Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Maxperson]

Following the rules shouldn't be that hard.

Also recently, you can have an employee say something stupid and just let stupidity hang in the air…until it wilts under its own weight.

One thing you can't get online is the feeling as they say something dumb, and you just stare at them until they wilt.

The wife and I were at the FLHS for their auction, where regulars auction off their Warhammer armies and RPG items so they can get store credit to buy... new Warhammer armies and RPG items. Anyway. This guy sitting next to us in the crowded shop just started "Well, ackshually"-ing my wife (well, at the time, girlfriend) about something she said about one item. But he said something a little dumb. So, I started correcting him. He tried to interrupt me, but I got inadvertently louder because I hadn't finished. He tried going to his maximum volume. Gentlemen, I have run tables of ten people in a hobby shop full of screaming Warhammer players and still been heard by all ten players; I am not one to be drowned out. He stopped because the auctioneer started talking and people were giving us strange looks; as soon as he stopped talking, I stopped talking.

Later, my wife thanked me for doing "that thing." Brothers, I had no idea what she was talking about until she explained it to me. But she said "Yes," so it must not have been that egregious.

That's right, I'm posting cold pineapple recipes because some of y'all need to chill out.

Pineapple Lush

1-1/2 cups of graham crackers, crushed​

1/3 cup granulated sugar​

1/2 cup melted butter​

1 cup heavy cream, very cold​

2 sheets of gelatin​

1 cup powdered sugar, divided use​

8 oz. cream cheese, softened​

1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained​

Pineapple chunks, graham crackers, and/or coconut flakes, for garnish​

First, make the crust:*

Finely crush the graham crackers​

Combine with the granulated sugar and melted butter.​

Press into the bottom of a 8 x 8 baking dish​

Refrigerate until needed.​

Then, make stabilized whipped cream:*

Soak the gelatin in cold water until soft​

Dissolve in 2 tablespoons of boiling water, and set aside.​

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the whipped cream with half the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.​

Stream in the gelatin mixture, and beat to stiff peaks.​

Set aside.​

Then bring it all together:

Beat the cream cheese and remaining powdered sugar until smooth.​

Fold in the crushed pineapple.​

Fold in the whipped cream.​

Spread evenly over the graham cracker crust​

Garnish, or don't.​

Refrigerate overnight.​

​

​

*Feeling lazy? Don't have a stand mixer? Don't worry, I got you. Replace the stabilized whipped cream with an entire tub of Kool-Whip, and use a ready-made graham cracker pie crust. Enjoy your dessert.​

Last summer, I meant to make a daiquiri with a puree. Time to experiment with whatever they have at the store tomorrow!

If they have strawberries, you're in for a treat!
