the cruelest fruit...

...pears. They are the best of fruits , they are the worst of fruits. You buy them in a rock hard unripe state. You baby them. You place them lovingly in a bowl with a lovely view. You watch them and hope for the best. You pinch them softly to see if they are just soft enough. You decide they are just right and slice them. They will either be the grainiest , least flavorful thing you have ever eaten...or...the most delicious , sweetest , juiciest fruit ever. There is no in between.

I took a chance and purchased this one. I will keep you posted on our journey. We are still at the rock hard stage.

 

Okay. Dinner tonight will be Honey mustard pork chops and grilled corn. I have never cooked corn this way , but Bobby Flay guided me.

 

 

Husks are left on. A few mushrooms sautéed.

 

 

They look good and browned.

Pork chops as usual look great with a tan.

 

 

Leftover communion naan got grilled as well.

 

Sprayed it with olive oil spray and put it directly on the grill.

 

New purchase for our bathroom...new towel rack. The big jar y'all may remember from the Sea Monkey story. My mamaw kept them or guppies in this big ole jar. I put in glass balls from Kalalou. Love that place. Also notice the aluminum tray. That pressed aluminum was all the rage in the early part of the 20th century. I would love to collect more.
