Pineapple Nut Plate

Here I am again!

Put this together for a snack last night, as I had a pineapple on hand - got it as part of a holiday gift basket at work, a super nice present from my boss, and so I decided to dig into that pineapple!

Those are indeed macadamia nuts speckled throughout the nut mixture, would have been more Hawaiian had they been all macadamias, but you know, cashews and almonds are good too, so I'm not complaining :P

Aaand what you see on the side there, topping it all off, is my version of a poor-man's pina colada. It involves equal parts Cruzan white rum and Polar toasted-coconut seltzer. And I tossed in a "pineapple straw" since I had the option :P Not a bad snack on a lazy Saturday after a sorta small dinner, perfect for unwinding :)

I may post something again before Christmas, or I may not - depends how creative my snacking gets :P If not, Happy Holidays, blogosphere!
