I've got this under way. I'm thinking about using some grapefruit in the fruit mixture in addition
to the pineapple. Considered opinions will be welcome. Smartass remarks you can keep to yerself.
What else to accompany it? I bought a package of some BirdsEye vegetable melange at the super this
afternoon. And I've got some fresh broccoli ($1 for a large bunch). And peas, but I don't see them
on the plate. Maybe a green salad, too.
I await your advise.

good. I don¹t think they take all of the second time period to finish baking, though.
