great scott! is that a pineapple?! yes, it is. i saw it at the market. by the time i reached the checkout someone had put it in my cart. i think my alter ego. or my super ego. or my id. i get them all mixed up.
i had intended to draw/paint it 3 different ways and maybe start an entire sketchbook devoted to … PINEAPPLES!
that idea was short-lived. now i think i'll just carve out the pineapple and use it as a cocktail glass. add a tray of ice, half a bottle of vodka, and a straw.
whaddayathink? yeah. i thought so.

I’ll bring the straws…………….:-)

Gurl! You’re in luck. Google Pineapple vinegar and do it. No pain, no strain, and magical to do. Use the vinegar in your summer salads all summer long.
All that said, I started mine on April 27. It’s smelling vinegary and has a big thick mother forming. I licked the lid last time I shook it and it tastes pretty darn good. Evidently pineapple vinegar is a staple in Mexican cookery. Haven’t found one other person in my circle who has ever heard of it, lol.

You should buy two pineapples – one to eat or sip from and one to draw. Then you can eat the second one when it’s portrait is complete.

I drew a pineapple once. It took forever!! and my eyes started crossing trying to get all the points and pattern right. You did a great job on yours.

Pineapples are delicious with a sprinkle of salt; it brings out the sweetness. On a hot day iced cold pineapple slices are heavenly. Enjoy! Carrie

That pineapple wouldn’t last 2 seconds around here. We have to gobble them up before the ants find it. Ever seen a black pineapple? It isn’t pretty. EEEEWWWW.
Wendy says
Wow, that sounds delicious! Now I am hungry for pineapple. I get into food habits. It’s been grapefruit for a long time. Juice, or cut in half, it is my current, first thing in the shopping cart, item. I bought new grapefruit knives and grapefruit spoons. Delicious with a little brown sugar sprinkled on top!
