Nenas!

I loved pineapples ever since I had memories. In Malaysia where pineapples were local produce, we could even argue which state the best of these come from. There's even a town named after it - Pekan Nenas, literally "pineapple town". 

In our little home, my brother S and I used to fight over the "hearts" of pineapples, basically the vertical cores which were usually sliced off and discarded. I don't know why S liked it so much but I did because it was not as juicy as the "meaty" part of the fruit, and yet had a nice sweetness to it. And the crunch in the mouth... So what's there not to like for a kid. Pineapple sticks one. Carrot sticks zero.

A recent trip to the groceries shop across the street ended up with a whole batch of cookies. Why finally, the dried pineapple slices are back in stock! I revisited the dried apricots and chocolate chip cookies recipe and replaced the apricots with chopped dried pineapples.

The verdict: the cookies did not scream pineapples but the pale yellows bits certainly made its presence felt.

    briefly

    JL and S grew up in France and Malaysia respectively. They met while living in Singapore, stayed a year in the USA (Cambridge, MA) then the south of France, Malaysia, and are back again in the USA (New York, NY). 

    frenchinos at home is where we share some of our stories with friends, much like the living room, dine-in kitchen, or the timber-deck balcony which we've always wanted to have, which sounds most impossible where we live now. 

    Welcome and we're happy to have you here :)
