Pear Pie with Red Wine and Rosemary

It's been a while folks! But we have not forgotten to eat, don't worry. I've tried to give the blog a fresh look for our fresh start, and here is a little something to serve as evidence that we've been cooking: a pie so delicious I made it twice in one month:  Pear Pie with Red Wine and Rosemary - discovered in Bon Appétit this last fall.

The crust technique was a revelation, and the filling was amazing. Seriously let's be honest, reduced red wine is never a bad idea for a dessert, and it's particularly delicious with pears.

This pie helped me survive the winter. 

I love this pie.

CheOWda!

Yesterday I had kind of a rough day, but when I got home THIS was cooking on the stove and filling the apartment with delicious smells:

Jimmy had the day off for Rosh Hashanah, so he was a mommy and made me such a super yummy dinner. He made New England Fish Chowder, served with some nice sourdough... oh my goodness it was so hearty and rich. Here's the recipe he used. They were out of cod and haddock at Whole Foods so he used hake, which is basically the same. It was SO GOOD!!!!
