I have had that before and it is such an awesome combo! Love it!

I just went strawberry picking yesterday and ate them until I was sick ahha! But, I’m making fresh whipped cream and shortcakes for a dessert tonight! Coconut milk is amazing, I have a can right now and plan to add some to a smoothie soon and make a curry sauce with it as well.
Looks like we’re on the same page. I had this exact thing yesterday. And I was so proud because I used a real coconut and made my own milk for once! :p
You crack the coconut, bake it to remove the shell, peel the skin and then chop up the meat. You put the meat in a food processor with about 1 C of hot (but not boiling water) and then let the processor run 20-30 minutes. Then you pour all of that into a towel over a bowl and squeeze the towel to get the liquid out. Your left with milk in the bowl and meat or shredded coconut in the towel. ๐ It takes a lot of time, but it was so fresh! I won’t do it all the time, but every now and then, it’s fun. I should do a post on this, huh? LOL
We’re going to the u-pick berry farm next month and I couldn’t be more excited about it! On our way back from BC we picked up the freshest peaches EVER. I love summer. Love, love, love it! (and I love your picture today too!)
i can’t even think about fruit right now. i’m still recovering from the whole watermelon i took down yesterday.
okay, that’s a lie. i’m about to fill up my bowl right now.
