Clap your hands for clafouti!

I'm baking pear clafouti for our house meeting. It's in the oven now and will be about 5 minutes late for our meeting, which starts at 10. I've only made it with cherries before, but Trader Joe's was out of their yummy cherries. Per the expert's suggestion (my mom), I'm using d'anjou pears... on vera, n'est-ce pas?

This is my baking bag. It's filled with staples: flour, sugar, vanilla. Without zooming in to see the logo on the bag, I'm hoping that you can guess what store it comes from. Red handles.... there's only one.

When the clafouti comes out, I'll post another picture and give a little review. I always love some tart fruit to balance out the sweetness of the pancake-y goodness, so I'm hoping that the pear will still be delicious.

I took a bath this evening since it's pretty cold out and I have a cold (boo), but as soon as I was about to settle in, the light in the tub room went out, à la horror movie. Luckily, nothing bad happened. I got my lamp from my room and read the New Yorker, specifically an article where a journalist talked to a Michelin reviewer in New York. That was really really cool. I'd love to be a Michelin reviewer. Anyway, I hopped out when it became a bit too sauna-y for me.

It rained again today :) It was so loud early this morning that it woke me up.

Sigh, eyes are tired. Want bedtime kthx.

Update @10:46pm:

My clafouti! It came out in three petit dishes, and it was very yum. I loove when they look all puffy and perfect when they first come out of the oven. They sink a bit, but they still taste so fab. I definitely like it better when the fruit is more intense (cherries, apricots and the like) since it sticks out more flavor- and texture-wise from the clafouti itself. The recipe I use describes it as a pancake or a flan, and this is a perfect mix between the two. Flan-like because it's eggy and sweet, pancake-y because it's got flour in it to give it that consistency.

EDIT @11:31am: My dad called and let me know that I made an egregious error... He was the one to suggest pear, not my mom. Oops!
