Fresh-Coconuts

In 1978, when when i visited my own home, St lucia, after an eighteen yrs. layoff, I was wild, about what we all call ‘Jelly Coconut’. Which is actually the moment the actual nut is fresh. At that time period the nut is actually green & most of us cut’s spoons right from the exterior shell, [I'll make photos later] to dish out the the jelly from nut.Very few weeks later, in fact more like day’s, the jelly will become more solid like, untill it becomes to the stage called ‘dry Coconut’ & geared up to make oil, sugary snacks,emulsions,shakes, & all kinds more. Also cleaning soap there can be therefore much to write with regards to that enchanting plant that i dont; know where to start……..

Okay,In the year 1983 I returned home to stick. I got this symbolic whack on the side of my head….

I thought ; the critical problem with creativity, is what you do with your understanding!! So I went after coconut with a vengence. Within a couple of weeks we had something similar to a gallon of coco oil , 3-4 variants coco sweets, several grated fine, some cut or sliced, the children also started utilizing different colours in them. Made coconut waffles, snacks, blended with cornmeal or casava to bake either cake or bread. We went COCO! lol …. Well up to this present day, we all make use of coconut in almost everything we all cook or bake. We were wise enough to plant some 13 trees in our own garden, consequently we all possess regular supply. Just what makes it possibly a lot more pleasant, is definitely that we still utilize granma methods!!

All this was caught by Powell that same day. Talk about fresh sea food, it doesn’t come any fresher……..

Welcome to Powl the Hobbits skin- and freediving website !

The idea behind and purpose of this website and related activities:

- To attract more visitors (and friends, not tourists) to St Lucia.
- Infrastructure and knowledge to provide out of the ordinary holiday experience is available but mostly unused.
- Networking possibilities having increased greatly through on-line communications and the Internet on the whole, it seems the obvious place to start
- Having visitors meet St Lucian life from within; stay with the people (not in hotels), eat their food, drink their rum.
- Provide local activities with locals as; free- or skin diving, deep sea fishing, shelter building, outside cooking & bbq, learning about local flora & fauna and local usage and properties (herbalism), making bowls out of calabash and other utensils from natural materials.
