I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
For Christmas one of my wife's dear relatives gave us a box of 12 pears from Harry and David's, a high end pear company from here in Oregon, just a few hours south. Of course, the holidays have been busy, and we did not open this box until today. The pears are very ripe, and I don't know if they will last past tomorrow. They aren't rotten yet by any stretch, but since they are super ripe and nice expensive produce that we would not normally buy, I want to use as many as possible today and tomorrow. I figure we will all have pear and cottage cheese for an easy breakfast, but I am looking to goons for inspiration on the rest of it. I feel like this is also an opportunity to experiment a little with a nice ingredient.

I am not a professional gourmet cook, but I do most of the cooking around our house ever since my wife decided she was done being a stay at home mom and she was done cooking along with that. The only idea I have so far is to sauté some pear slices in butter and add cinnamon, and then top that with mascarpone. Is this a bad idea? Do you have suggestions improve it? Any other pear recommendations? Thanks in advance to any goons with spoons who can contribute. Feel free to share any other fruit based dishes you like!

Put them up your butt, op.

I guess they sort of have a flared base, but if you push them in very far at all you are taking the knot and just lose a delicious pear up your rear end. Very unappetizing.
