I wish I could state that I scampered up an elegant and tall tree for my milk.
PALM TREES WITH COCONUTS
But I didn’t. I left the task to those expert pickers and climbers.
Extracting the beautiful white flesh from the husk brought me back to my childhood days. There was always an agile youngster in the neighborhood who could make his way up those tall trees and retrieve those coconuts. Oh, he could move in a flash.
However, I didn’t have to place myself in such risky position. Thanks to my neighborhood store, I was able to fetch a beautiful specimen. I brought it home and used my hammer to smash the sturdy husk open. There was the gush of water that I collected and drank. It wasn’t sweet (I’ve had sweeter). I then used my knife to remove the white flesh. Bingo! I was happy.
FLESH OF COCONUT
I did a quick chop of these pieces so as make it easier on the blender while extracting milk.
SMALL SIZES OF COCONUT FLESH FOR BLENDER
Coconut pieces were added to blender along with water. These were blended to white finish. A strainer was used to separate the milk from the pulp (residual). I will use this extracted milk to incorporate in my dishes like:
I'm originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica. In Jamaica, we always find a reason to celebrate. And, when there's a celebration, there is music, fun and of course, food, great food.
Presently, I reside in So. Florida.Living here in Florida offers varied cultures, people of different ethnic backgrounds.
I've a great passion for the culinary side of life. Therefore, being in So. Fl., provides me the great accessibility of fresh seafood, fruits and vegetables. Moreover, I've the choice to indulge in a amazing foods from different cuisines.This ability provides great inspiration for me to retreat to my humble kitchenette and replicate these dishes.It warms my heart to be able to break bread with loved ones.
I'm an avid reader and love to get lost between these beautiful words. I find reading to be a social activity because it allows me a peek inside other people's minds which in turn makes me more empathetic towards others. One day in the near future, I hope to publish my very own words in the area of poetry as well as my other love, food.
Yoga and speed walking are just a few of the things that keep me balanced and centered. I love family and friends; and, of course, wholesome foods with a glass of cocktail. Life is what you make of it. And, I try to savor and enjoy the simple and precious moments.
