I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Or in this case, turn down a gift of fresh pears from a friend who, yes, grows her own pears -- especially in the fall, when I love to bake fruit crisps, crumbles and tarts.

Apparently, you can have your baked potato and your crisps and eat them as one. Saturday, September 7, 2019
