Tough nut

Tracy, our former admin officer at the cafe, dropped in to say hallo and offered to lend a hand for old time's sake. Because she's a hand-on sort of woman who's always up for a challenge we suggested she tackle the coconuts that have proved near impregnable* to attack. With a large cleaver and a very loud whack she proved she wasn't the slightest bit coconut shy. She whizzed up the milk and the meat and Rosi (left) used it to make a rhubarb and coconut crumble. Waste not want not is the name of our game!

* These special coconuts from Thailand come with a warning that the suppliers cannot be held responsible for damage to knives, hammers, swords or whatever else you chose to open your coconut with. We also cannot be held responsible for any injury caused while opening.
