Scavenger Hunters' C-C Supreme

This week, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune is running the annual "Fill-In-The-Blanks Challenge," a Mad Libs of sorts.  This year there is a "Top Chef" theme so it's called, "How To Make a Suncoast Supreme." Here's what's posted on the SHT website:



Seemed like it would be fun to ask the Neighborhood Scavenger Hunters what they thought would make for a good C-C (Central-Cocoanut) Supreme, so as they stop in and hang out for a while at La Casa Chica I am asking them for their recommended ingredients for the recipe - here's what they've come up with so far...
