Mom used to make a pear and cheese salad that I liked a lot. Canned
pears in heavy syrup, arrange each pear half on a leaf or two of
lettuce, top with shredded Velveeta, and drizzle with a dressing of
Miracle Whip, milk, pear juice, and sugar.

I realize that the Miracle Whip and Velveeta will make some people gag,
but it shows Mom's Depression-era roots, and I still like the stuff.
