A tale of two coconuts

Anna decided that she wanted fresh coconut while in the keys. So, on a bike ride (the week before we left) she came across a couple of nuts lying on the ground under a tree. The Snow Goose now has two nuts living & sailing on her and two more nuts residing on the back deck!

Since these were older nuts the husks were very tough. On the way up north she decided to break them open and retrieve her coconuts! I only took a saw and a big screwdriver to finally get the nuts out of the husks.

 

After lots of mess and lots of laughter (and ½ hour of work) she had her first nut.

 

Now, repeat for #2 and then get the juice and meat out of em!

Isn't he cute!
