Follow up on the Pineapple Wedger - IT'S A WIN! (pictures)

So I told you all that I would report back on the Pineapple Wedger.  Can I tell you how many pineapples I have thrown out over the years due to not getting them peeled in time and they went bad?  The Pampered Chef Pineapple Wedger is one of the most unique gadgets that I now have in my kitchen for use.  It peels and cores the pineapple in one swoop.  Little to no waste...it is worth every penny!  I tried to take step-by-step pictures to show you how it works, but the pictures do not demonstrate how easy and effortless this item is to use.  It does not take much effort AT ALL to push the wedger through the pineapple...not like some of those apple wedger/corer products that you (as well as I!) have in our kitchen drawers that we struggle with.  NO struggle with this awesome tool.  We will be eating much more fresh pineapple in this house now that I have this awesome gizmo!

Tuesday...it's raining, but I STILL went to the gym!

Well, I realize this is a FOOD AND BEVERAGE blog, but all that food and beverage means heading back to the gym.  Today I officially started back.  15 minute warm up on the treadmill, 15 minutes at 3.9mph on a 4 grade incline, and then 9 minutes on the elliptical.  YAY ME!

Had myself a nice salad when I got home, using up some of that ham that's left over.  Pairing with WATER at this point...haha!

Frank and I will be watching our 4 seasons of Big Bang Theory today...at least until this evening when we are contemplating heading to Harrah's (why?  cause I like to throw money away I guess!).  We will be entertaining ourselves with fresh pineapple and maybe some oranges.  I absolutely HATE peeling pineapples...to the point where I buy them and they rot before I peel them.  HOWEVER...I have a brand-spankin'-new PINEAPPLE WEDGER that is supposed to core and peel a pineapple in one happy swoop. When I get to that point, I will post an update (and some pictures!)...if this works as designed, it will be an AWESOME addition to my healthy household!
