Coconut Bird Feeder recipe
Cut a coconut shell in half with a hacksaw and pry out meat with a blunt knife. For each cup, drill a hole 1/2 inch in from rim, put a thick knot in end of a strong hanging cord and pass cord through hole from inside. Fill each cup with the following snack:
4 cups grated coconut meat
2 cups warmed vegetable shortening, lard or rendered suet
Chill. Use to fill cups or log feeder.
Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.
