My first Asian Pear

[dalimeindacoconut]

Well, it's a day of first's for me. Also, ate my first asian pear (along with my first persimmon, but at separate meals). The asian pear is DELICIOUS! I loved it's texture akin to an apple and a pear.

What takes us so long to try new things? It's interesting to see what new fruits and veges appear with each new season. It's my first season, wasn't sure if I could do it, but it's working so far.

Do you mix your asian pears with anything else?

Yummm! I love Asian Pears. I have one I bought this weekend, that I plan to enjoy today. For me it's a special treat.

asian pear - banana - green smoothies are yum

asian pear slices and walnuts and red onions in a spinach salad with a creamy tahini dressing is yum

but crunching on a big asian pear half the size of your head and letting the juice drip down your chin is the yummiest of all!

That sounds delish maui hawaii. You and I weigh very close to the same ie: 168.4 ounces (my weights been fluctuating a couple pounds for the last month), but it feels like it's falling off now. The crystal ball says 'I see more asian pears in our future and a surprising asian pear salad or two' ;-)
