We bought a pineapple tonight after plenty of inquiries by Henry. Repeatedly he has pointed it out at the market wondering aloud “what is that?” and “can we buy it?” Like any loving parent: we gave in.
After dinner we set it on Olivine’s tray, not realizing she was not so fond of its texture, size, or shape. Yikes! Joe whisked it away, to the cutting board, using our wonderful tool
that will slice off skin and core it in just a few twists.
All of which made Olivine calm but still serious
and I can’t forget that for all the hard work there is a reward (in liquid form).She quickly discovered the sweetness of this new fruit
or as her cousin Fiona likes to rate fruit- I think Olivine would say this was a real “elbow-licker”
and Henry would agree
while Paul’s face says it all.
Dessert is sometimes like a party and we love that.
