Kroger is notorious for hard unripe pineapples (and peaches…and melons), but they had these today, so I bought one:
Nice brown skin, and I can smell it and it doesn’t smell rotten, and no gnats flying around the pineapple display, so my hope are high.
I was so buoyed by that, I bought some peaches, and the honeydew melon I got there a few days ago was passably sweet.
Kroger now has some small pineapples with a yellow/pink color that are actually called "pink pineapples." I have no idea what's inside, or what they taste like.

I’ve seen those at the international market (I’m pretty sure that’s what they were), but at a whopping $14, I’ve yet to try one.
I’m planning on heading down there sometime in the next couple of weeks, so I may splurge since we have a challenge going on.
I didn't notice the price. There's no way I'd pay 14 bucks for one, especially not having any idea what they taste like. I'll let you be the taste tester on this one.

Didn’t buy it, but this is what was happening at the gourmet shop today:

Of course you don't like salmon and know that I like/love it. SUSHI!!!!!!
Butter cheese and Gouda (from Goudaland!), that’s about as “wild” as my cheese tastes get. Ice cream is for the peach cobbler I’m making Tuesday. Because of the holiday weekend, I was left with shop’s-brand dip. I normally make my own, but I’m being easy on myself where possible this holiday.
Wine is for fondue…in July heat. That dastardly mint is for an upcoming pineapple dessert.
We don’t get those bright yellow melons for very long, so I bought one.
Chips/crisps to go with the dip(/drips?
) from above. Splurging on brioche buns for the cookout later.
Oh…it must be Christmas in July:
Found that waiting on me when I got home. They all look good, but I’m especially interested in that blood orange cider.

That Gouda does look like actual Gouda, so you've got an eye for the good stuff.View attachment 101923

Mould Festival Haul Pics.
It’s getting hard to even contemplate the amount of cheese and goodies I’m in possession of.
Olive jam
Cold smoked buffalo mozzarella
Sauerkraut with wakame & ginger
Goats curd, chèvre etc
Tiny cornichon
Patè. Omg. Amazing. And a gift!
Hunterbelle. Of of this us also a gift.
Second Mouse double cream brie.
Almost everything in this image was a gift, except the Little Creek. The Pyengara cheddar is the reason my boss at Second Mouse won’t even try to make cheddar.

Here’s the definition of serendipity:And I ask myself, "Why wasn't I there???"
MrsT, upon her return from Alaska last week, told me that she’d had some salmon there she really liked (keep in mind, this is a woman who spat out local smoked salmon in Scotland), so saying she liked some salmon was rather earth-shaking.
I took those pics yesterday and texted them to her, as more of a little interesting thing, like, “You just got back from Alaska, and the shop here is selling overnighted salmon!”
What I didn’t know was that just the day before, she’d been talking to the neighbor, and she mentioned that they’d heard about shops occasionally getting salmon in and selling it out front…exactly what I just happened upon.
She quick texted them, and they went over and bought some…$24/pound, and you had to buy the whole fish, and the one they bought was about five pounds. $$$$
But hey, they wrapped it for free!
