Pineapples <3

Red Firetruck. Apparently that is what I am supposed to be calling my little bro. He wanted something that would be easy for me to refer to him by, without using his given name. His suggestions were Red Firetruck, Red Suspenders, Pizza Guy, and Crazyman. Then he went on to name our pets. We have 2 cats and a dog, so he decided that the dog would be Mini, mini me, mini red firetruck, or mini man. Then, the cats, which happen to be sisters, were immediately deemed the Clones. The only question with them, is that is it A and B, I and II, one and two, or tabby and calico? I guess he didn’t think it through before he had to dart off to school. (We go to different schools) When he came back he said they could be Maverick and Oblivious, M & S, or Smart and Stupid…but we will have to see. Anyways…..

Pineapple. I never realized how much I loved pineapple, until I had it fresh. When I was little, to try to get us to eat more fruit, my mom would buy canned pineapple chunks in the juice and mix chocolate chips in. It was always a comfort food, but now that it is really pineapple season (at the store) we have bought a few whole pineapples.
The first one was amazing. Truly unbelievable. With the help of a friend, the first 3/4 disappeared in no time. Then my parents ate the last quarter just as quickly.
When we got out the second one this morning, it just melted in my mouth. Slightly tarter than the first one, but still great. To go with the juicy goodness of the pineapple, mom and I had some tea. such a perfect yet simple combo.

Every day deserves this simple perfection.
