This and That

I resurrected yet another old blog draft ( I think I am down to 80 or less of them now).  By the way, the last trip to Amish, the same store (below), gave out samples of a "health" bottled blend (called Good Health).  My husband took a sample, and he said it tasted just like the Four Thieves Vinegar I make for us.

Enjoy!  Let's talk pineapples.

The last time we ventured out, we re-stocked some supplies, like organic oats, organic steel cut oats, sesame seeds (I use them in homemade granola), and other items.  We cannot buy them here in bulk, so it's a bit of a drive.  We made the most of it.

We brought back a pineapple for $1.99 and it was delicious.  The one store we shop at, has a machine inside that cuts your pineapple for free.  We'll be sure to bring back a few each time we venture out for baking supplies.  I wish our stores around here had one of those machines.  I don't buy pre-cut fruit, due to recalls, and it is a pain to cut one at the house.

You place your whole pineapple in the top of the machine (to the right in the photo), put your pre-priced container in the bottom, press buttons, and poof!  Your pineapple is cored for you for free.

I just has to slice it, and dice it, and then enjoy it. 

The cost to buy a pre-cored pineapple is about $5-6 and if you want it all cut up, it's even higher (almost double that).

Do you own a pine apple corer?  Do you recommend one?  Also, do you have any tips on picking out a fresh whole pineapple?  I made a guess.
