Hey everyone.
Got to tell you that every time I'm in the produce section and am picking out
fruit and vegetables, I always have someone over to ask me some questions. Well
I was picking out coconuts today and there was this lady from INDIA and she
was fit to be tied that she couldn't find a good one. Well I picked out three
good ones and was walking away. Then she looked at me with that gleam in her
eye and said, "You know how to pick coconuts don't you?" So I smiled
and gave her one, as I only needed two anyway. She and I got to talking and
I was surprised at how little she knew about them but loved them. After I told
her how to make coconut milk she was jumping with glee. Well I never thought
of it until just now that maybe I should show each of you how to get into a
coconut and do it within 1 minute and have all the flesh ready to eat. Now wouldn't
that be a trick? Well it's a snap.
When you come to my place, I always have some fresh coconut milk in the fridge,
as quite a few people are aghast when I said I wouldn't think of drinking that
nasty cow's milk. If you heard my Tele-seminar on the 3 foods to avoid a few
weeks ago, you would never drink milk again. I must have had a dozen calls since
and EVERYONE all said the same thing that they would never drink the junk again.
You can order that session for $20.00 and we pay the shipping. Call me 800-325-DIET
(3438)!
But anyway, I always have some fresh coconut milk in the fridge as you can
do so many things with it and get twice the benefit from it than you could ever
get from cow's milk without a single negative side effect.
Here's how.
Get an ice pick and one of the eyes always opens easily and you'll have to
hit the pick slightly with a hammer to get the other eye open so the coconut
water will empty freely in a glass.
Then put the coconut in those plastic grocery bags
.in one rolled up,
then another one rolled up and then one more rolled up. This way you'll have
the coconut in 3 of those bags. Go outside and take your frustrations out on
it by throwing it on the driveway several times until it's in pieces and then
come back in the kitchen and open the bag to several pieces of fresh coconut
all broken off the shell. Less than a minute I'll guarantee you.
Now what I do is just drop the coconut pieces in some water to let the little
pieces of coconut fall off in the water! Then I put all the clean pieces in
my Vita Mix with the coconut water and 1 quart of water and let blend for about
1-2 minutes on a high speed and presto, "COCONUT MILK"! Now this may
not seem like a big deal, but let me tell you that the recipes I'll be sharing
with you in the coming weeks need this coconut milk and you'll not believe how
great it is with the way I do broccoli. Get ready for some outrageously good
recipes to come.
Here's my C/D of the Week. I saw an old Basia "Time and Tide" C/D
in the library (or course) and I had forgotten how great it was. Not much wonder
she rose to the top in such a short time. ENJOY and be good to yourself. How
old do we get before we get to? I know you are probably saying, "What did
he mean by that?"
