You put the lime in the coconut...

Monday at the grocery store, Alex begged me to buy a coconut, so I said, "why not?"



First we drained it and strained the coconut juice to use for later.



Then we took it outside and cracked it open using a hammer.



We took the two halves and placed them on a cookie sheet and baked them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes to get the coconut meat out.



We are planning to make a coconut cream pie later this week!
