I have been on a strict tumblr break which surprisingly did result in a completely reformed sleep schedule and a newfound and shocking devotion to ebooks, but I must break my silence to report on this pineapple I just got delivered cause I have never seen one for sale with the stalk still attached and I cannot decide if the resemblance is greater to a regal scepter, some kind of medieval bashing weapon, or perhaps simply the head of one's enemy on a stake.
“In response to China's ban on imports of Taiwan-grown pineapples, Taiwanese businesses and citizens made up for the potential shortfall in sales by buying an entire year's worth of the tropical fruit in just four days.“
Stockholm coincidences
Loving this pineapple Chinese New Year decoration. People in 天母 are fancy.
What the heck is a “pineapple beer drink”? I don’t know, but I’m going to find out at some point *adds it to the fridge with all the other unconsumed beverages*
Today I finally decided that I haven’t had a sore throat, body aches, stuffed up ears, and fatigue for three days just because of the sudden change in weather or the fact that I smoked too much on Saturday night- I’m probably actually sick. I forgot about that wonderful benefit of teaching kids: the constant illness. I’ve been drinking a lot of hot water with ginger, and in the name of increasing my Vitamin C and decreasing my red bean bun intake, I bought this pineapple today. It seems ripe. I’ve never cut up a pineapple before but I’m ready.
