Kathleen,

Everything looks yummy! I think that red pear stacked salad would be a great holiday salad! I did a little search and found some info on the Starkrimson Pear. It says that it goes well with blue cheese, so this would be perfect!

"A variety of pear that has a crispy, less grainy textured flesh, which is covered by a bright red outer skin. With a slight banana flavor, this pear has a tart tasting flesh that goes well with blue cheese."

Well, I'd love one of everything, but, seriously, ...

Hi Kathleen~~~

I came by to see if you had an apple recipe and look what I find!! I know how it is trying to find pears here in the winter...we used to get gifts of fruits from Oregon...apples, pears, oranges and they are not that expensive. I can't remember the name of the website (this is helpful, isn't it?!!!), but if you Google Oregon Apples, I am sure you will find some reasonable websites with all sorts of apples and pears. They are really known for their orchards.

I am planning to use up my apples today or tomorrow. Have a wonderful day!

That red pear (never even seen a red pear!) looks delicious and yes, would be so great for Christmas!
The suspense is killing us...what's in the cart?

I always try to answer your questions via email......

2009-10-31T15:14:16.046-07:00

I always try to answer your questions via email...who remembers to come back and look for an answer???..I don't!

And Blogging for Bliss says to do it via email for that reason..and I ALWAYS do as I am told..:)

Just wanted to say, it is not messy at all. The pear is very soft, and you can just cut into it and eat it.
DH didn't have any trouble with it either..

Sorry to be late arriving. This is a fantastic table. The pear salads such a creative presentation. And to top it you switched to a red pepper. I'm going to try these. Are they difficult to cut and eat?
I have the same napkins. Love them!

Love the red pear stacked salad....is it sloppy to eat...at first I assumed it was a baked pear which would make it softer then a fresh pear...but I love the combination of the spinach and your other ingrediants....Pat's idea of using diluted food coloring should work wouldn't you think.....

2009-10-30T22:08:30.433-07:00

Crustless quiche..you crack me up. It does seem to matter what you call things though.I try that kind of trickiness from time to time. I think the red pears are genius! They are perfect for Christmas. Are those white cabbages below???? :-) Thanks for joining me for the flashback!

I love the pear salad idea...I'm going to do that. It is beautiful. We would like the calzoney thingys...have to try those too.

Kathleen, I just love your recipe ideas! I added you to my sidebar "blogs that I love" :-)
The pear salad is so pretty! What about taking a regular pear and dipped it in diluted red food coloring after peeling it, so that you could have year round red pears?

2009-10-30T11:28:13.108-07:00

My husband decides with his mouth and so far there isn't much that doesn't pass the test. No caraway and very little ginger. Quiche? Absolutely.
Your pear salad is brilliant and so simple.
We shall call it Brimple or maybe simpliant.

Calziche - LOL! Great cover for the getting the hubby to eat it ;)

What a great idea to use red pears - I hope you can find them for the holidays (I'll be looking too!).

I love the "calziche" name. I also love the way you got your husband to eat them. Must admit I've used the same trick. This was so very creative. They look delicious! Nancy

This all looks wonderful but that stacked pear salad is out of this world. I'm thinking how pretty it would look on a holiday table. I hope you are having a great Foodie Friday.

Kathleen, the quiche-calzones look and sound delicious ... great choice of ingredients. I've always liked your stacked pear salads, but the red pear takes it to a different level. Yes, definitely a Christmas-y looking dish, very festive. Everything looks fabulous, and I'm looking forward to the reveal on Merchandise Monday.

2009-10-30T06:24:01.095-07:00

Hi Kathleen. I can't wait to see what's in that cart. And I can't wait to try your crustless calzones. I cook for one most of the time and am always looking for single size portions that freeze well. I'll give it a try.

Thanks, and Happy Halloween
