Did You Know?

Written for fun and for RDP where Punam
has tossed out the word “hodgepodge.”

Potatoes and coconuts can travel through the U.S. mail unboxed, with the destination and return addresses written directly on their surfaces or on securely attached labels. They still require appropriate postage, determined by weight. Mailing coconuts is especially popular on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, where the post office’s Post-a-Nut service has helped visitors send these unusual souvenirs since 1991. Mail-a-Spud sends russet potatoes decorated with personalized messages, turning the vegetable into an unexpected delivery.

If you think coconuts and potatoes make a strange combo, a “hodgepodge” if you will, think again! Here’s a recipe for a spiced coconut/potato soup:
