BEWITCHING BRIOCHE


Ever since I read Carole Walter's recipe for Brioche Buns with Dried Pears and Camembert I couldn't get the combination of creamy Camembert, toasted walnuts and candied pears infused with orange and cardamom out of my head.   I think about it everyday but I cannot make it - I haven't got dry pears! 


In our local supermarket there is abundance of dried mango, pineapple, banana, cranberries and once I even came across dried kiwi fruit but no dried pears!  I looked in all the local supermarkets but no avail.  I became obsessed with my search.  I went into depression.  My world stopped spinning. No, nothing else could substitute. Downright silly, I know. 

Then in July, my coworkers Soph and Venna headed to Sydney for work.  I begged them for a packet of dried pears.  Finally, I can make Dried Pears and Camembert Loaves. 




I think I've done those dried pears justice.

Hi Maki, I loved it but would add more Camembert next time!

不求圆满

人生一定不要太追求圆满  人旺财不旺 财旺人不旺  人财两旺寿不长  所以人生最好的状态就是求缺不求全  而且求全一定要加上委屈这两个字  因为委屈才能求全  所以福不可享尽 留三分给子孙  利不可占尽 舍三分给别人  功不可贪尽 让三分给他人  这也就是所谓的自古人生最忌满  ...
