  • Hi! Thanks for your thoughtful reply; some people were, shall we say, off the hook! Regrettably, I pretty much squandered my youth, and at the age of 57 I find myself way overweight and dealing with all sorts of health problems from kidney stones to parathyroid disease to celiac disease to depression to blah blah blah.

  • Dear Au Pear (get it?) Try this, if you have a food dryer... 1.) Wash fruit with luke-warm soapy water. 2.) With an apple corer, core the pear. 3.)
