I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

Coconuts seem to be a staple of paleo cooking, whether it be coconut flour or coconut oil or coconut butter or desiccated coconut or coconut milk or coconut cream... See? Sometimes I think paleo people are a little too dependent on these amazing fruits.

I find it kinda funny how someone can say 'I eat what a caveman would eat' when in reality, unless you lived in the tropics and actually liked exerting large amounts of energy into preparing a single food item, you wouldn't eat coconut as much as we do today. But then again, cavemen didn't know what cakes and cookies were, and he wouldn't need to make coconut flour to make them.

We've gotten coconuts twice, once before Christmas and the other one we got this week. But as much as I love coconuts, the process of getting it from a heavy, hard ball to edibility is pretty darn hard. Let's go through those steps, shall we?

Step One: Drain the Coconut Water. I'm not quite sure how a caveman would do this neatly, but find the three dark dots on the coconut and stick a thick pin type thing in there. I used a meat thermometer, but that's because that's what I found. You may have to get creative with that one. Once you reach the hollowness, tip it upside down and let all that sweet deliciousness trickle out.

First Post

Hey everyone, and welcome to my first post! I think I'm going to jump straight into it and give you a nice simple recipe for my first post.

Summer's here!
I can feel it; the days are getting longer, and the layers are getting fewer. Aaaand it's the holidays at the moment, so I've been enjoying the sunny weather. I've been longing for this season since it ended in February. And now it's actually come! It felt like it never would!

Yesterday I made myself a nice icy treat to celebrate for the inevitable return of the Australian hot weather. We had loads of fruit in the fridge, and what better way to prepare it lazily than to freeze it up and blend it with some coconut water?
