I have 6 huge jicamas and 4 whole pineapples sitting on my kitchen counter mocking me cuz I have NO idea how to use all of them up or store them for future use. I am going to cut 2 of the pineapple and grill the slices this week which leaves me 2 more. And one of the jicamas is going to be a slaw from a recipe I saw on allrecipes.com, which leaves 5 more.
Ideas? Tips? Want some? Help.

Put it upside down in a shopping cart and walk up and down the street. That might get you something "cooking" for later.

My plans are to go to Dave's after he gets home from fishing. We talked about going to the m&g tonight in Ogden. Or we might rent a bunch of movies and not budge from the couch. LOL
I thought you two were going to m&g tonight....

Pineapple can be frozen for a good while, just cut it up and put it on a cookie sheet, once its frozen throw it in a freezer bag and you can pull some out whenever you're making smoothies, sweet n sour chicken, etc. It's also fabulous as a sorbet!!!
Jicama. Hm...google it? lol
Thanks for pineapple tips.
I did look up jicama. Im just afraid it will go bad before I can use it.

Actually, Jicima will last a while in a cool dry storage place. Since it's a root vegetable don't wrap it up, it will spoil quickly that way. It's great to chop up and toss in salad, put in salsa, I also make a slaw with it that takes one large Jicima, peeled and grated; 6 granny smith apples, also peeled and grated; toss with Marzetties slaw dressing; add chopped dates, cilantro and chopped cooked bacon and chopped roasted almonds....delicious

That sounds YUMMY! Think I will have to try this one out. And thanks for the tip to store the jicama. I was wondering how long it would keep if I put it in my root veggie bin.
Just remember cool and dry and you'll be good for a while
Lay the pineapple out after slicing and powder coat it with a paprika, cinnamon , and chili powder (1:1:5 ratio). Freeze and use as a frozen treat or chop up and eat over other treats.
Had to look up jicama, sounds interesting but no idea what to do with it.
