Cranberry and pear crisp

Andy and I got a nice box from Harry and David sent to us by Danny and Nancy. We had just finished off a Harry and David box of pears and discovered then that in two days they would all be ripe at once.  Soooo, when the new box arrived I had to come up with a recipe using pears.  I had some orange and cranberry sauce in the fridge that I had just made so I decided to combine the two for a crisp.  I had also just made my granola that Andy and Brooks and Johnna like, so I used some of that for the topping.  It turned out rather nice if you like crisp.

Then I noticed some very large potatoes that needed using and I saw in the fridge the almost empty bag of cheese shards, three different kinds in one bag, that I bought at Sam's.  If you haven't bought that handy, delicious pack, you are missing out.  I am using it on nearly everything that calls for cheese. Any way, I made scalloped potatoes with pancetta and green onions topped with the 3 cheese shards and that too turned out rather pretty and delicious. If you make it, your taste buds will shift with the three blend shards of cheese; wham there's the Asiago. Yum, there's the nutty Parmesan. And, ahhh, yes, the Romano...smooth
 You will taste them all.

I hate it when everyone is on a diet, especially during the holidays.  So I just cook it, eat some, give the rest away.  I am not going to cook around diets.

To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
