Sigh.... what a way to start the new year with.... FALLING SICK!You must be wondering what's the connection of falling sick with the title above, well let me tell you what miss smarty-pants here did during the long weekend...
It all began when a friend who invited us to her house for our new year gathering wanted me to make coconut jelly. It's not that I'm complaining having to make it for her; I'm happy to anytime a friend wants something whipped up!
The previous few days I had been stuffing my face with loads of mandarin oranges given to my family from our neighbours and friends. Mandarin oranges are what we call a 'heaty' type of fruit. Plus the weather was being terribly unbearable, one could even fry an egg on a car's bonet without oil and it'll not stick!
Then comes the coconut, a 'cooling' type of fruit and when you put two and two together... the body is unable to comprehend which to do: heat or cool.... lo' and behold arrives the fever and flu! What to do... people like me are unable to resist the thought of a chilled to perfection tray of coconut jelly and a mountain of mandarin oranges.....
So next time folks, beware of the deadly mix of the above... muahahahahahha
