When shopping for a fresh pineapple gently tug on one of the top leaves. If if pulls out easily it is ripe. Once you get your pineapple home, store it in the refrigerator upside down for at least 30 minutes. Overnight would be even better. This allows the sugars in the pineapple to redistribute throughout the fruit to ensure the sweetest pineapple possible.
The fruit kabob to the right has a combination of fresh fruits. Strawberries, honeydew, canteloupe,watermelon, and our perfectly ripe pineapple.

Keep it simple for the first one. Step one - WHO Invite a few friends over. The simple fact that they are your friends should give you comfort. If a disaster happens and your party is a complete flop your friends are going to continue to love you no matter what. Step two - WHAT. What is the theme of your party? Maybe it is a movie watching party. Step three - WHERE. Decide where you are going to have your get together. Your home is a great place because as the host, you will be in the most familiar surroundings. Step four - WHEN. Friday and Saturday nights are typically the most popular entertaining times because most people don't have to worry about it being a late night and having to get up early for work the next day. Also, by Friday night people are ready to relax with a few friends to reward and recharge themselves after a hard week at work. Step five - WHY. Why are you wanting to have this party? It could simply be to nurture your friendships and let your close relationships know how much you care about them.
