Coconut videos. Only two weeks late.

Listen. Before you get all "where have you been, Vince?" let me tell you exactly where I have been. I have been in Atlanta, immersing myself in the terrifying culture of specialty coffee, eating fried chicken and peach cobbler, and yelling at CNN tour guides. More on that later, though, as I am preparing what I would like to deem an epic blog about my time in Atlanta (these postings take time, people). In the mean time in between time, though, I offer you these coconut pictures and videos that I promised. Please forgive me and enjoy the spectacle.

Step 1: Hammer screwdriver into coconut with a meat mallet.

How I did not lose a body part trying to hammer our kitchen knife into the coconut is beyond me.

The incredible mess in our kitchen. Notice the coconut on the walls and the sheer number of tools we used. I remember, amongst others, a strainer, blender, meat mallet, knife, another knife, a nail, a corkscrew, a can opener, tongs, a broom, a screwdriver, several forks, and a pocket knife.



The final step (before cleaning the incredible amount of coconut all over the place) was the blender. Our blender got very, very hot by the end of the exercise but it survived (this is actually blender #2. We broke our first blender a few weeks after moving in as we tried to make hummus. Damn you, hummus!).

I have been sitting here for 45 minutes and not one video has loaded. They are just taking too long to load and I need to go. Sorry to have led you on. I will try again some other day... This blog was horribly mistitled and I apologize.
