pears

I'm a huge fan of freeze dried fruit. I like adding it to salads, low calorie cereal, steel-cut oatmeal, almond milk, low calorie trail-mix, fage yogurt, or any other food than needs some added crunch or flavor. I've already blogged about a couple of dried fruits, namely Funky Monkey and Sensible foods, and today I thought I'd blog about another personal favorite called Crispy Green.There are a fe

Good Morning,I still have pears from the Kieffer pear trees.Since I had so many pears this year I decided to try pear sauce. You know, like applesauce except with pears. I am here to tell you that stuff is good. I don't know why I haven't made it before. Plus it is easy to make.I have 14 quarts put up so far. I decided to freeze them, but I may still can a few quarts before all the pears get gone.

I know that fall is here because of the light. It's really becoming wonderfully dramatic in the studio after noon. I took a photo of Tallulah yesterday afternoon in similar light and can almost see her by Vermeer. These two pears served as models for this morning's drawing class. You can see the quick studies I made during class for demos at Studies and Sketches.Come see my watercolors at Land

Apples: 1 - Pears: 0Another example of 'how long's that been going on?' science, once again courtesy of the BBC website. And even though the science that gets the most publicity these days is the kind that tackles big issues and fundamental problems, like climate change, fighting diseases and the origins of the universe, it's very reassuring to know that there are still people out there tackling t

I think this meal is going to become my new go-to dinner for guests. For a while, anytime we had anyone new over, we served this steak. Sure, that goat-cheese topped filet was awesome, but this lamb, lentil and pear dish wins. Dave and I had this for dinner and had enough leftover for lunch the next day. I'd even considered ways to finagle Dave's lunch helping away from him so I could have it all

I always decorate my table top with seasonal inspirations, but fall is always difficult because I can't stand the cornucopia/squash/turkey theme. As a result, I tend to let summer linger into winter, and for the week that I deem fall (which, honestly, doesn't really exist in Houston), I put out some mustard and rust plates that I picked up years ago at Z Gallerie. These brightly colored pears by

A couple month's ago we were out shopping on the weekend and decided to grab a bite before heading home. We opted for a small local chain called Straits Restaurant which offers modern Singaporean cuisine. Although the restaurant is not as highly acclaimed as it once was, the restaurant offers a few interesting bites. I wanted something light and ordered the banana blossom salad for the

Fall in the Algarve is a medley of sunny days, cool evenings and chestnut roasting vendors with billowing clouds of smoke that tempt from afar. Fortunately the chestnut roasters haven’t come out yet, and my compulsion to hunt them down is still a few weeks away. Although I really really like summer, fall is one of my favorite times of year: roasted chestnuts awaiting me at every corner and all the comfort foods ahead makes saying goodbye to summer a bit more bearable. Roasts, lots of baked everything, fire in your chest drinks like Aguardente, Muscatel and Setubles, and let’s not forget the Ports! Ahhh fall here I come… I don’t think there’s a better way to usher in fall than with our spiced up Rocha Pears, now in season. I’ve always been challenged by pears mostly because I haven’t’ come across a lot of great pear recipes. So this year I decided to take these sexy shaped vixens and have my way with them. The result: caramelized, drunken and sided up with some Dulce de

This painting is part II of my fruit still life series that I started. These panitings are looser in style and really focuses on the texture of still life. These five pears are very much unique in color and shape from each pear partner. Click Here to Bid

This painting was a little different than some of my recent work. My interest here was to capture the texture of the fruit and the interesting surface that stands behind it. The painting really stands out as a strong composition with the various surfaces playing off each other. Please enjoy.Click Here to Bid

This painting of three pears in a basket was inspired when the other my wife brought home some fantastic pears. I took them outside and situated them in the sunlight and began to sketch them. I really enjoy the cool greens against the warm tones with the strong bluish shadows.Click Here to Bid

Last week was almost all about white wine for me. One that I didn’t get to writing about was the 2004 Hiedler Gruner Veltliner. I had the 2005 at The Slanted Door several months ago.) The older vintage definitely seemed rounder than what I recalled the other being, though there were still citrus and herbal notes, along with pepper and apple. I was actually scared the wine might have been cooked, as there appeared to be a bit of leakage and a quick sniff before uncorking was dangerously akin to Madeira. However, those fears were put aside once open. With two pears (1 Anjou, 1 Bartlett) needing to be used, I decided to make a salad. Without any Gorgonzola in the fridge, I opted for a sherry dijon vinaigrette tossed with romaine lettuce, sliced pears, shaved parmasan, and crumbled walnuts. The pairing was exactly what I wanted. The pepper in the wine stood up to the dressing’s high kick, and the round, fruity flavors made eyes with the juicy pears. The only thing that woul
