Bosc Pears

Hello Ladies,

This is my little pear tree I planted about 10 years ago. It never yielded anything til this year and I discovered they are the Bosc variety. They are bug resistant and weather proof and I'm enjoying them very much.

The new issue of Victoria Magazine has a recipe for Pear Frangipane that I'd like to try, which particularly calls for Bosc pears. They are a very good cooking pear, while the Bartlett variety is a better eating pear.  I found out people like to poach them too, which I will also attempt.

The recipe is here.

How to tell if Bosc pears are ripe.

Ladies I love you all so much. Thank you for your viewership and your friendship, your emails and your contributions on paypal. I wanted some of you to know I took note of the sale ad at Hob-Lob online and found out about the 99c pattern sales, and have gone there during their sale week. 

Please make up your mind to be happy today and have a lovely day. You have enough personal bad news without tuning in to the manufactured broadcasted news. I dont allow it in my home and I have for years put up with comments about the ostrich burying its head in the sand. They do not understand what the ostrich is really doing. He's looking beneath the surface for food and listening for danger. An ostrich can hear better the vibrations on the top of the soil when he lays his head on the ground, but he is certainly not just sticking his head in the sand to keep from hearing and seeing everything.

Besides that, so far,  there has not been any solution for the bad news. No one can find a way to do anything about the things they hear, except maybe shelling out more money to things that never get fixed.

This is of interest to me, since I'm living on farmland. The surface of the land always indicates the nutritional condition or what is going on beneath it. You have probably heard the expression "if you keep your ear to the ground..."
