Date: January 08, 2007 01:45AM I'd climb a tree, get you the coconut you wanted, and you wouldn't even have to thank me. ;-)
Thanks for sharing your pics. Ian. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 02:11AM me too you've already posted nice things and that deserves a coconut at least 
I like cameras too its nice to be able to take pics of food it seems to make it more fun somehow and just makes it easier you know like the way commercials do with bad foods making our good raw foods attractive looking tends to send messeges to help make it more appealing I find anyway 
anyone want carrot celery parsly spinach juice? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2007 02:18AM by singinraw. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 04:14AM Jelly coconut is a young coconut. The white coconut inside is soft like jelly. As a coconut ages, it gets firmer and thicker.
I think that is what CC is talking about. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 04:29AM Singinraw, you can order them online too. I'd get the "organic young coconuts", because the commercial coconuts are usually dipped in fungicides. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 04:52AM Yes florida jelly coconuts are like thai coconuts you get in oriental markets except those are not sweet and a little transparent. One has to try them.
I like climbimg trees but have you ever seen a coconut palm...lol!!! You need a ladder and a saw. I did it once, here I am 
All that is in the dish on my desk is papaya, pomegranate, avocado & blueberries I have a nikon d70 and it really is about the lense...you get with it.. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2007 04:56AM by coconutcream. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 07:42PM Yummy! That looks so good and it just made me realize that I was hungry. Time to go get my fruit!
My husband has the same camera as you, along with a bunch of different lenses. He just won an award for a picture that he took with it. It's an awesome camera. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 07:45PM We LOVE young coconuts at our house. My 3 year old daughter loves them more than anything. I only eat them once a week due to their high fat content, but I wish I could have one everyday! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/08/2007 07:46PM by Yogamama. Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 08:49PM yeah, am big on young coconuts, too...
if i can't find them in my local supermarkets, there's one place that will order them for me. so worth the extra effort! Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 09:08PM Is there any tool/technique to easily, cleanly cut open a coconut/young coconut? Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 08, 2007 09:21PM i bought a meat cleaver for the specific purpose of opening my young coconuts.
i first shave off an area at the top, then i whack a circular around around the crest and pop it open it like a soda can (a raw vegan soda! yay!) when i whack the coconut, i'm partial to resting the knife on the nut and whacking the nut onto the counter (or better yet, the tile floor) rather than to take my big knife and trying to hit the nut from a distance. i'd rather keep all my fingers, thankyouverymuch.

He uses a big cleaver and then tears it open after making a good crack in the coconut. Re: photo I took tonight

although this has nothing to do with that beautiful meal you prepared.. I was wondering what kind of camera you own? I would love to be able to take pictures of foods like that... Re: photo I took tonight

Date: January 09, 2007 07:09PM Here you go, coconutcream! He entered this photo into a "Nature and Wildlife" contest and it won First Place. He's an amazing photographer! I've seen your pictures, though, and so are you.
I left the picture big so you could see all the details in it. 
And here two more of my favorites of his pictures:

Date: January 12, 2007 06:50PM coconutcream, yes, he gets some hot pics of me, but I won't be posting those on here! In fact, he just told me that he wanted to take some new ones of me this weekend. He just got a new lens as well. Is that Chickadee the cutest bird? He waited and waited for the right time because it was really cold out, and he knew the bird was going to "fluff up" at any moment, and sure enough! He got the pic as soon as it did. He has been selling that picture to a lot of people.
I LOVE that picture of those flowers. Watermelon juice! Man, I am jealous. You are so lucky to live in Miami and you have fresh fruit like that all the time. I miss good fruit! I noticed that you eat a lot of avocados. How many would you say that you eat each day? You seem to do great on them. I am trying to eat "lower fat", but I am so hungry all the time now!
