I found a new recipe in a magazine for a Farro salad with a Dijon dressing.
It has cherries in it. I have everything except for the cherries.
Hopefully husband will like it as he loved Martha Stewart's recipe for the
Farro with roasted grapes. Tomorrow should be the end of our heat wave so I
don't plan to cook anything but this.

I found this one yesterday - I'd serve it as a side to chicken or
pork. You could use your pears if the recipe appeals, you could even
substitute farro for the quinoa. She used what she had on hand.

Interesting. Doesn't give the carb count but probably too much for me, as
is the Farro I will be making. And no, it doesn't look even remotely
appealing to me. We don't eat quinoa. Angela is intolerant to it and it
spikes my blood sugar worse than just about anything. I realize that it is
supposed to be good for diabetics but it doesn't work for me. Plus I
wouldn't have most of the other ingredients. We don't do curry. Just don't
care for it.

I don't get the concept of chutney. Perhaps it is because we never ate it
when I was growing up. We actually never had fruit with our meals at home
at all with the exception of breakfast. My mother was overly fond of
putting raisins in oatmeal and some people (never me) ate diet jelly on
toast. She also served us sliced bananas on occasion and very small amounts
of orange juice.

I always assumed that chutney was sort of like chow-chow, fruit butter or
jam. Something that people make because they had excess fruit and needed a
way to use it up.
