A few days ago my colleagues and I were discussing the topic of dreams during lunch. One colleague has dreams about big tsunami like waves on a regular basis, where another told us that, when in high school, he often dreamed about arriving at school in nothing but his underwear. I on the other hand rarely have a recollection of my dreams. However, the best story came from one of my colleagues whom told us about a unique childhood dream.
She once dreamed about a field trip at elementary school where she and her classmates were not involved in a water balloon battle, but in a battle where everyone was throwing with pears.. not just pears though, but peeled pears. She had everyone, including herself, laughing tears. This biggest, unsolved, question that rose was whether or not you'd have to peel the pear first, before throwing, or that they were just peeled.. like that. We'll never know and all agreed that the mind is as funny as it is brilliant!
But since it is pear season the funny story did inspire me to bake a pear pie. I find that pears and chocolate are an excellent combination and therefore covered the pastry with homemade chocolate, almond butter, pears and creme alsacienne. Delisch!
Invite your friends over for tea and pie after a walk through the beautiful forest. Got to love the Fall colors.
Let me know what you think of the recipe.
