Milk and cake

13. If you are a woman, how do you feel about your breasts?
There's a joke that says..My wife used to have great breasts, now she only has the sacks they came in.
And there you have it.

14. Were you breastfed?  No.
*How do you feel when you watch a child being breastfed?
I could never do it myself, the thought of it curled my toes.  But both of my daughters breast fed their children and it didn't bother me a bit. They were discreet about it, not like that woman at our Public Library who whipped out her boob in front of a room full of four year olds and latched junior on. I get it that it's natural and all that rot, but it disturbed me to see her breast feed right there in front of a room full of kids and strangers.

15. Do you enjoy sweets?
Yes. Cake is my downfall. I love it. I also love dark chocolate, Cherry Crumble with whipped cream and an Apple/Pear Crisp that I make and serve warm with vanilla ice cream. (recipe below)



16. How is your digestion? 
Getting crankier the older that I get. Dairy is hard to tolerate as is any kind of fast food.

17. What makes you nauseated?
Watching boxing or seeing any kind of physical fighting, animal cruelty, the smell of garbage cans in the hot summer sun, being spun around or being on any carnival rides, even swinging on a swing set makes me dizzy and nauseated.

*What makes you vomit?
Too much alcohol or the stomach flu

Happy Sunday!

**addendum for the recipe below-
I use Gala Apples and Bartlett Pears for this dish and I don't wait for it to cool too much before we eat it.  It's lovely when topped with vanilla ice cream and served warm. Let me know if you try it.

Easy Apple and pear Crisp by Chowhound

• 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 medium Gala apple, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 2 medium Bosc pears, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into small pieces, plus more for coating the dish

1. 1Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Lightly coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter.
2. 2Combine the apples, pears, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl and toss to coat the fruit. Place the mixture in the prepared baking dish and set aside.
3. 3Using the same bowl as for mixing the fruit, mix together the brown sugar, oats, flour, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt until evenly combined. With your fingertips, blend in the butter pieces until small clumps form and the butter is well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
4. 4Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples and pears and bake until the streusel is crispy and the fruit is tender, about 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
