Isn’t it just amazing how much color that fresh fruits and vegetables can add to a meal? As we do every Sunday, my family got together for lunch, and fruit was to be my contribution this past weekend. I love fresh pineapple, but had never bought a whole one. The spiny exterior has always seemed a bit daunting, and the courage to try it has always eluded me… until now.
Has anyone used one of those corers to get the pineapple started? I try to stay away …

Sure, the storyline is one that is slightly modified from previous movies, but in all truthfulness, there are only a finite number of plots, and all movies are just some adaptation of that limited number. I heard the number of different possible plots one time, but I don’t remember what it was (something in the 30’s I think).
