Unacceptable! But I sit in solidarity: I'm on a migraine diet that forbids chocolate. I am eating a lot of fruit instead.

Solidarity forever, as they say.

I'm going for nuts now (they're very filling) but may have to break out the coconut sticky rice soon.

Mmm coconut sticky rice. Do you have a recipe?

Not one I'm happy with. ;(

I think it's all down to the just-right rice. Some recipes advise cooking the rice in 50-50 coconut milk/water. Others advise rice w 100% water, and then heat coconut milk to pour in later. Tried both with indistinguishable results. Sticky rice is four times as thirsty as arborio rice, so I've not reached the limit of its spongeneity.
