It slices, it dices, it mices, it rices, it spices, it splices, and entices; not once or twice but thrice. It's nice.

I tried to buy one of those pineapple things the other day at Williams Sonoma, but they don't carry them in the store. Only online.

I got a very generous WS gift card for Xmas. I got an immersion blender, a lettuce spinner, and a food scale. Already had two delicious soups made with the immersion blender. It's so much easier than pouring batches of hot soup into a regular blender.

Only used it twice, but I feel like I should endorse it now.

The cheaper consumer grade Bamix immersion blender is awesome. Plenty of power, quiet, and feels high quality in your hand.

Ive been meaning to get one of those.

Speaking of dead dentists, when I got my caps done Doc said I should just take normal precautions, even though eating corn on the cob should be fine, why risk it.

I mentioned I had one of these, and he said they should give one out to everyone who gets new caps. It's easier than slitting your wrists trying to use a regular knife while holding the cob still.

When you eat corn on the cob, it doesn't seem like whole lot of corn, but then when you cut it off the cob, and it's sitting there in a pile, it's like enough for a family of four.

That has a very Jack Handy ring to it.

I got our pineapple corer thingy at our local supermarket, next to the pineapples. It was about $5.

I love love love fresh pineapple. I always forget about it too. I think it might be because the fruit you buy looks so different from the fruit that you are eating. When I walk by the pineapples, they don't call out to me. Unless they are super ripe and I can smell them when I'm standing next to them.

My friend uses fresh pineapple for the chicken kebabs (my recipe, she perfected it.) Approx inch square of chicken, wrapped in bacon, dip one half in chili powder, the other half in brown sugar. Kebab it. Add favorite noms. Grill it.

I don't care for mushrooms and peppers and the like, but when they grill out she makes a couple for me with just the chicken and fresh pineapple. Is there anything better than kebabbed fresh pineapple on the grill? I think not.

edit: is it summer yet?

That sounds mighty righteous. will try asap. We should be getting a warm snap in a week or two, we just left a 40 degree spell and when the next one arrives I will fire up the grill. IT's just too dusty with all the charcoal ash to grill indoors, plus it makes us all get very flushed in the face.

If you take a couple of Motrin before you fire it up, it helps with the headaches.

They're so tasty. I cut the slices of bacon in half, you want it to get a bit crispy so you don't want to over-bacon. There is something about the chili powder and the glaze the brown sugar makes that is the yum!
