I had a dream once about pumpkin waffles with cream cheese with chocolate shavings... it was the night before Thanksgiving, so we even had the ingredients. I made it the next morning and it was DIVINE.

But kudos to you for sharing with us the reality of our kitchen experiments. Sometimes recipes work, and sometimes they just don't.

I think it is interesting how much cooking something can change the flavors and textures. Apparently things that go together when they are raw, don't always work when cooked! Thanks for sharing.

It's too easy to look at bloggers that make amazing food all the time and think they never make something that isn't perfect :D My most recent failure is some crackers I made yesterday. I didn't roll them nearly enough and they really dry your mouth out when you eat them.

While I agree that this combo probably isn't the most appetising, I do think your dish would work very nicely with some nuts (perhaps almonds or pine nuts?) or even chickpeas instead of the pear. As for the baby spinach and pear salad with sharp cheese and walnuts - one of my favourites!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118684722951610690.post-26297056865041814892011-04-28T11:57:30.939-04:002011-04-28T11:57:30.939-04:00@Sandra, Thank you!
