  tScholars.com | Pineapple Express   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The Pineapple Express is a Pacific Ocean subtropical jet stream that brings warm moist air from Hawaii (where pineapples are grown) to the U.S. West Coast states of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Many Pineapple Express events follow or occur simultaneously with major arctic troughs in the Northwestern United States, often leading to major snowmelt flooding with warm, tropical rains falling on frozen, snow laden ground.
After being drained of their moisture, the tropical air masses reach the Canadian Prairies as a Chinook wind or simply "a Chinook", a term which is also synonymous on the Coast with the Pineapple Express.

Depending on the species, pineapple surfaces may be green, orange, yellow, shiny, dull, and they may be small, large, round, or oval.
Pineapples will not continue to ripen after picking but will instead begin to decay after 4 weeks.
When the pineapple is cut into rounds, this method produces a decorative effect as well as reserving the most fruit.

Pineapple express storms are weather systems that begin in the Hawaiian tropics, bringing along with them an abundance of warm tropical moisture.
If a Pineapple Express storm was to hit the area now, it wouldn't cause a flood, said CSU Stanislaus Professor of Geology Horacio Ferriz.
And even if, months down the line the Sierras are hit with a pineapple express storm, both Turlock homes and drinking water would be safe, Madden said.

The pineapple express taps into tropical moisture near Hawaii and brings that warm moist air to the northwest.
At one time the air we have with us now was near Hawaii and it was much warmer.  During the long trek to the Northwest this air mass was modified by the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean.
The pineapple express not only brings a lot of rain but lasts for several hours, a combination that often leads to widespread flooding in the northwest.

Pineapple with crushed fl peppercorns and vanilla icecream however, is delicious.
The thing about pineapple on pizza is that you can't even pick it off if you don't like it - the taste seeps into the pizza more than any other ingredient (even more than capsicum/peppers - which I also don't like on pizza).
I know this thread is about the pineapple, but people who attack my beloved pineapple and accuse me of being insane for liking it on pizza are going to have to mount a defence of the tomato.

Grated green mango is used throughout Southeast Asia, India and Malaysia to add a tart flavor to dishes, especially in salads, relishes or as pickles.
Some describe mango as a cross between a peach and an apricot, with pineapple undertones, but mango really has its own flavor, which differs considerably among its many varieties and its stages of ripeness.
This evergreen tree, a member of the cashew family, is native to India and Malaysia, unlike the pineapple and other tropical fruits which migrated from South America to Asia.

 For Chocolate Lovers Only: April 2002's Chocolate Chip-Pineapple Upside Down Cakeon StarChefs
Tips: I don’t know why chocolate and pineapple have seemed such an unlikely pair to me in the past; the truth is, they go together very well.
I have also used canned mandarin oranges (both by themselves and in combination with the pineapple rings) with great success here, and I’m sure canned pears or apricot halves would work, too; whatever you use, the fruit must be well-drained (reserve a little of the syrup/juice for the topping).
Place the whole pineapple slice in the center of the pan, then place the 8 half-circles pinwheel-fashion around the whole slice.

However, so far Oregon and Washington have already received roughly triple the normal January rain and snow this winter, because the jetstream hadn't forked yet, and all the storms stayed to the north.
If the first signs of this southerly shift pan out, we'll see the so-called "Pineapple Express" fire up, and begin to dump on California what it's already been dumping on the northwest states.
Like clockwork, every few days, warm, moist air between Hawaii and Alaska will react with cold polar air, form storms, and then be conducted by the south branch of the jetstream to California.
