Chocolate for Vagabonds

  

I love CHOCOLATE... 

This is a raw chocolate recipe and it is healthy, creamy, chocolatey, easy and delicious.

So quick and a great way to have your coconut oil daily!

There has been a lot of research on cold pressed coconut oil and its health benefits.
You can find out about it online. I encourage you to have a tablespoon
of it every day for good general health .

 I saw a video of a man who took it for h is advanced Alzheimer's and after a couple of months he was considerably healthier and almost symptom free.

I also read that it helps you to slim, so, based on that and the sweet aroma, 

I do have it daily but it can get boring, so when Anita offered me this raw chocolate recipe and I jumped for joy and made a video showing how to make it step by step! 

Watch the video and see how incredibly simple it is to make it!!!

You will need:

the same quantities of good quality, extra virgin coconut oil and cocoa powder

Moo Krob หมูกรอบ {Crispy Belly of Pork}

My friend Gai took me to this place in Kad Luang {Warorot Market} in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to have a special dinner. It was a great evening and I feel in love with this dish, even more than I already loved it on the numerous times I had before.

The family is Chinese and the recipe has been handed down for generations.

I went back the week after to have some more. And then I did it again...

Until I went over there to film it and show you what the place looks like and also to get a chance to watch her cut the slices with such maestri.

{click here to watch the short video}

As I stood there waiting for her to cut my portion, these 2 slabs came out of the kitchen. 

I was as happy as I can be... I was there for about 10 minutes watching people come and go 

and I sampled it hot from the oven...

She was too busy to talk to me, as you can see on the video. 

I wanted to ask about what seasoning she uses and how many of these 

they sell every night, amongst other things. 

In the 10 minutes I stood near the chopping board, she sold the 2 bellies 

from the picture you see above. 

The restaurant is open {and incredibly busy} from 6pm to 4am everyday...

Can you calculate how many????
