Hawaii - Husking Coconuts & A Snack in the Alley (30 DEC 2008)

Aloha,

so our new Dutch friends (staying in the room next to ours) Willem and Nanda heard my silent whisper about Tahitian coconut vanilla sauce yesterday and therefore managed to procure a handful of coconuts during their westward venturing of the island on this day (turns out the majority were sourced at the the post office in Ho'olehua, which ships them as souvenirs to the mainland).

Camilla had already made (very tentative) arrangements to possibly gain access to someone's home to grate nuts 'sometime in the next month' but this sudden delivery of nuts placed an immediate impetus on instancy. More on this later....

[HELP: IF YOUR VIDEO STOPS INTERMITTENTLY AS YOU TRY TO PLAY IT:
For those without super fast internet connections (including us, at the moment) your videos will probably not play continuously without some advance buffering. It is easy to buffer, however, so all is not lost. Simply click 'play' to start it playing, then just click the pause button (II) on the lower left side of the video screen until you see it has buffered 1/4-1/1 past the right side of the dot (there is a red 'play' line to the left of the dot and a faded red 'buffer' line to the right of the dot). Once buffered, simply hit the red play (>) arrow in the lower left corner again and the video should play through without interruption. If it does not, it is most likely because you did not let it buffer long enough. Slow connections may require you to buffer the entire video before you begin to play it - fine so long as you know what to do!!?? Now you know. Enjoy the show!]


First things first: time to husk and then crack da nuts, which you can see more of here:



Later this evening, our new friends joined us for 'A Late Night Snack in the Alley':



Bon Appetit!

Tetefano (a.k.a. Steve) and Camilla
