If you need a quick, no-nonsense sandwich filler that still feels a bit indulgent, this one’s a winner. It’s creamy from the avocado, hearty from the eggs and tuna, and the yoghurt keeps everything light and fresh. It’s the kind of mix you make once, taste “just to check,” and suddenly half the bowl is…
In celebration of my 4th Wedding Anniversary, these words were mentioned by Bruce during our Lunch meeting. He said “Somebody once said… what was the reason for a successful marriage and they said two words: Yes, dear.” And I had to agree. To avoid conflict, fights, disagreements and maybe committing a crime or murder, just…
December has arrived — not quietly, but with a soft glow, a fresh breeze, and a handful of stories that remind you why the world feels gentler when we pay attention. This week at The Pineapple, our writers and conversationalists whisk you into kitchens, snowstorms, survival chats, orange-coloured philosophies, and one dramatic mayoral obituary (don’t…
A soft morning, two time zones, one conversation about… people. “We are live… and alive.”With those words, Peeling Potatoes Episode 27 opens—not with drama, nor with cleverness, but with a quiet joy. Frank is finally back home after a whirlwind photographic odyssey in South Korea. Janita is still glowing from the familiar hum of her…

I’ve been reading a lot of running tips, motivational texts as well as following positive people on Instagram. One thing I keep seeing is, all of them mention “Surround yourself with like-minded people”. Start a new hobby, go to the gym or do something you always wanted to try, sooner rather than later you will…
Today, we gather—not in sadness, but in dramatic, over-the-top theatrical flair—to announce the temporary demise of our beloved Mayor’s energy, brain cells, and sense of direction. After bravely traveling to Seoul, South Korea, where he walked 47 kilometres (give or take… 40), ate enough food to feed a small village, and took photos of literally…
There’s a moment, somewhere between a caravan breaking down on a country road and the electricity disappearing in the middle of cooking dinner, when your heart wants to sprint and your brain wants to shut down. That exact moment is where our “swimming club” found itself—not in a forest, not in the ocean, but in…
