Pro tip of the day......

[Sean the Nailer]

Avocado hand is a real thing lol.. now apparently is coconut hand lol

I too can attest to "avocado hand" and I've put up pictures in the past regarding it, too.

The knife I was using to 'cut around the pit' in the very beginning of the process, sliced RIGHT THROUGH the whole avocado AND pit and right into my hand requiring stitches right then and there.

Never again, will I hold one of them evil bastards in my hand to cut in half. From now on it's on the cutting board, with my fingers above/beside the blade. And yes, I sharpen my own blades.

Obviously a poor, can't afford a Randall.

Looks like Condor palm arm and head bands.

So is this the “hate” side of your coffee break?

We all got skills...

Wife's friend brought those over.

Lamb from an Eyetalian butcher in N. End, Boston.

They look like they come on a cloth MG belt.

They are in wax paper, rolled, kind of neat.

Looks like it takes more patience than I have.

Cover them with sea salt and pepper, they cook in seconds.

Cold Play on the Pandora station......any dude that marries Gwyneth Paltrow ain't a dude.

 

[Maggot]

Bought the Plus P from my local shop.

It's a strange place.

I think I get great deals on Rifles but shit like ammo usually seems high.

I bought some ammo off him just to buy ammo. Was going to buy 20 boxes of that .38 ammo but he wanted $20 per. Target Sports has em at $16 per.

He throws me a bone sometimes, I throw him a bone sometimes.

So ya'll are boning each other...

 

[Maggot]

This guy does it right and with style......

Damn, that would take out every crown Ive got, but its cool.

Nothing quite like fresh cold coconut milk. I used to get them down in Central America. They kept them in a big ice chest and would open it for you fresh and give you a straw. nom nom. If they were green and you ate too many you would shit juice for awhile.

 

[pmclaine]

So ya'll are boning each other...

I'd hit it as long as I can keep getting cool guns out of there.

Doesn't make me gay.

An M1A is an M1A.

I have a story about a drunken attempt to open a coconut that I picked off a palm, outside a bar in Guam about 40 years ago, but I will save it for a later time............

You aren't the famous "Marine with three nuts" are you?

That Thai sauce is a lot of the same......soy sauce, some pepper, little garlic. Mellows the taste if you get a strong salmon
, gives you a "savory" flavor.

First round of the good stuff. Kids are eating their burgers and pasta.

Remind me what thread were we on and what was the op talking about?

I got a food woodie.

 

[Bigfatcock]

Op was talking about his nuts.

 

[Snuby642]

Oh that's right.

Well some nuts I eat.
Some I scratch.
And some I watch on the news.

And I hope the wounded hide warrior heals post haste.

Can't afford to have a good man down.

Nice one inch "flap" on my ring finger, a stab in the palm, and a shaving nick on the pinky.

Might have to resort to duck tape to stop the bleeding.

That looks bad and all, hope you get better, blah blah. Now on to the important stuff. That knife, badass!

 

[pmclaine]

My flap ain't dead yet.......

 

[armorpl8chikn]

Man look at the balls on that sucker, mucho jealous.

I was just gonna ask if dragging ones nutsack on the concrete, is the secret to opening a coconut.

 

[Slab74]

I believe that I may be the all time master of cutting towards myself. My hands look like I’ve spent a lifetime repelling with barbed wire. Every time I process a deer I have to tell myself 100 times not to cut towards my hand. I can’t figure out if my brain hates my fingers or my fingers hate me and want to get away.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

I've dressed many a coconut. I usually keep some around when on keto....like now.
Against my better judgement, having seen your hand, I will make a suggestion.
This:

Tomato Slicer

Lifetime Guarantee, 100% USA Made, & Surgical-Quality Stainless Steel! Our world-famous Tomato Slicer knife is ideal knife for cutting any fruit or vegetable!

radakitchenstore.com

It's the knife I use to debone coconuts. Razor sharp, paper thin, it will follow the curve of the shell beautifully. It will also stab the shit out of your hand if you aren't careful. The trick is a very limber, thin knife.
It's a fantastic mater slicer as well.

We had chocolate keto cake with that fresh coconut, strawberries and whipped cream - it was great.

Wife appreciated the effort, peeps had a good time.

It will be a long time coming before I screw with another cnut. (note not dyslexic)

Soooooo, did you keep going after the first wound?

The ultimate insult to your enemy....you eat their livers with fava beans....in the end I won.

I dont know if the knife hit me in the palm first than skipped up nicking my little finger before filleting my ring finger or took some other Warren Commision path to fuck me up.

It was a three in one.

After bandaging myself up I put the coconut in some warm water to unfreeze it than went at it with a butter knife popping it free from the broke up shell.

Potato peeler took the rind off the meat leaving me with clean tasty coconut.

 

[Nik H]

Didn't know how to open a coconut at all.

Prepping some dessert for wife's birthday.

Used YouTube to learn how.

Tried two methods.

Yesterday just split it and peeled the meat at room temperature. No problem but a bit of work.

Second method had you freeze the coconut over night and than break the shell. This method showed it peeling clean like a hard boiled egg. Figured I'd try it.

Broke it this am and it worked nothing like the video.

When I went to work with the mess I had the meat wouldn't peel easy as it was probably frozen to the hull.

Too much pressure, knife slip, hello Band-Aid.

I think all these videos are made by ISIS designed to have Americans cut their fingers off.

I am late to this party but they do sell packaged coconut for desserts....for next time

By any chance are you unable to count to ten?

I had an accident once while skinning large turnips...Almost lost the end of my pinkie...so it could have been 9 and a half if it weren't for a good surgeon

 

[Seed tick]

That knife is obviously very dangerous!! Sent it to me and I will dispose of it properly !!

If it makes you feel any better, The first casualty on Guadalcanal was a young Marine who cut his hand trying to open a coconut on the beach. The invasion force had been expecting an opposed landing but the Japanese were so surprised they ran off into the jungle.

The Marines second wave arrived to find the first wave sitting around on the beach eating coconuts and waiting for the second wave. The only casualty of the landing was one Marine who was trying to open a coconut with a bayonet and sliced his hand.

So technically you are in good company!

Cheers, Sirhr
