The other day, I received these HUGE pears called "Niitaka". If I'm not mistaken, these grow on the island of Shikoku in Kochi prefecture. I cut this one in half for our breakfast the other day. It is very crunchy and juicy. Thank you, Kazumi.
Before my foodie adventure the other day, I made some lavender scones for my breakfast on the train. I had bought this packaged mix from Alii Kula Lavender when I was home this past April. This mix is so easy and fast, just add the water amount on the package and bake. Delicious!Well, this week will be a short one, hope you are having a good one.
I have not heard of these pears.....And they do look rather large and juicy! Happy adventures and cooking!

That nashi looks lovely. I used to make tarts out of those.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteHow did your tarts used to turn out when you used the nashi? I'm thinking these would be kind of liquidy.
Take care.

Mmmm those pears are enormous! And turned into scones I'm sure they were great
ReplyDeleteOh no, Brilynn,
ReplyDeleteThese pears were eaten as is. The scones were made from lavender.
Take care.
