For as long as I’ve lived in these fine united states, I’ve been doing some of my produce shopping at Gentile’s Market. It’s a family owned joint in Newtown Square that’s been there for eons. I used to go there all the time when I worked in Newtown Square. But now, not so much, so I cherish it everey time I go. Absolutely nothing has changed about this place, except that now the cash registers are computers. Otherwise, still the same old Gentile’s. Oh, this fancy sign is fairly new too. See this Frank’s soda machine? Yep, it’s the same one that I got grape soda out of when I was in elementary school. It’s still there. Despite the oldness of some of the items there, their produce is quite fresh and rocks. I’m never disappointed.
I got some jersey white corn and peaches that day. Good golly miss molly they were both good. Sometimes I miss working or living so close to it. For all your produce needs, you need no other. They also have a decent selection of breads, milks and juices, and condiments.

My brother went to Hawaii again, and instead of sending macadamia chocolates like last time, this time he sent us pineapples. I try not to buy whole pineapples, cuz really, it’s kind of a pain in the ass to cut them open and stuff. I mean I don’t honestly remember if I’ve ever actually bought a whole pineapple before that I had to deskin and all, but it just looks kinda annoying. Like way too much work.
So I broke down on Sunday and busted it open. I was roasting and figured that cold pineapple would be just the refreshing thing. After finding some fine directions on the interweb, I managed to cut it up just fine. And I have to admit, it is some damn fine pineapple. Thank you brother of mine!
