When my sister and I were 4 years old, we spent a winter in Fort Lauderdale because my sister had had pneumonia twice and we lived in Chicago then. I remember loving to go outside and pick up the coconuts that had fallen to the ground. My father split them open and we could have coconut!
I am surprised that at 13.30 I am the first to comment, usually I am about the last these days. I found this a great puzzle, imaging that I was walking through the grove and wishing I could find a ripe coconut on the ground, I do like fresh ones not the milk it is to sweet for me. When you do get to do the puzzle I hope you will have enjoyed your day and every blessing for the weekend.
Do you watch survivor? oh they make me nervous with those machetes trying to open those coconuts, I guess they are very hard to open, I do love coconut though. I have to find a recipe for reduced sugar german chocolate cake with that frosting that has coconut in it, that is so good.

I love macaroons done by Dinkin' Donuts but don't look at the calories or the cholesterol!

When I went to Hawaii on vacation I found out that when you open the coconut and all that liquid comes out, it is coconut water, not coconut milk. Coconut milk comes from squeezing the raw coconut until it turns liquid. That is coconut milk! Learn something knew every day.

Basinda, my son went to Germany when he was in the army. He was very surprised to discover the Germans he talked to did not know what German Chocolate Cake was. I told him it was the chocolate that was German, not the cake. I don't think he believed me, but he had heard of German Chocolate.

Besinda - Try fructose. You use about half the sugar and it tastes the same.

The water inside the coconut has many nutrional properties, it is good for you

You are welcome. I meant to say instead of a cup of regular sugar you would use a half a cup or less of the fructose.
I am in the habit of doing these while I watch my soaps, my favorite is Days of our lives. that I think is the best part of my day, coming on here seeing all of you and working puzzles while I watch my soaps. Oh and of course I have my coffee next to me. :-D
I wanted to share with you all I have lost 13 lbs so far and continue to do well. no more numbers like before I said goodbye to 400 and then I said goodbye to 390 and now I am 387! I am increasing my trips to the gym from twice a week to three times. I feel very optimistic. To all of you who struggle with weight and health issues my support and prayers are with you. God bless!!! I love you all.
Planning on starting to walk once I have my walking cast off.
