In this week's bountiful basketI got two coconuts. Very strange since I have been on a coconut kick for awhile now. I LOVE coconut...but have NEVER tried to cook/eat/peel whatever a "real" coconut. I just always buy the shredded stuff in a bag :) So...the above picture is after I hammered a couple of holes into in to get the water out and then baked it for 20 minutes to make it easier to open.
This is after I took all of the husk off of the meat. It was BRUTAL to my thumb...just shredded it!
This is the remnants of the husk...and if you look closely you can actually see blood :( Don't worry...there was no blood on the actual coconut that we ate.
This is Nate taste testing the frosting for the cake that I made. He liked it :)
And this is the culmination of 4 hours worth of work with peeling and shredding the coconut and the actual baking of the cake. It is a pretty good cake, but I am not sure it is 4 hours of labor good :)
Interesting...I wouldn't know what to do with a coconut! Glad I didn't get that bountiful basket :)
