Pineapple Fried Rice

One of my friends made a stuffed pineapple. Never in my life have I seen a stuffed pineapple. I knew I had to attempt it. I must say to turned out pretty and tasted good.

This the meal you make if you have a friend or family member who looks down on everyone's food. The presentation alone will make them think twice before judging you. If you try it let me know what you think.
