Pears, Pies and Packages

Have I mention we have a pear tree in our back garden? I picked a few yesterday, although they are not quite ripe enough yet, as the one I ate gave me heartburn. In a few weeks, they should be ready for the pear and ginger crumble I found.



I baked this beauty for dessert last night. Chocolate and pecan pie. There is still 3/4's left over if you fancy coming over for some tea and pie.



I sent off my final sp8 package and one to my pal for the favorite color swap tonight. I won't be showing the packages in case one of my pals reads my blog, however here instead is a photo of Tuesday lying on top of all the odds and ends of the wrapping used.

ooh! I'll come over for the pie ;) Did you make it yourself? It looks scrumptious.

how come BF's mum, who incidentally is my mum can comment on your blog but not mine???!!! No fair!!!

BTW, I think you've used an image that is too large and knocked your side bar to the bottom. I've done it before and large images are usually the culprit. I use about 300pixel size now which seems ok...

These pears look so tasty! I have to admit, I have a knack for not-really-ripe pears, I love them best that way, but of course always end up feeling pretty sick - oh well, some people never learn :)
Your pie looks absolutely yummy - hmmm... can I come over and have a slice of it? Or all? ;))) Then again, I suppose there's nothing left of it anymore, it must have been too good!

That pie looks incredible!!! I should make some sometime, but then I'd eat it all. ;-)

I have a recipe for spiced pear cake -- I think I got it off allrecipes.com. It's always well received, and a good way to use up those pears!
