I eagerly followed her and watched as she pulled out a ripe pineapple, a can of coconut milk, and a bottle of rum from her pantry. My curiosity was piqued as she began to chop the pineapple into small chunks and mix it with the creamy coconut milk and a generous splash of rum.

As she stirred the mixture together, the kitchen filled with the sweet scent of tropical fruits and spices. I couldn't wait to taste the finished dish. Marie poured the mixture into a baking dish and popped it into the oven, where it baked to perfection.
