With the open bottle of red wine from my Stuffed Pork and a few pears in my fruit bowl ripening too fast, I decided to make some red wine-poached pears! Once poached, I sliced them up and added the liquid back as I refrigerated them until I was ready to get drunk, err, I mean consume. I served up some slices with greek yogurt sweetened with a little bit of agave and topped with a little wheat germ for a delicious dessert! I tried to get all artsy, but apparently from the lack of good photos I failed :)
Last but not least, I feel honored to mention a giveaway from one of my favorite bloggers, Ricki! (think chocolate pate, of late) Go visit her at Diet, Dessert and Dogs... ESPECIALLY if you live in the toronto area :)

GORGEOUS pear dessert!!
I have had that shrimp recipe saved for a while. I will have to try it. The pears sound good too.
Oh my I want a pear now!
I love Elie! The shrimp looks really good. Thanks for the heads up on the giveaway
That looks delicious. I have some ripe pears in my fruit bowl too...I'll check out that recipe.
i love poaching pears. it's such a delicious dessert. the shrimp sound lovely, too!
This looks delicious - I've never made poached pears before, will have to give it a try!
At first, I thought you'd cooked shrimp and pears TOGETHER! Whew. They both look great (individually, of course). Thanks so much for the shout-out! And good luck in the contest. :) :)
Sounds fabulous. I love poached pear too. I think it's one of my favorite dessert. Next time I should try to poached it with red wine. Delicious.
Cheers,
Elra
Heavenly dessert...can I get get drunk too? :)
Shrimp always pairs well with tomatoes. YUM!
wine poached pears? that's so creative. girl, you need to write a cookbook!!
how are things with you my love?
LOVE Ellie!! I have her cookbook and really need to use it more...she has the best recipes and cooking techniques, I also DVR her whenever I can :)
That is a tasty way to enjoy some shrimp.
Haha, that title scared me a little... glad to hear you didn't combine shrimp and pears! I actually saw the show when Ellie made those poached pears and they looked great!
The poached pear dessert looks wonderful! Love the shrimp recipe too. I am wondering now about how shrimp and pear would taste together - it could be interesting :)
What a beautiful dessert!!! The baked shrimp sounds good too!

delicious!!!!! can almost taste these!! shrimp are one of my most favourite foods ever :D
Oh that's a good combo with the pears. You didn't say how it tasted, but I am assuming it was a good one.
I saw that recipe for the shrimp too, and just wanted to pass on it, so maybe it's a good thing I did.
interesting recipe for the shrimp, it looks real delish! :D
I could use a glass of wine right now ;-)
The pears are so delicious this year! I'm thrilled by them. A pear is such a tease--you buy it at the market and then you have to wait a week until they are actually ripe enough to eat. Luckily I have oranges to tide me over in between pears.
I love, love, loooooove poached pears! I don't know why they aren't more popular as a dessert. And red wine makes them such a lovely color, doesn't it?
That shrimp with feta dish sounds good and those pears...mmm...
