Spring Spirit

Yesterday I was in the spring spirit. I said my favorite flavor of spring was coconut. I followed Lindsay’s advice for spring cleaning-to be more spontaneous. What better way to do this than to buy….

A coconut!
I was meandering around the store yesterday looking for ingredients for the awesome, AWESOME soup (I cannot wait to share..!) and I saw a coconut .. so I bought it!

Now what do I do with it?!

Any ideas??!

Drink the coconut milk! Is that possible?

Ooooo I saw a couple bloggers posting about coconut! coconut cookies?

Ick! I hate coconut! I must be the only person though because all I read about is coconut, coconut, coconut! 🙂 I wouldn’t even know where to start with it!

Hm. My question is how would you get into it. We used to break open coconuts with a machete in florida. You could just drink the water or break the whole coconut in half and scrap out the pulp. Maybe coconut soup? A thai inspired dish? Coconut/berry smoothie?

Ooh i like the smoothie idea! I too have a coconut and don’tknow what to do with it.

Whatever you do with the insides…..save the shell!

LOL. I’d be so impressed and yet, I think you’d probably actually come up with something brilliant to do with it.

Hi All.
Im like new (:
please could you all check out my page and comment on my blog?

I haven’t had a fresh coconut forever! I think I was a kid the last time I had one… My dad broke it open with a hammer. HA, ha.

i have no idea what to do with it! I’ve had fresh coconut milk before, but it’s always been from the green ones and I don’t know if theres a difference with flavor???
