Okay, this sounds lovely. I'd been bragging to a few of my friends that I made the meanest coconut rice in existence. And they took me on and I invited them to the house to prepare the meal. It was about 6pm and I tried blending the coconuts in the food processor. I heard a whirring sound and then a spark and it stopped moving.

I almost cried cause I really needed it to work that day and all the local grinders had closed. I did the unthinkable then by loosening the screws to see what it happened. Apparently, some bit of twine had gotten in it and had twisted itself all around some important valves. It took about forty five minutes to get it running but yeah, I did it.

And was doubly proud of myself too, cause I cooked the rice and they affirmed that it was one of the best they had ever eaten. Win-win.🤗
