Anjou Pear

Red Anjous now can be found on grocery produce counters from late September or early October through the spring months.

The best indication of ripeness for any pear is the thumb test: gentle thumb pressure near the stem will yield slightly when the pear is ripe.

Depending on their level of ripeness when purchased, it may take several days before they are ready to eat. The results, however, are well worth the wait. Red Anjous develop a mild, sweet flavor with very smooth texture and abundant juices when ripe.

We are all fakes
Little snowflakes
Raise one other up
Give a sis or bro
2 thumbs up,
Raise an other’s soul
Let go off your
Indispensable control
and remember
the bottomline
is to be, and
to be happy!

I see your reflection on the glass window of night,
The flikering lights, twinkling in your eyes,
Beyond this walls the city is quietly napping,
Just to rise to another pale day of fluffy flakes,
I won't be able to hold on to your image;
My eyelids are giving up,
I'll catch you later,
beyond the borders of this shuttered town ...
