wwh, thanks for that great story about the coconut concococoction...
The coconut tuba isn't in my AMH I have here at school. I'm on my lunch break, so I'll do a Google search to see what comes up, if anything.
I did think you'd enjoy knowing the the derivation of coconut (or cocoanut) goes back to the Portuguese word for "goblin," I just learned. The Portuguese word is "coco," but the accent is too small in my dictionary to make out; that "coco" can mean grinning skull, goblin or coconut.
I know recipes aren't allowed, but I'll hide one here: Drill out the eyes of the coconut; pour out the milk; mix coconut milk with lots of vodka; pour back into shell; put a bit of aluminum foil into the holes and sealeach one with wax; by Christmas, if you do this Thanksgiving, you will have a very nice coconut liqueur.
Lady in White,
WW
