Try it, Br*nze...it's D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!
I'm not a big chocolate fan unless it's candy mixed with other stuff (e.g. Turtles, Snickers, Twix, BabyRuth, Reese's Pieces or the miniature cups or sometimes Mr. Goodbar). Sometimes I get cravings for peanut butter and chocolate combined and don't have any PB & chocolate candy so this was one solution. The other solution is 2 slices of wheat toast topped with PB and chocolate syrup. I eat that occasionally to satisfy pre-period cravings.
speaking of which, my period came 6 days early so I guess we're back to that...remember when I told ya'll that was happening?
Pookiwah, I didn't cocktail yesterday either...I ate a solid food breakfast of french toast sticks, sausage links and scrambled eggs with my husband.
And I LOVE coconut water. We went grocery shopping this afternoon so i re-upped on eggs and soymilk, and I almost bought some coconut water but decided against it because I wasn't feeling experimental with the brands they had in the store. I like Harvest Bay brand (Whole Foods has it and this health food store back home used to have it too and I would buy it by the case. It's better to buy it by the case if you have access to a connect that can do that for you).
coconut water is very good for you. I believe it has electrolytes, lots of potassium and minerals and it's also good for your skin. I discovered it in 2006 and started drinking it (the harvest bay brand, then I found the Foco brand in 2007 and so far I think those 2 are neck and neck as far as favorites for me, but Foco comes in a short can and a tall can and I would order a case of the tall ones for $22 for about 20 cans or so. My connect at the time owned the chinese restaurant in the food court of the outlet mall where I worked and he sold it over there for $2.00/can. Finally one day I sent one of my good friends over there to investigate when he ran out (he said I had bought up all his coconut water and HE needed to re-up...imagine that...LOL!
) and he told me he got it from a connect of his own so I asked him to get me a case whenever he re-upped on his supply. He told me when he would have it and I just waited for him when I got off and we went to his car and made the exchange. It sucked when I quit working there because then I had to switch back to Harvest Bay since I never found out who his connect was (he seemed reluctant to say and hey...didn't want to ruin a good thing) but that brand is good too. Both those brands have the pulp in there.
Anyway... It has lots of other benefits, I'm sure you could google it to see what you come up with. Here's a wikipedia link to get you started, it's a pretty short read:

I've always wanted to try it fresh and straight from the young coconuts, but haven't yet. Maybe one day I will.
I can't describe the flavor....it's not bad. I love it...some people either love it or don't care for it. Everyone I've come in contact with don't really like it.
I don't think it tastes like coconut at all, so if you're expecting it to taste all island-like and coconutty you will be disappointed. But you should try it at least once.
I will be back on my cocktail later on today. Goodnight, Egglettes!
