Save and Share how to make Sago in Mango Sago. It’s actually called tapioca pearls and the process in cooking them has a few steps. First you simmer on low heat for ten minutes and occasionally stir to avoid clumping. Next turn off the heat and cover with a lid for 15 minutes to finish cooking. Lastly rinse and strain to remove excess gel. To make the Mango Sago you need champagne mangoes, coconut jelly, sago, evaporated milk, coconut milk and condensed milk. Mix it all together and refrigerate for at 3-4 hours, but over night is best. #mangosago #sago

I know immigration is complicated, but our shared humanity doesn’t have to be. What is happening with ice raids is inhumane and we need to be the voice of people who have no voice right now

Replying to @Mama Gookie '73 Here’s my second attempt of making dog food for Cooper. I boiled a whole chicken, shredded it, removed the skin and set aside the broth to boil everything else. I blended liver, chicken hearts and sardines and cooked it in coconut oil. Then poured in chicken broth, sweet potato, rice, broccoli and frozen spinach. This is still not a substitute for all his meals because he still eats kibble, but I like giving him some variety. #homemadedogfood
