Pineapple | 5-minute Daily Freewrite by @mariannewest
Sometimes you feel lucky. Sometimes you don't. Whatever it is, count it all blessed and joy. Because having life itself in all the entity is already beyond mind can comprehend. And just before I chase wrong rabbit, let me get back to the point.
I am feeling lucky today when I saw the freewrite's prompt today is 'pineapple'. To say it was just a coincidence is an understatement.
Look what am I about to drink now...
Pineapple juice!
I was about to wind down and chill abit in the midst of motherhood, squeezing out that 5 minutes to write something here in the blockchain, while enjoying my pineapple juice which so happened has my surname as the brand. LEE
I really love eating pineapple, although cutting it is another whole ordeal, that's why I always buy the cut pineapple. Some of my friends say that cannot stand
it because apparently, pineapple bites their tongue? Does it happen to you?
We are in the Day 9 of celebrating Chinese New Year. Real Chinese people really celebrate each day according to its significance. You can Google it up to find out what lies behind each single day. But one thing about CNY is that we invite many pineapples and oranges and tangerine into our houses. These are fruits that signifies prosperity and luck.
Just take pineapple as an example. In Hokkien dialect, pineapple is "ong Lai" means luck come. So if you want more luck, eat more pineapple. No, I am just kidding. Luck is blind. Luck is random. So I don't rely on luck. If I want to prosper, I work towards it. If I want to be successful, I determine to move there.
Time is running short. Here, I wish everyone happy and blessed forever. And steem on!

Pineapple juice, that looks tasty! We have a local pineapple soda and some imported pineapple juices in Suriname, but not 100% pure juice and mostly artificially flavored. Only the high end restaurants make their own pure pineapple juice.

Actually what is Suriname? @JeanlucSR
@iamjadeline Suriname is a small country in South America. It's a former Dutch Colony that became independent in 1975. We have a very diverse population due to slavery and migration workers, meaning our cuisine is a mix of Indonesian, Indian, Creole, Chinese and so on 😊

How ironic that is. I do not like pineapple anything so I guess I would not have much luck. Happy Chinese New Year and wishing you much prosperity and good luck. : )

Day 9?? :DFor how many days do these celebrations continue haha :D You're having a huuuuge party over there :D
We celebrate for 15 days. And eat non-stop. Hhaha
I love love love juices. And white the pineapple peiler I got fresh pineapple flesh and juice All in once. Nice freewrite
Yes juice is the best. Thank you Brit 😉
Really?I am curious if this is only for hokkien people because I never heard of bringing pineapple and oranges home can bring more luck to us.
Really? We have this since young. Now you make me realise it is general for Chinese. Ops.... Maybe it is Hokkien because of the "ong lai" but Mandarin and Tangarine should be a CNY belief. I am not sure too, but it has passed to me from my older generation. Oranges = "kam" in Hokkien = gold.
Aww I never heard any of those haha. Same as foochow = "kam"!

Who knows pineapple will bring luck. I always have the sliced and canned ones too. Never felt a bite, only difference of taste.
In Dutch it is called: ananas
Today it is February 14nd over here... so happy Valentine's Day with you beloved ones.

I am so late to reply here. Been in and out during the CNY holiday season and got my time haywired.
Ananas. Amazing because we called it nanas in our national language. :)
Really? I wonder where our word is based on... since pineapple sounds so different

Coincidentally I just and a dish of pineapple during dinner :) my family is used to cook them, still tastes as good as you can expect from a pineapple. That's literally my favourite on the as long as it's there, unless there's broccoli with mushrooms...that will take over it, I guess. 😂
Sometimes they do bite the tongue (well, literally), but it can be solved with some salt most of the times.
Honestly I haven't tried pineapple juice yet, probably should order some when I get the chance in the future, lol. Should be as tasty as the fruits 🤔

Hi @lilacse, sorry for the late reply. I got carried away by time with family and got my time haywired too in Steemit.
Oh, we definitely love it when it comes to cooked pineapple and they are always sweeter after the heat. Yummy!!!
