Ýou know... Pear cobbler is pretty tasty and quick :-) I've heard pear crisp is good, but can't immagine anything would be better than apple, there.
A poltricidal puppy sounds like a nightmare on a farm! Hopefully he'll grow out of it quick. I wonder what he would do on an ostrich farm... mwahahaha
I don't suppose you can create a DIY dehydrator for some extra capacity. It would probably be more work than it's worth. Oh well. Good luck with the canning and dehydrating!
I can make a fruit crisp out of just about anything! Pears do really well. I do a pear/raisin upside down cake that's pretty good. Dang. Now I'm hungry.
I would love to put the little monster on an ostrich farm for a couple of days. Maybe that would scare him straight! That is a hilarious image!
