You weren’t supposed to see my pudgy, stout fingers. *Hides Face* Yes, those fingers are my bane of existence. Despite all those extra pounds in the wrong areas and a capsicum-like nose, I truly love all of me…. except these fingers!

Here you go — unveiling my hand for the world to see! 😛
But let’s focus on the Coconut Milk on my hand, shall we?
It is a breeze to make! All you do is grate the coconut, grind and squeeze out it’s juice! Do it once – you’ve got thick milk. Dilute it with a bit of water and do it again – you’ve got thin coconut milk!
