Dear friends, Jeff and Rachel, sent us a Florida coconut in its dried brown husk. We saved it for a dinner party with our Floridian and Australian friends. It turned out that even with the folks with 'island skills' we were hosting, it took 4 people and ALL the tools shown in this photo to open the darned thing. (We threw a little hairy husk onto our shoulders for dramatic effect.)
About 40 minutes later, the water was slurped up and the meat extracted. Deeeelicious!
Avery and I have a weekly date at Arizmendi cafe for hot cocoa before gymnastics. We always take a book with us to read while we sip.
And then Avery burns off the sugar doing heroic tricks that take all his concentration and physical prowess.
