I bought a coconut cream pie to celebrate World Coconut Day. It's one of Denny's favorite pie flavors. Once when Rebecca and her hubby, Palu, visited, Palu made us several Polynesian dishes native to his homeland, Tonga. Many were made with coconut milk and they were so rich and yummy.
Coconut is a good source of B-complex vitamins and several minerals. Coconut is in lotions and cooking oil and salves. It's good for you, inside and out.
I don't think they are referring to coconut milk but...
Numbers 14:8 If the Lord is pleased with us, He will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.
Fun coconut fact 1: Coconuts can be used as a flotation device. I guess that's because they're pretty hollow but I wouldn't want to be at sea with only a little coconut to keep me afloat.
Fun coconut fact 2: Coconut milk is non-dairy.

Moving on to some other little known facts or at least something else to think about, Great Britain passed the British Calendar Act in 1851. They switched from using the Julian Calendar to using the Gregorian Calendar. When they changed, they lost eleven days - days, not hours! They went to sleep on September 1st and when they woke up the next morning, it was September 14th. And we complain about losing an hour for Daylight Savings Time! This calendar change also changed New Year's Day from March 25th to January 1st. Why would the new year start in the middle of a month anyway? And I thought I had a hard time keeping up with what day it is this year. That year had a lot of adjustments too.
