Well, if they can, maybe we could make a Four and Twenty Swallow French
Cococnut Pie. It might go down easier.

I can't find this. Is it desiccated or a creamy concoction?

It's sweetened, shredded desiccated coconut. In recent years I have not
found it in cans, but in plastic bags. The quantity, 5-1/3 ounces is roughly
equivalent to 2 cups, although I generally weight it on a scale. The bags
generally contain more than you need.

BTW, I weigh everything when I'm baking. As Emeril says: "It's chemistry!"

Remember Marty Stouffer and his _Wild America_ teevee show about animals and

show.
