WOMEN'S MARKET @ Bloomington Community Farmers' Market
INSIDE CITY HALL
Tomorrow, Saturday August 23rd.
I miss some things.
Like eating a coconut that just came off a tree.
Or from a jellyman selling jelly coconut on the side of the road who would cut off the top so smooth with his Cutlass and give you in your hand to drink the jelly water straight from the young coconut.
And if it's sweet, he would ask you how much you want, and slice the tops and pour the water into a litre bottle.
"You want jelly?". Of course I want the jelly. I always want my jelly you see. So he would cut them open after he pours off the water , and cut a spoon from the hard green shell off the coconut. Boy I could eat jelly for days.
Or take a brown coconut and dig out the eyes to drain the water off before you crack it open to grate the coconut. Then use it to bake or make coconut milk.
I guess I was just feeling for coconut 🤷🏿.
So I made some coconut cake. And banana bread. And Sugar City Slices with raisin filling. And I have some sorrel to drink with it.
I'll be at the Women's Market tomorrow in City Hall.
Saturday 23rd August. From 9 am until.
