COCONUT DAY

We really had nothing better to do the last time went balik kampung, my sis-in-law brought a wheelbarrow of young coconuts. My lover, being good with his hands, ehem, ehem decide to crack open all the coconuts so that all of us lazy bum-good-for-nothing, thirsty people could enjoy the sweet juice of the young fresh coconut juice while we sit back and not dirty any of our manicured fingers.


Some of the coconuts on the ground. See the thick shell, even thicker than our kraniums. If my lover can knock the senses out of my head, coconuts is easy peasy for him.


See, this is where you start to get the juice. Chop off that part of the coconut. The bottom part. Those are not my hands.


Ahhh the sacred juice. Tropical country's juicy secret to black hair.


We were lucky we have guinea pigs to be the taster. So you OK Batrisyia. Not giddy? Pass QC test.


Besides the juice, the other refreshing thing about the coconut is the flesh of the cocnut. Creamy creamy tasty thing. If you don't have a spoon with you, peel a bit of the top bottom of the coconut to make a spoon. Go natural. Wear your birthday suit. The right picture is a demonstration on how to rake the coconut's flesh.


If you have too many coconuts to handle in one go, why not make a bag of it. Refer to the top left picture.Peel off a bit of the thick coconut's skin. Use a strong knife. For kids make sure the adults do it for you. Top right picture. Then pull off the skin slowly but firmly.. Repeat the same thing on another cocnut. And tie the peeled skin together. And walah you are already on the go. Lollies spring collection handbags. You can even eat it, drink from it and knock those nasty muggers with it.


Of course if you make a mess, clean up after you. Boys go throw these away or no coconut juice for you. Batrisyia, let the boys do it darling. Don't dirty your pretty fingers.


Then drink away. Don't bother lookig for me. I am not in the picture. I am tired of the commotion taking pictures and all. The one in the white headscarve is my mother in law.
