20241229: dried clams, shortbread cookies

• Clams: took a can of clams, added red pepper flakes and oregano. Oven at 180degF for 1.5hr. Sprinkled on top up baked potatoes. The clams added a texture & flavor that made the potatoes more appetizing.
• Coconut Flour Shortbread Cookies: used palm sugar instead of erythritol. I don't have a stand mixer, so I used my hands and a spatula. This made 15 cookies. I put apricot jam on top of some of the cookies.

20241222: jerky, coconut

• Jerky: 1lb pork sirloin, cut into small strips. ~3tbsp oyster sauce, .5tbsp lime juice, two pinches of salt, 1/8 of a round of palm sugar. In oven at 180degF.
• Removed coconut from a can of canned coconut meat. I was straining thai tea, and rubbed some of the tea + powder over the coconut. In oven at 180degF.
• Idea: try using the syrup (from the canned coconut) to make a candy. Reuse thai tea powder in it?
