Apigige', pronounced a-pi-gee-gee, is a cassava and manha (mun-ha)/coconut mixture, wrapped in banana leaves then cooked on the grill. Some folks use niyok (knee-dzuk) or mature coconut, though I do not remember apigige' tasting or having the texture of grated niyok. I prefer manha or young coconut.
Cooking/preparation Instructions
1. Clean the banana leaves with a sponge and water. 2. Wipe leaves with kitchen towel and set atop baking racks to dry. 3. Drain månha juice, saving 1 cup and set aside. 4. Finely slice or sliver the månha. 5. In a medium bowl, combine the månha, 1 c. månha juice, grated cassava, and sugar to form a thick batter. Depending on the brand of cassava you use, it may be quite watery. If this is the case, pour your batter into a fine-mesh collander and drain out some of the liquid. Preheat griddle or grill to medium heat. 6. Apply 2 tablespoons of mixture at the bottom edge of banana leaf, centered, about 2 inches up from the bottom. Use 3 tbsp. for thick and big apigige'. 7. Spread mix into a 4 inch x 1.5 inch rectangle, or 5 inches long if using 3 tbsp. 8. Fold and roll like a flattened burrito. 9. Cook folded-side down until apigige' has puffed up and bottom of banana leaves are charred, about 8 minutes. 10.You will see that the apigige' has thickened. Flip to the other side for another 8 to 10 minutes, charring as well.

Life Plan Steps suggested at http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Life-Plan
.A life plan is a detailed description of your decisions, intentions, hopes and dreams for your future.
Steps
1
Understand your needs.
- List your mental, emotional and spiritual needs. Being surrounded by loving and caring people may be one emotional need. Wanting independence and freedom from the control of others may be another need. Feeling connected to a spiritual or religious organization may be yet another need.
- Pinpoint your physical and material needs. Being healthy and fit is one example. Living in an environment that is free of pollution may be another need. Living debt-free or accumulating wealth may be material needs.
2
Identify your strengths and talents. If you are a student, think about the subjects in which you excel. Your strengths may be in analysis, language composition, computation, information retention or problem solving. If you are already in a career, think about the tasks that you do well, such as solving interpersonal issues, leading others, building things or answering people's questions.
3
Consider your hopes and dreams. These are aspects of life that give you joy. Falling in love, having children, having a pet, contributing to a worthy cause and devising a solution to society's difficult problems are some examples.
4
Decide on a format before writing your life plan. If completing an assignment for a teacher or a life coach, follow the requested format. Your life plan may be written in a narrative or outline form.
5
Use your list of needs, strengths and hopes to outline concrete goals. For example, the need to be fit and healthy might lead to a career in fitness or simply a commitment to exercise several times per week. Your talent with numbers and analysis may drive you to pursue a career as a financial analyst. Use the list you created to set practical life goals.
6
Review your life goals to make sure they address all aspects of your life. A thorough life plan addresses education, career, play, hobbies, relationships, children, spiritual pursuits and even end-of-life preferences. Decisions about how your dependents will survive financially after you are gone and how your funeral should be handled are important considerations when writing a life plan.
7- Examine the details of your life plan. Review each category to ensure that you have addressed it thoroughly. For example, if you plan to become a doctor, write down the names of the school(s) you plan to attend, your desired specialty, where you'd like to do your medical residency, and whether you'd like to work at a hospital, a private practice or for the government. The details can always be adjusted as your life progresses, but thinking through them ahead of time will help to crystallize a plan of action.
