Wow.  We had the great pleasure of eating another wonderful meal created by our son Jarrod, this time Thai influenced.  Wow.  I am still oooohhhhing and awwwwing.  Seriously.  It was so good, I do not know where to begin in describing these incredible flavors.  Think I might be crying when Jarrod goes home.
We started out with a Coconut Curry Thai dish.  Lord have mercy.  Here is a pic:
Then we had a most amazing Raw Chocolate/Banana/Coconut Pudding for dessert.  Here are some pics of the process for this recipe:
And here is some more:
Then came dessert:

So for a recap, here is Jarrod, (by the way, if you want to stay longer Jarrod, the kitchen is all yours!)
This was a delicious meal, I was really satisfied with how it all fit so nicely together, and it was really very simple to do.
This meal should be prepared in reverse order from the way is was eaten, meaning one should prepare the dessert first and then move onto the curry, as the coconut-chocolate pudding should be allowed to set in the fridge for a couple hours prior to being served.
So we'll start with that.
Here are the ingredients for the Raw Chocolate pudding. I obtained this recipe from the following website, as I am new to the whole raw cooking phenomenon.  http://www.raw-food-living.com/raw-desserts.html
Ingredients:

• 1 young coconut
• 1/2 cup almonds, soaked for 4 hours or more
• 2 bananas, ripe
• 2 Tbsp cacao powder
• 1/2 cup dates, pitted

So go check out that site for the official recipe, but the process is really simple, you soak the almonds in advance, you open the young coconut (available at most supermarkets or Asian food markets)  and then you scrape the coconut meat into a blender/food processor along with the coconut water, drained almonds and blend together with the rest of the ingredients. Then put it in the fridge prior to serving, top with some shredded coconut and any other garnish you wish to use for presentation purposes ( I chose fresh basil, yellow plums and chocolate chips). Et Voila! A very nutritious and delicious dessert which is easy to make and can be used as a sauce on waffles, pancakes etc..
So once I got done with the pudding  I started  the Tofu-Coconut Curry and the Seasoned Green Choy.
