So, this past year, Brendan tried his hand at Wrestling.
Actually, he threw his entire body in the ring and twisted it into shapes only a master-Cirque-de-Soleil Contortionist should be able to do.
And I sat on the sidelines, biting my nails down to their nail’s nubs praying all of his joints remained purposefully intact.
He not only survived unscathed {minus a few conspicuous bruises here ant there}, but he learned what it means to face difficulty head-the-bleep-on and come out stronger.
That’s how I used to feel cubing pineapples. Like I was tossed in a ring with a 356 pound gorilla in fluorescent blue tights ready to show me some pain.
But NO MORE.
And now, you’re going to know and it’s going to save your pineapple-carving life!
To cube a pineapple, first tell it to take off those hideous blue wrestling tights cuz you’re about to whip it good.
Next, cut the ends off both the bottom and the top.
Just ignore that brown looking thing in the middle. It’s fine.
Next, cut your pineapple into quarters lengthwise.
Told you I’m the one giving the bruises now, didn’t I? Haha.
Then, turn each wedge and slice off the core.
Now, we’re going to make some horizontal slices as we get ready for the Main Event.
Cut each sliced wedge in half.
Then turn each piece on its side and slice off the rind.
Now, here’s where it gets sticky. You HAVE to cut off a little more than the rind. It might feel like you are leaving some really good Pineapple-ness behind, but trust me…if you don’t, you’ll end up with some grody “eyes” left on your pineapple.
So go a little bit deeper than you reeeeeally want to as shown down below.
But don’t worry… those leftover rinds? They won’t win.
You see.. the human teeth are quite the champion when it come to wrestling a pineapple rind.
I swear they’ll win every single time.
Juicy-juicy-fruity-fruity.
Now you have some freakishly delicious and deftly cubed fresh Pineapple to share.
Or not.
Sharing perfectly cubed pineapple is definitely optional.
