The One Where I Show You How To Cut a Pineapple...

I've mentioned before that cooking is not my strong suit. It's not that I'm a bad cook, per se, I just hate the act of cooking. Okay, "hate" is maybe too strong a word. I'll put it to you this way; I cook for our dogs twice a week because I have to. The husband and I order in or go out to eat almost daily. We're both lazy when it comes to cooking anything more than soup or making a salad or a sandwich. {But that is going to change soon... more on that later.}

Confession: I did NOT know how to cut a pineapple before this day.

While I love pineapple, I've always gotten it pre-cut to eat. But since our friend Timmy was so kind to bring a pineapple to our Crocs party, I thought instead of watching it rot on our kitchen table, I'd cut it and eat it. And since I didn't know how, I googled/found and watched this video on how to cut a pineapple and quickly learned this easy technique.

I thought I couldn't be the ONLY one who didn't know how to cut a pineapple... and thought I'd share the process with you through this long series of pretty photos. ;)

But first, a few tips...

You can tell if your pineapple is ripe by tugging on the leaves {or A leaf} nearest the center. If they pluck out easily, you're ready to cut.

Here's What You'll Need...

* Pineapple
* Knife
* Peeler
* Cutting board
* Bowl :)


* Twist off your leaves...


* Cut off the top and bottom...


* Sheer off the sides without cutting off too much fruit...


* Use your peeler tip to pop out hard spots and brown spots {yuck}


* I really don't like the hard parts...


* Cut into slices, whichever size you prefer...


* Cut around the center...


* Pop out the hard part... {yes, that's the technical term for it}


* Cut into smaller parts.

Serve...

Or Eat...

Or just look at it...

Sure you could have just...

watched the video I watched to learn, but wasn't this so much more fun? :) Happy Hump Day!
