dollar per

a recent produce sale at our local market saw the price on pineapples plummet to a dollar a piece. it was enough to get us to put down a sizable investment on a crate of the tropical treats and dust off the old dehydrator which has moved houses with us around five times and been used all of once. the dried pineapples turned out so well that over the past two weeks, we've spent no less than $48 plus tax on pineapples, and have little left to show for it but a sandwich baggie of leftovers and mouths so contused and lacerated by citric acid that we couldn't taste a block of sea salt if it were tied to our tongues. still, what a way to go.

That's so funny. Last time I ate pineapple I was thinking to myself, "this is really good, but just imagine how good it would be if it were really hard to chew."

i thought about sending you some, since it was grown down the street from your house, but somehow costs 1/10 the price at my grocery store.

You might want to try dehydrating some Fresno State corn.
