as i was about to cut this pineapple i thought "i should blog this"
(my brain is wack)
but i just went with it.
i have had three different people ask me how to cut pineapple recently.
so now i will show you....not because i think i am awesome....
but because i bet there are a few of you that have never bought one
because you didn't know how to cut it.
or you cut it and the hard part is still on the bites.
or the brown peel part.
ewww.
enjoy my dorkiness.
step one: buy a pineapple.
step two: cut the top and bottom off so the pineapple has an even and flat base.
step three: cut it into four equal parts from top to bottom.
step four: cut the middle from each quarter piece.
step five: i cut my four big pieces in half so it is easier to cut
(i don't like the idea of cutting my hand open....)
step six: cut down the middle of each piece to the peel but not through the peel.
step seven: then cut the opposite direction four times...to the peel but not through it.
step eight: slide your knife between the peel and the fruit all the way across.
you want to be far enough in from the peel to avoid getting the the brown parts of the peel
on your bite size pieces.
then...throw a bunch in the blender and make a smoothie.
oh yum.
so there you go.
big dorky post that probably made you laugh....
but maybe...one person learned how to try something they never have.
and i have helped one person stop buying canned pineapple.
YUCK.
have a super fabulous friday!
i am going to go drink my smoothie now.
