Roasted Pear-Maple Syrup Pudding Cake
Just in case its name doesn't say it all, let me tell you how thoroughly delicious this really is. Perfectly pure pear flavor, intensified by quick roasting. The deeply dark version of sweet from pure maple syrup. Big, mouth-filling flavor. Amazingly light but luxurious and rich.

Slower Sunday: And the livin’s easy

Bring your own.
Problem's always how to pack and carry something you'd really like to eat on a plane or in a car. And not make a mess of it. Then I found the Lunch Pot. Same idea as your old lunchbox. Or lunch pail. But much cooler. And neater.
