Pina Coladas!

I made it completely from scratch. I took about three hours. :-0

And I learned that a coconut is the hardest thing ever to open and prepare.

I have never opened one before so first, I tried taking a knife to it....and I quickly found out that would never work. So then I looked it up on the internet. And used the hammer thing to do it, but even that was extrememly hard.

I started wanting to make one because they sell pina colada smoothies at school sometimes but I don't know the ingredients, it's probably a mix that they use with a lot of artificial stuff and dyes so I wanted to make a natural one. I feel better when I know whats in something i'm eating.


These are what I used:
And 32490 hours later this is what I ended up with. :) There was one more cup too. I had too strain i as well because they were little hard pieces of coconut chunks. Eww.
And this picture below is a gift from my okasan. Well mostly, someone at her work gave her three so me and my two sisters each got one, except mine was the only red one. :)

And after many many months I found enough money to place another order to JBox.com. It's been a while! I hope m stuff comes super super super soon. It can take a while.

Ja ~ Ne!
