"Sir" (that's my 3 year old son) keeps asking us for a yellow boat. Apparently he needs to row in the river that runs through our property. I’m not sure why it has to be yellow, but I guess he has his reasons. This river of ours has brought about a lot of request. One of these request has resulted in more Pineapples than I know what to do with!
One of our lovely neighborhood farmers wanted to buy an acre of our land. I'm not trying to sell off an inch of my haven, but I had to be nosey and ask why he wanted it. Turns out he just wanted river access to water his crops. Free river water...Huge water bill...free river water...huge water bill. Heck I would opt for the free river water too! It wasn't like I was using all of this water, so we allowed him to run a pump out of the river. I was able to help a neighbor and created a new friendship, Can't beat that.
Fast forward a few weeks after our good deed... There is a ring at our front gate, it's the "River Water Dude" and he has come bearing gifts. Turns out he has a pineapple farm in another city (he is an exporter for Dole!) and wanted to give us pineapples as a "thank you" gift. How sweet...but then he showed up again about a week and a half later and he kept showing up again and again each time with MORE PINEAPPLES... Now what to do with em?
I hooked up a "tropiguac", soft pineapple cookies, grilled pineapple w/ vanilla ice cream & rum sauce, pineapple-orange beef over a bed of rice, virgin banana pina coladas, (kids gotta drink too), and some lava flows for the grown folk! Yup we are going hard on the Piñas!
