You are welcome. To boot, the pears and dried plums are first stewed for 15 minutes and the stewing liquid is added to the flour and yeast to form the dough.
Please post your recipe. sounds delicious!

I love using Kraft singles (I use the ones label sharp cheddar) for grilled cheese sandwiches.
I refer to them as wallet cheese... they come in their own wallet.
Hutzelbrot (a sweet fruit bread) can be eaten plain or topped with cream cheesePlease post your recipe. sounds delicious!
That is why when I order iced tea in a restaurant, I always say, "No lemon." I love lemon, just not in my tea.A pet peeve of mine came when the server (at Red Lobster), set down my lobster tail and proceeded to squeeze lemon juice all over it! I don't like lemon on my seafood, especially lobster.
Don't assume everyone uses lemon. Lots of people don't like it.
I'm with Alix on the picky eaters. I know a lot of people who won't even try something because they've never had it before.
Another one is people who automatically salt, or otherwise season, their food without tasting it first. My cousin was visiting us years ago, and he automatically grabbed the salt shaker and liberally shook it all over his corned beef (which he had never tried before).
Dumplings. Here in the states they are different in various regions. For me a dumpling is a biscuit like creation , light and fluffy and sitting atop a lovely meat and veggie stew. I was working as a truck driver and stopped at a truck stop that had an "Amish" restaurant. Chicken and dumplings were on the menu and my mouth just watered at the thought of dumplings so I ordered it. (It's awfully hard to find anything but fast food in truck stops these days.) Imagine my disappointment when what I got was nothing more than chicken noodle soup. Apparently dumplings can also be sort of fat noodles. I know that people from the south especially swear by their dumplings but for me, well, just give me the fat fluffy ones.
I hate it when someone takes a classic dish, substitutes everything or most everything so that the new one has few or none of the ingredients of the original, yet calls it by the name of the classic dish. To me, that's blasphemy! Banana's Foster comes to mind as a recent example.
This happens a lot with the French "Mother Sauces" such as Bechamel or Hollandaise, or popular sauces such as Alfredo sauce.
I was raised with the light fluffy dumplings as well, but I never had chicken and dumplings until a few years ago. In our house, when dumplings were served, it was always cherries and dumplings! When I told my cousin we were having cherries and dumplings one night, he made a face because he thought there was chicken in it.Dumplings. Here in the states they are different in various regions.

Tripe ala mode de Caen smells like a satanic botty cough and tastes like eating 1 yrs old chabichou.
I had to google every phrase in that sentence. I'm still not sure I've got it. I think you're saying that you don't like it, but I could be wrong...
A Satanic botty(bottom) cough is a vicious fart(trouser trumpet) mainly caused by a hot Ruby Murray and 3 pints of Guinness, aged chabichou is a 1 to 2yrs old pastel of goats cheese.I had to google every phrase in that sentence.
