Hi, This looks so good-I would have to switch to gluten free flour but may just have to try it. I'm with you about sunshine vs snow-we are due for a huge storm and I'd be just as happy without it.
Also loved the Wisteria tea room-what a beautiful place for lunch and tea. In a few weeks, I'll be in Carmel Ca. so maybe can find one there.
Have a great evening.

The pear bread sounds very nice. We are fond of pears. I make pear sauce like apple sauce and pear sauce for topping. Now I have a new recipe, thank you.
Ummm...can we see more of that beautiful porcelain?
That sounds yummy, thanks!!
Thanks! I made this this morning using Sicilian pears (grown in USA)--next time I'll remember to smoosh it out to the edges of the pan and will cook it for less time. Tastes and looks lovely, nevertheless!
I've been taking pieces of this to my assistant all week. She just loves it. (It's all gone now.)
