I have to confess that I have really lost my blogging mojo lately, so regular readers I do hope you will forgive me.   I just don't have the mental energy when I get home from work so m y blogging is likely to be weekly, I hope you will stick around.  I share with you a recipe for an Easy Pear and Cinnamon Loaf adapted from A Girl Called Jack by Jack Monroe.  I flicked through the cookbook to see if it had a  recipe for pears as I had a load that were beginning to go really soft.  I could not find a pear recipe int he cookbook but noted that I could adapt the Apple and Cinnamon Loaf.  Although my layering of the sliced pears on top is quite amateurish, the loaf actually turned out to be rather nice, .  I also made  Jack Monroe's Carrot, Cumin and Kidney Bean Burgers (so no pictures)   I am not going to write up the Easy Pear and Cinnamon Loaf recipe here, as you can find Jack Monroe's original Apple and Cinnamon recipe...

So hello November and to warm delicious Cinnamon Pear cake.   And it really was delicious.   The pears in this cake came from the garden.  Its the first year we have ever had pears from the tree. In fact its been a good year with cooking apples too.   I wanted to present the pears standing upright like a crown - see this chocolate pear crown cake - but the pears did not want to play along.  I still think this cake looks pretty stellar.  For the recipe, please follow this Cinnamon Plum Cake and just replace the plums with pears.
