Our Baby Pineapple

Once upon a time, last summer in fact, my hubby planted in a 5 gallon bucket, the top I cut off the fresh pineapple.
Click on OUR BABY to see why we call it our baby. If you want the whole story, go to labels on side bar.

We had no idea when to cut it, and it turned bright yellow a few days ago. I said it was ready, Hubby said wait. Yesterday, at 6:30 am, i notice it had flopped over on its side. I picket it up with tips of fingers by top knot and if fell off the plant and rolled to the ground.

I said to hubby "ya think tis ready?"

First I snapped it sitting on counter

Then in the bowl with the one I bought at the store for this week.

You can tell the lighting is not all that good in the first two photos, so I waited a few hours and started The Process of Eating Our Pineapple. Above photo is The Set Up.

While hubby hovers, I make the first cut, taking off the end

Next, off comes the top knot

See the pretty slices? on the right are the outsides I cut off, and the top knot.

"Scrumdelicious"

I must say hubby was not very patient, while I documented the surgical procedure. I placed it here, I placed it there, and if I posted all the shots I took, you would be here all day and miss your other blogs.

Can you guess what hubby did with THIS?????

coming SOON, as in TOMORROW

The Rest Of The Story

PS. it was as sweet as eating sugar. Much sweeter than the bought kind. Juice ran down our chins, all of them... ha ha
