How to make pineapple slices

There's nothing like eating chilled, fresh pineapple slices on a hot summer day. The succulent juices that ooze out as you bite are so refreshing. It just screams summer in your mouth. Although it's not a summer fruit (as it is available all year) the scent and color of this refreshing fruit represent summer.

As I stepped into the store the other day, I was greeted by an abundant array of pineapples displayed in the grocery aisle. With the store's glistening lights and mellow atmosphere, I felt warm inside and I couldn't resist the charm of putting a pineapple into my shopping cart.

But alas came the problem: how do I cut pineapple slices? I immediately returned the fruit to the display table and navigated my way towards the shelf where sliced pineapple slices were sold. However, touching the plastic container did not give me the same excitement as when I saw the fresh fruit. And at that moment, I decided to try to slice pineapples for the first time. Surprisingly enough, it was not as hard as I thought.

So in case you were like me, don't get intimidated by the task at hand. It is quite simple... and don't you worry, I am going to be there with you every step of the way via my instructional slideshow with Jack Johnson playing "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" in the background.

And oh, by the way, I got an award lately.  It was given by Elisabeth of Food and Thrift Finds.  It's been awhile since my last award so thank you dear Elisabeth for sharing with me the thrill of having an award.
Happy slicing!
