Oh hell yeah, this is the thread for me!

If you haven't discovered Soom Tahini, go and buy some right now. Nice and creamy, doesn't harden up the way other tahini brands do and it is a female-owned business.

Schedule all out of whack today, fasting blood test this morning. I had planned on 12 with 6 mile progression but my blood sugar was so far gone that I could only muddle through a half hour easy run this AM. But afternoon I drove to a downtown park and did 8 with 2X 3 mile (@ 6:44 and 6:33 pace).

No issues from my Moderna Covid shot Sunday so took advantage of a nice sunny mid fifties day and got in 4 miles.

Setting this up as a catch-all for various desserts, whether delicious fare at a restaurant or food truck or recipes.Here's the ginger-pear puff pastry tart recipe I mentioned in the sort of Sunday dinner thread.
Adapted from Fork, Knife, Swoon

                         


Ingredients   
                                                                                       
1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 pears, thinly sliced
2 to 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 Tbsp light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp demerara sugar (or coarse sanding sugar)
                                         
Instructions     
                                                                       
Preheat oven to 400F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Place the puff pastry on a clean, lightly-floured work surface.  Using a rolling pin, lightly press the pastry to ~ 10 x 10 inch square.
Gently transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.  Using a sharp-tined fork, lightly poke holes in the puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch border. Avoid completely piercing the pastry.

Peel, core, and slice pears; place slices in a medium sized mixing bowl.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, ginger, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, mixing well. Using a pastry brush, generously brush the top of the puff pastry with the butter mixture.

Pour the remaining butter/sugar/spice mixture over the pear slices and gently mix to thoroughly coat the fruit.

Leaving a 1 inch border, layer/”shingle” the pear slices on top of the puff pastry, alternating directions to create a wave-like pattern.

Sprinkle the pear slices with the demerara sugar.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed around the edges and the pears are tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
