If I look up, I see a white wardrobe, white wall, photo on the wall in a white frame, white chair, white orchid, white pillow and my body is stretching a white T-shirt. Prior to that I drank white drink and Christ, when will be the end of this ‘all white movement’ ?? No, I'm not complaining. I became aware of all this whiteness because of that aforementioned white drink. Homemade coconut milk. Coconut is number one to me in everything and I wish that I could buy coconut water and coconut milk everyday. I don’t buy these often, due to the price and that is why I decided to make my own coconut milk, because this mama is fed up with coconut abstinence! With love, Neja

Če dvignem pogled, vidim belo omaro, belo steno, fotografijo na steni v belem okvirju, bel stol, belo orhidejo, belo blazino in moje telo razteguje belo majico. Pred tem sem spila belo tekočino in Kristus, a še ne bo konec te beline?? Ne, saj se ne pritožujem.  Na vso to belino sem postala pozorna zaradi tiste prej omenjene bele tekočine. Domače kokosovo mleko. Kokos je zame številka ena glede vsega in želim si, da bi kokosovo vodo in kokosovo mleko prodajali po nižji ceni. Zaradi cene ju ne kupim pogosto in ravno zato sem se lotila priprave domačega kokosovega mleka, ker ima tale mama dovolj kokosne abstinence! Z ljubeznijo, Neja
