About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Don't you just love finding treasures like that in the market? Something no one else wants, but you have a perfect reason to buy it? I admit, I get a little self concious at the market when I browse the discounted vegtable table. Its such a big "no-no" in cooking, BUT if you do excatly what you did, used it that day, and poached it- its a wondeful thing. Still... I live in a very expensive neighborhood, but I have a tiny budget. I worry the stay at home mothers with their versace bags feel sorry for me. But, then again, I don't care. I normally buy regular produce not discounted anyway. Ha Ha, sorry for the rant! Wonderful reciepe , I will have to get around to making this osmetime.
Obachan, this looks so delicate, I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks... (I'm sure the almond extract worked well too ;)) I can't wait to try pear recipes, they are everywhere now!
Hooray! Your pears look awesome. I have to tell you, I met a Japanese guest that's staying at the bed and breakfast that I cook for, and she brought me a bag of something called "Corn Chocolate" as a thank you for a cooking lesson that I gave her. Have you ever heard of this stuff? I tasted it, and it's kind of like white-chocolate-covered-popcorn-cereal-stuff. It's pretty good!

Yep, I love it. I wonder what it’s like to live in a very expensive neighborhood, because I’ve never been in one myself. But I guess whatever you feel at the supermarket, you are on top of the world the moment you put a heavenly tasting food – like this poached pears with ice cream – in your mouth, and no one can take away the joy from you! :D

The first photo I saw on your site was the one of 3 poached pears. I still clearly remember the shock I felt when I saw it. It was amazing that peeled pears can look that gorgeous in a photo. I can tell how excited you are about trying pear recipes. Good luck!

Thanks for visiting, and thanks for sharing that recipe! When I was in the States I really loved American pears, and I miss them so much here in Japan. I was happy when they started selling La France here, but looks like it’s the type that needs to be ripened till they turn yellowish. And what’s annoying is sometimes I get ones that are rock-hard even after they turn yellow (and expensive!). But with this recipe, no more fears! ;)
I think I’ve tried the chocolate thing that you mentioned, though I’m not sure how it was called. Yeah, I like it, too.
Bachan, I couldn't help laughing when read about yourself, excited, running home with that half rotten pear ...sorry. The dessert you made looks really yummy. I've never tried pears cooked in such away before...
Hi glutton rabbit,
This was really yummy. I'm so happy that I found this recipe.
