The reason why the Ciabatta is getting so soggy and crumbly is that there
are huge holes in it! As I was separating one roll, my thumb went right
through it. The hole was that big. Apparently there was only a thin layer
of bread at the top and bottom of the top piece. So I don't think I'll be
buying this kind again.

The pears were indeed Forelles. Costco was out of them but the sign was
still up. I bought some Anjous today.
