Then I sat down and cried when I thought about NOT looking at tiny shoes strewn across the floor and my kids' feet NOT being so tiny anymore. Makes me appreciate them more!<br><br>Yummy snack, too. We used to eat pears with cottage cheese on them a lot, but I've never tried ice cream.

I really am trying to stop time here some days, but darn it if someone else has other plans!<br><br>There is a great recipe on Everyday Food that is fairly similar, except you microwave steam the pears with brown sugar or honey and then make a sauce from the drippings with vanilla ice cream...yours is much easier! Though, I hope Green & Blacks starts selling ice cream here!Ursulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00565640220239890061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-86211444584741475422008-06-07T13:38:00.000+01:002008-06-07T13:38:00.000+01:00Marie this is absolutely the best post I've re...Marie this is absolutely the best post I've read ever. I have several friends I'll be sending your address to, both those with young children and those in the midst of the empty nest time of their lives. My children are long grown, haven't had one at home in 12 years, but still, once in a while, I miss the sticky fingers and endless questions. Thanks for the memories.
