Bright, thanks for the link to the pineapple instructions. I'll give it a try next time I buy a pineapple. I used the "pull the leaf" method for years, with mixed results. Sometimes OK, sometimes not OK. And I also butter my bread before I put it in the frying pan. I thought everybody did? Of course, I thought everybody liked PB & M sandwiches, too. Maybe mayonnaise sandwiches are a Midwest thing? The standard response to it everywhere else I've lived has been "Ewwwww!" for the PB & M.

Boomer, I was totally carried away by your description of little silver easels, calligraphy, and pinkies in the air! Little Hellman's and Miracle Whip signs... It does sound lovely, doesn't it? Mini chalkboards on mini wooden easels would work, too! If we served enough Bloody Marys on a stick maybe we wouldn't have to worry about breaches of etiquette? :dontknow: Nobody would remember them the next day.

Oh I can't wait until we get to TV. I want to meet all of you! I'll bring the sandwiches! 040
