You remember my story about the importance of buying British pears and waiting for them to fully ripen? Well, today is that day! Oh give thanks for the beautiful, succulence of the Comice Pear, may it continue to provide pleasure for many lifetimes to come. It’s been sitting there, slowly mellowing, slowly softening and sweetening until the moment pf perfect ripeness.

Drip, drip, drip, trickle, trickle, trickle as its juice slips between my fingers and along my arm. Yum.

I've been sooooooo patient and now I get my reward.
