Pineapples for all!

Before I left for the weekend on Friday, James gave me a little going away gift. A pineapple slicer/juicer and a pineapple and crazy straws! Okay so to you this may not sound very exciting but to me, having a cocktail in an actual pineapple shell is really really really cool. I was very ecstatic, so I decided to document my first attempt at using the slicer.

Step #1 - grab a pineapple and a slicer










Step #2 - Cut the top off of the pineapple with the biggest knife you can possibly find.







Step #3 - Jab the pineapple slicer into the top of the pineapple and twist!






Step #4 - Don't twist too far or else you end up going through the bottom and destroying your nice pineapple glass and losing your juice.







Step #5 - Pull out the slicer and you have a nice pineapple ring









Step #6 - Drink the juice, unfortunately not in a cool pineapple cup ( I guess I need to practise)









Step #7 - Enjoy the pineapple ring






This is how you enjoy a pineapple slicer. I will be eating alot of pineapples this summer to perfect the technique. Thanks again James, this couldn't have been possible without you.
