Friend Wife loves coconut. Me, I can take it or leave it.

But I did make Kevin's coconut shrimp shortly after he posted the recipe. Did it as a starter, and next time it will be a main course. It's really good.

Coconut - bad, bad, bad - all other nuts - just love 'em! Even all the nuts here! LOL

In all honesty - I love all kinds of nuts, plain, salted, in baking, in cooking - not fussy at all!

My nephew can't stand nuts. Whenever I take a cake , cookies or brownies over- he always double-checks with me by asking: "Uncle Kevin- you didn't put any "bones" in this, right?" Hee-Hee! L'il devil! I don't know when he started calling nuts "bones" but I have to say- I clearly understand his connection!

(Also, we hear lots about peanut allergies these days, but from my professional cooking days, I seem to recall running into more folks who had walnut allergies, than peanut.)

Gosh Kev it looks like it's you & me and KYH's Friend Wife against the world
:(on this coconut thang!!! I was licking my chomps thinking someone would post a really great Coconut Macroon recipe, and some Chocolate Coated Coconut balls, and well that just fell like a damp, sour, dirty old kitchen rag straight into the garbage can:eek:

Well excuse me all you other coconut "take it or leave it", "hate the stuff", am "allergic to the stuff "out & out coconut haters, but I really must tell you "Mas por mi'" hee-hee that's spanish for MORE FOR ME!!! :D

Here's are a few of my favorite coconut dishes Coconut Cake and Coconut Cream pie, and yes KYH the Coconut Fried Shrimp are excellent!!! I make a "Tres Leches" cake with coconut milk that is to die for!!! "Tres Leches" is spanish for three milks. Have you ever had that Kev? I believe you would love it! I wonder if Arturo ever made you one?

Anyhow I am certain that the next nut we talk about - No it's not MamaM! Gosh can ya' all please behave..........I meant cashews;)

Let's see how many "SP" foodies like cashews and have some terrific uses for them!!!! Come on guys let's have fun..... and see how cashews have brightened up your life...........
