my new love...

If you follow me on instagram, you have heard me say this.  I am currently OBSESSED with pineapple.  To most, this may not seem odd, but never in my life have I liked them.  If it had pineapple in it, I would not eat it.  I've never like fruit salad because of it, I've never eaten those little Dole fruit cups because of it, no pineapple upside-down cake, and never plain.
This Christmas, at my brother's house, I asked him to pick one up for me at the store and my mom looked at me in complete shock.  She said "YOU want him to get a pineapple?  Since when in your whole life have you eaten pineapple?!" but I devoured that thing almost in one sitting and for the last few months, I have had at least one in my house each week.  It only lasts 2 days max and that is mainly because I make myself stop, put it in a container and stick it in the fridge til the next day.  Last week I got one that wasn't ripe enough so when I cut it it did not taste very good.  I was so disappointed!  Well, this one is sitting on my counter right now and I refuse to cut it just yet because I only bought it this morning and if I eat it now, it will be gone before the weekend.  I have this thing about groceries being eaten, and therefore gone,  too soon after I go to the store.  It drives me kind of nuts.  So I'm gathering up all of the self control that I can muster and will at least wait until tomorrow afternoon to cut and eat this thing!  Crazy hormones I guess!  I still don't think I'd eat it in fruit salad, Dole cups or cake but fresh?  I have a whole lifetime of pineapple eating to make up for!!
