Slurpee Time

7-11 TimeThere are 7-11s all over the developing world, but none in Samoa, which is a tragedy. A slurpee on one of Samoa's insane heat-index days would be a god-send. Instead, I had to settle for a the occasional ice-cold niu (young coconut). Not a bad trade off.

Even though it was a chilly today, I couldn't resist stopping in the first 7-11 I came across. First I made a combo coke/cherry slurpee, but I threw it away when I saw that 7-11 now has vanilla syrup to add to Big Gulps and made a vanilla coke slurpee instead. It was great. I highly recommend it if there's a 7-11 in your area. If not, talofei.

I thought coconut milk gave you diarrhea! Is that just a myth?

I don't know. It might be. It never gave me the shits. But this isn't coconut milk. This is the water inside the coconut. Coconut milk is made from squeezing and pressing the meat. The milk is very rich and fatty. The juice is really fantastic for you and is the closest thing in nature to Gatorade. It's full of potassium. And it's delicious when it'sserved cold.
