Big hummer

 

There is regular-sized pineapple, then there is Costco. Like everything else there, obscenely large. I just bought one for $3.99 that must have weighed 5 pounds and took it home to John for a cutting treat. He likes fussy knife jobs and is really good at pineapple.

Anyway, you never know, sometimes they're sour or else brown and spoiled inside. I've thrown away more than one Costco pineapple. This one was perfectly sweet and juicy. I think the mistake is keeping them too long on the kitchen counter. They say very little ripening happens once pineapples are picked.

Pineapple is excellent grilled. We had kabobs last night made with spicy raw Bratwursts, onions and jalapenos. A big greasy mess on the grill but worth it. Not much in the way of leftovers.

We have two comforters for the bed, a winter down and light summer silk. I'm still flip-flopping them back and forth, because the weather can't decide if it wants to be hot or cold. It was over 80 yesterday with brilliant sunshine, but now looks like we're going into a chilly and cloudy stretch of weather. High temperatures staying in the 60's for a while, with rain this weekend.
