BTW: love that your cooking in your hello kitty jammies! LOL cute!

ok ok...i have always loved coconut first of all, but over the past few months it seemed like every recipe i looked at used the thai coconuts and I thought for sure this was just some new food fad and there would be no difference. I was at whole foods shopping and they had a good deal on them so i bought one.........HOLY CRAP! I am officially coo coo for coconuts! LOL I cant get enough, i need a program really.......! They are so good!!!!!!!!!

[liplylips]

some dates would have been yummy in there too! :P

i recently tried those white coconuts and i think i got a bad one. mine was kinda salty water and jelly like white inside stuff. it didnt taste like a coconut or smell like one.

also i live in a cold climate so it probably took a year to get here lol is this what it is supposed to taste like?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

No, that's one that has gone rancid. If the taste is off and not clean or it's brownish or purplish inside or too jelly like - it's rancid. Coconuts have about 1 month life after being picked and then I wouldn't advise eating them. They get imported from tropical places and then have about 3 weeks max life when put out in the store. Sorry that happened, don't give up!

[maestrodms]

I think you look wonderful... and if anyone does there homework, they would find out that coconut is extremely good for you!!! Thank you for your wonderful recipe.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

COCONUT IS SO LOVELY!!! I EAT ABOUT 2 A WEEK, SOMETIMES THREE. THEY ARE SUCH A TREAT AND SO HEALTHY FOR YOU. Thanks for the comment and coconut love!

[JUNIORK1974]

Please eat , you look malnourished.

[sh4rlurv3]

Mmmhm! Coconut is so nice for texture too :p

Guess what?!  I saw Juliano in Portland Monday night, wee..have you ever picked up his book, the Raw Gourmet?

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I have one of his books. It's divine but too complicated for me. I like my recipes simple for optimal digestion. He's very opinioned, obviously orthorexic and raw-chef-brilliant!

[sh4rlurv3]

Yes, I actually put off gettin raw because his book was the first one that I picked up on the subject. I did notice that he doesn't directly answer questions, but tends to get pretty wound up about his beliefs.

[kaymarie888]

lmao, your such a goofball. xD

[LucyShy]

Do you think if you boiled coconut it would make your house smell good?

I might try that.

..and use it for tea after.

haha, awesomeness.

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I never thought of that as air freshener ... mmmmmmm you've got an interesting idea there. I wonder if it would work. I'd have to suck it up and allow myself to do that before devouring the coconut whole. They are seriously, like avocados, one of my not-so-guilty-pleasures... mmm coconut

[lunacyffringe]

cocunuts are LOVELY. fresh coconut during hot summer days... the best :)

i loooove watching you make all these new kinds of unconventional food... an inspiration for me to start going raw

[peppernme]

I need a "scratch and sniff" video please.

I saw a glimpse of your face behind the blender - So cute!

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Oh God, you caught me, first thing in the morning hahaha I don't even think about these things when I am so excited to make raw foods ... messy kitchen, messy me... would drive my OCD and BDD MAD, INSANE! but my dietary lifestyle is so heartfelt to me that apparently these things don't matter as much when making raw food on film

[MyOwnStickFigure]

I think scracth n sniff recipe online is a good idea but people could easily take advantage over scratch and sniff ... see-more-butts

[Angitia39]

Haha.. Looks yummy cherry top..

[calikaren71]

You're fantastic, & I look forward to getting to know you! You amaze me w/your vulnerability & strength to put yourself out there for all to see. Like I said, you SO need your own show: Cooking w/the Pink Ballerina Princess! I love your joy w/your food! You're abso-fuckin-lutely beautiful! MUCH LOVE! Karen

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Hi my lovely new friend! An ice cream scooper works very well to get the meat out. Yes, I have encountered SEVERE muscle atrophy from EDS and my physical therapist is very concerned about my arm strength and has advised me to lift small weights and is teaching me resistence exercises! So I will bulk up slowly as I gain weight and muscle, just gotta keep on track. He also tells me to eat coconut, cute guy.

[calikaren71]

PT is awesome! Ive had to do it for my legs, due to my Pernicious Anemia (vb12 deficiency) & Im lucky to even be walking, Im a shortie GIMP now, lol.
