currently enjoying...



i'm one of those idiot friends that, on vacation, will order coconut juice at touristy restaurants and then will carry the coconut around with us as we walk the streets, ensuring us as targets for pick pockets. but it's just so refreshing, i can't resist. looking like an idiot means nothing next to a delicious coconut!

i always thought of coconuts as bad for you, but apparently it's now a darling of the health foodies. something about it containing lots of electrolytes, and its saturated fat content identified as zero trans fats. does that make it healthy? either way, it means i can now find coconut juice in cans at my hippie dippy market. how convenient.

driving home tonight, i had my face jammed so far into the can to shake all of the pieces of pulp down into my mouth that i could barely see where i was going. so maybe opt for the pulp-free version while driving if you're anything like me.

Coconut milk can be used a super delicious substitute for milk in lotsa foods (cupcakes, for example).

And coconut oil will make the most awesome popcorn you've ever tasted.

Mmmm...saturated goodness.
