    Throw it away! NO! Perish the thought.

    I'd be making batches of Twinks HobNobs like nobody's business.

    Maybe you can't find any recipes because you're spelling it wrong: it's desiccated

    Easiest coconut cake ever.

    1 cup coconut
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup sr flour
    1 cup milk.

    Mix, put in loaf tin for 45 min to 1 hour at gas 4/ 180.

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    Impossible pie sounds yummy apart from the coconut - wonder what I could replace it with?
