Pineapple #3 is done.

Good lord. The cores are getting harder and harder to eat. My tongue is swelling more and itching more. In fact, it feels "raw". Yuck. This was a hard one. Really hard one.

But my reward to is go eat some of the nice juicy flesh, not that the entire core is in my tummy.

Damn you cores. Damn you straight to hell! (unless of course I get a BFP and I would like to welcome you to my house Friday evening for dinner!)

nancy said...: Kaci - yes, too much pineapple in 3rd tri can cause contractions, so they say to lay off. Also, lay off the pineapple juice.

I'm eating the core and only one slice of the flesh. :)

Yup, I did my research! But thanks for worrying about me!; January 29, 2008 at 7:30 AM
Kaci said...: I knew you had an inner nerd, so I figured it must be ok. So I'll end with a YUCK on eating the core!; January 29, 2008 at 7:33 AM

Birdee said...: That took me a minute, I had no idea what you were talking about, but I back tracked and found your original post about pineapples,
Sooo... I broke out my Champion juicer and have been juicing up Carrot and Spinach juice every day (thats 5+ carrots and a big bowl full of spinach in one tall glass of green juice) and I'm also juicing up fruit and making pulp free smoothies, which I've been including pineapple. So now that I know, I'll juice up the core too. Well, on the months that I might have a chance anyway.; January 29, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Kaci said...: You hide your nerdiness well. You're NOT a nerd like the nerds I went to college with, KWIM?; January 29, 2008 at 3:45 PM
