Tonight I cut up a fresh pineapple for dinner. I like to eat pineapple in winter, partly because It's comforting to remember that it is warm and tropical SOMEWHERE! I used my phonecam to take this picture because I think the pattern of the pineapple is beautiful too! Cutting up a fresh pineapple is a challenge. In fact, in Portuguese, the word for pineapple ("abacaxi") is also used to describe a problem so difficult and complicated that it's hard to know how to begin. If you want to eat fresh pineapple, you will need a little optimism, but the reward is sweet!
