@twelveeyes You’re 👏 doing 👏 it 👏 right 👏


@charis Have a lovely time!!


@crankymate You found the marathon on SyFy? My Dad and I were watching all day. 😂 They were going in reverse order so you still have the first and best to go!


Folks – you know what this means. Dad’s making a #swineapple on his smoker today and I get to document the entire process! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/8BgE4p2Zos https://t.co/aK27vLtg6W


It has begun! First step is pineapple surgery to remove the core. #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/GfH1BIwOqs


Step 2: weave a bacon lattice. (Has there ever been a more glorious sentence?) #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/F9BOX6FXEx


Step 3: stuff the marinated pork tenderloin into the pineapple. (Technically this is Step 4, but we got overexcited to see if it would fit.) #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/vzG0IBIudc


Step 4 (which should’ve been Step 3): peel the pineapple. #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/moFeqHNDrN


Step 5: attach bacon lattice to #swineapple with plenty of skewers. 🐷🍍 https://t.co/yLC5TnnwA6


Step 6: reattach pineapple top with more skewers and behold the majesty of the prepped #swineapple ! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/08IVQGW31g


… and now we pause to let the prepped #swineapple chill. Come back in a few hour to see the rest of the preparation! 🐷🍍

@crankymate I totally wanted to “ok boomer” your replies though. 😂 (Rodd and I are the very, very tail end of Gen X at 43.)


Phase Two of Project #swineapple begins! First step is to get the smoker going. Note the improvised windbreak because it’s freezing here! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/k2eKszXDsi


LOL. So the windbreak lasted less than 5 min until a gust of wind blew it halfway across the yard. 😂 MacGyvering continues… #swineapple 🐷🍍


Time to start cooking some #swineapple!! (Note that we have one Hero Swineapple, and one that had some Issues.) 😂 Using applewood to smoke. Temperature probes in place! 🐷🍍 https://t.co/GMAseG0S5U


While the #swineapple is cooking, I decided to do some taste testing For Science. 👍 to mint KitKats; 👎 to fake Nutella M&Ms. https://t.co/QiE4TYOqNi


45 min in and we’re at 60F internal temperature. Aiming for 145F… #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/O33AZQcTH7

@crankymate I told him I’m on mission to get him a @FoodNetwork hosting gig. 😂


And they’re off! Now to rest while we finish the rest of the food… #swineapple 🐷🍍 https://t.co/58Mh9bop2J

And here it is! Sliced #swineapple, corn, and Instant Pot baked beans. YUMMO. Meat is cooked perfectly – tender and moist! 🐷🍍 Thanks for following along! https://t.co/C9JPYL5SfE
