Grilled pears

Over a decade ago at a restaurant in Berkeley, I enjoyed a salad topped with grilled pears and prosciutto-wrapped prawns. I've incorporated the prawns (wrapped in a tiny piece of prosciutto each, then skewered and grilled) into my meals many times since then, but only just the other day got around to the grilled pears. I served them with Lamb Chopper cheese and drizzled with balsamic vinegar.


Here we have a slightly overcooked leek quiche. The leek had been languishing in the produce drawer of the fridge since before we went to California for the wedding.


Rounded out by a simple salad with crunchy greens.


Here we have the girls lounging around the living room.
