thanks IG -- I love shopping in JA and the prices really aren't more than I pay here in NYC--and I stick to many Jamaican items. Sometimes I buy things out of curiosity and figure out how to use them. Last time it was the powdered coconut milk instead of tinned--had never tried that before.

I always avoided coconut oil because I was afraid it would be heavy and have an intense flavor that I didn't want when sauteing veg, fish, etc. I am going to try it!
