Coconut Milk Cheese
A small exchange that took place a few minutes ago...

Co-Worker: Where can I buy coconut milk cheese?

Me: I’m sorry? No, um, you can’t buy it.

Co-Worker: Why not?

Me: Because you can’t make cheese from coconut milk.

Co-Worker: But it’s milk.

Me: No, it’s just called coconut milk because it looks like milk. It isn’t actually milk. It’s juice from inside the coconut.

Co-Worker: But you make cheese from milk.

Me: Yes, milk from a cow or goat or something.

Co-Worker: So you can’t make cheese from coconut milk?

Me: Nope. Sorry.

Co-Worker: I’ll go ask *other co-worker* and see if she knows where I can buy it.

[Because apparently, I’m an idiot and a liar. I wish him the best of luck in his search.]
