The design of the universe...is very magnificent and shouldn’t be taken for granted. In fact, I believe that is why Einstein had so little use for organized religion... He must have looked at what the preachers said about God and felt that they were blaspheming. He had seen much more majesty then they had ever imagined, and they were just not talking about the real thing. My guess is that he simply felt that religions he’d run across did not have proper respect...for the author of the universe.

INGREDIENTS

10		Pears; peeled, quartered, and tossed with 2 T lemon juice to prevent oxidation
1 1/3	c	Milk
2/3	c	Heavy cream
1	c	Sugar
2/3	c	Flour
4	lg	Eggs
1 1/2	ts	Vanilla
2	tb	Butter
2	tb	Confectioners sugar
		Maple syrup as an accompaniment

INSTRUCTIONS

In a buttered 2-1/2 quart casserole, arrange the pears decoratively. Blend
milk, cream, 2/3 C of the sugar, flour, eggs, and vanilla until batter is
just combined. Pour over the pears; sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 C
sugar, and dot with the butter.
Bake in upper over, 425 degrees, for 50 minutes or until the top is golden
and the pudding is set. Sift confectioners' sugar over it. Serve warm or at
room temperature (but store in .fridge!).
Note: I got this from a magazine years ago; sorry, but I don't know which
one. The oven temperature seems too hot to me; I'd rather bake it longer at
375    degrees in a water bath.
