It took me a while before I had the time to read your post Katie, because I wanted to take my time. I had a feeling this is not a post to be rushed with and I was right. I also knew from your email about the sad family circumstances, but I was hopping you would have a a lovely time despite of that.
Well, now I am very happy to know that you had more than a lovely time. You had a very special experience that you will cherish forever. Aside from that, I enjoyed reading about the pear picking and the fascinating technique, lol. By the way, I had no idea pear trees can be so tall. I love pears and I would love to have some of these. I was actually given some couple of years ago that looked just like this. But this year I will be buying pears in the supermarket for sure. I always buy Bartlett pears by basket when they are in season.
Anyway, I guess you will be making some pear goodies, so I will look forward to that 🍐😍🍐
I appreciate you taking the time to read this! I was hoping I would do justice to the beauty of such a simple, yet very poignant experience. Time really is the best gift, isn't it?
I made a pear crumble on Tuesday, but it wasn't anything too fancy. Delicious, though! Now if only the weather here would cool down a bit so I can really enjoy getting into fall cooking! 😉
You are most welcome Katie! I totally agree, these are the most precious moments. I had similar experience when my sister was here and it will be even more intense next year while I will be visiting her. She has garden also, so maybe that's why I could relate to your experience on a deeper level, because I keep imaging us doing stuff in the kitchen and garden 😍
Pear crumble sounds amazing! YUM!!! The weather here is cooling down, but I still don't feel ready for autumn meals, nevertheless I have to start soon too, lol.
