of time, it would have to be stored inside some body tissue that kept it fairly strongly attached. Minerals found in food can sometimes be stored in this way when they become part of the bone matrix. It's possible for the bone matrix to hold on to some of its mineral content throughout the course of a lifetime. However, the whole, intact foods that we eat only serve as the initial carriers of these minerals from the outside world into our body. The foods themselves do not stay inside us undigested.

Funny people asking for proof... Do your own damn googles... :smh:

When I was younger my mom said left over rice in your bowl will turn into pimples on your face.

No hard evidence tho
You want a pat on the head too ?

I did one google search last night and found the same article. Mans in here beating their chest to sound knowledgeable over a statement to get edaps and reps from strangers in a food thread. I though DC was different, but apparently he just one in the same.
 
Look, coming from a pepper fan, too much of anything is bad. If you don’t know this by now...

:lol: Every time I think of too much pepper, I think of his Threes Cokpany scene when Tripper accidentally spills a crap load of pepper in fish... on the real though, I like a lil spaghetti with my black pepper & Parmesan cheese... >D

If asking someone to provide, Evidence/ Reasoning to a claim out of left field makes me the same, sure I am the same as the rest.

Again, the 13 year olds I see on a daily basis know if they make a claim they need more evidence than what their aunt said
