Pineapple

I went to the local farmer's market today. I love that place! I enjoy just walking around absorbing the sights and sounds and figuring out what I should take home with me.

Today I bought tomatoes, asparagus, local bell peppers (they are about the size of limes), a korean yellow melon, some fresh rosemary and a local pineapple, all for only 915 yen (about $9).
The pineapple isn't huge, it is pictured against my 15 inch plate, but it smelled incredible. I had to slice open the pineapple right away to serve with lunch. It was by far the freshest and sweetest pineapple I have ever tasted in my life. I wish I could send one to each of you. But since I can't, I will tease you with a picture:
