She's Got Quite a Pear
Thanks to the miracles of modern science, effective storage methods and swift modes of transport, pears are no longer only available in fall and winter. They are a serve ‘em up friendly - year round - summer, spring, winter and fall - fruit.
There are 5,000 varieties of pears grown worldwide, almost 1,000 varieties grown in the U.S., but we most likely encounter only six or seven commercially grown pears.
Eighty-four percent of our pears are grown in Oregon and Washington. The combination of the volcanic soil and clean mountain water, coupled with the warm days and cool nights of spring and summer in the Pacific Northwest make this region the ideal growing environment.
Bartletts are green-speckled and smooth-skinned. They turn yellow as they ripen. Bartletts are good to just eat and/or to bake. .
Bosc pears are brown-skinned and have distinctive, long, tapering necks and fat bottoms. They're sweet, aromatic and are recommended for eating, baking and poaching.
Comice and Seckel pears are harder to come by but worth the effort. The French refer to the Comice as the Queen of Pears - need I say more! She is large, roundish, covered in a thick yellow-green skin with patches of russet. Some consider her the best eating variety. Seckels are small and brown-skinned, with a faint red blush and are generally a cooking pear.
Anjou pears are egg-shaped and their skins are a greenish-yellow color freckled with brown spots. Anjous are great for eating and cooking, and generally available until June.
Pears are loaded with Vitamin C, a good source of the B-complex vitamins, potassium, phosphorous, iodine, and dietary fiber, and a good-sized pear is a bargain at 100 calories. Pears contain about 16 percent carbohydrate and negligible amounts of fat and protein.
Their skin, a delicious source of fiber, provides 5.1 grams or 20% of the recommended daily fiber value. And the skin is rich with phytonutrients.
Did you know that pears are unique in that they best ripen best off the tree? (This was news to me. I’m always squeezing fruit at the market, looking for the ripe ones!) Pears should be ripened after purchase.
Pears (with the exception of Bartlett) do not change color as they ripen. The best way to know if these pears are ripe is to apply gentle pressure to the stem end of the pear with your thumb (a.k.a. the neck). If it yields a bit, it’s ready to eat.
So, if you’re sitting with a bunch of hard pears, put them in a paper bag or covered fruit bowl. Leave at room temperature. Check their ‘necks’ every day. When they yield to the touch, they’re ready.
Once, ripened, if you want to store your pears, put them in your fridge. They should stay fresh for 3 to 5 days.
What do you do with your pears? Write OLofWL!

Righteous Recipe
Grilled Pears
Ingredients: 4 pears * 1/4 cup light brown sugar * 1 teaspoon nutmeg * 1 teaspoon cinnamon * 2 teaspoons butter * 1/3 cup water
Instructions: Peel pears and cut in half lengthwise; remove core - set aside. * In large skillet - over low to medium flame - combine butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar. * Drizzle water as it mixes. * When it covers the bottom of the pan, place pears, cut side down. * Grill until pears are tender - about 10 minutes or so.
Note: When cooking pears, it's best to remove the skin - even though they are loaded with vitamins - because the skin tends to get tough during the cooking process.

Dear OLofWL ~ Loved last week's Brussels Sprouts KICK. Here's a tip ... par-boil some brussels sprouts and then sauté with balsamic vinega. As the balsamic reduces it becomes thick and sweet and taste fabulous. ~ Randi

Chewing the Fat
Dear OLofWL ~ I studied your teachings in the weeks before I began my journey to find my body again. Since then I have lost 27.5 pounds! I knew (and my family did too) when I cleared our entire kitchen of any and all things unhealthy. There was enough food to fill 6 grocery bags; more than I buy at the store each week. I had already begun to feel lighter internally and felt better knowing that someone else was going to enjoy that food more than I. There was no turning back from that point on. I still get cravings for something deep fried and golden every now and again, but with the fat melting off me (and affirmations everyday) it's easier to see what works and what doesn't. You blessed my life at just the right time, and for that I am grateful. Keep spreading the word, and I will too! ~ Miss Megan, Idaho
Dear Miss Megan ~ Congratulations! Your journey sounds amazing. It is a bold move, indeed, to fill 6 grocery bags and give it away. Bold, courageous and admirable. You blessed me by sending this email. Thank YOU! ~ OLofWL

Dear OLofWL ~ I am going to be 62 on November 28! I am 5 ft. 4 in. I was badly overweight myentire life, but I know weight in 136! I am literally a new person. AND ... I like this new person.
I had a full hip replacement - but no worries. I had a drop dead hunk o' handsome ortho surgeon and post-op check ups were pure bless. Plus, I faithfully did all of my post op exercises, and I now walk 3.5 butt killer miles EVERY EVERY day....yes, even in driving rain and sleety snow!
I do have a question. Have you ever heard the statement "each time you choose a better food be it the kind or the correct portion, that better choices behavior becomes easier." I cannot connect with it. Is there anyone on the JANICE site who can get my brain wrapped around that statement so it works for me? Thanks. ~ Ruth A.
Dear Ruth ~ You are a colorful character, indeed! Love your doctor story. Cute if fun! As for the saying, I believe it means that the more often you make healthy choices, the more automatic it becomes. If anyone else has something to say about that saying, please say so now! Write me. ~ OLofWL

The Cuddle Sutra: An Unabashed Celebration of the Ultimate Intimacy is quite possibly the most adorable gift book ever. I just ordered six ($8.58 on amazon) – for all the cute cuddly couples in my family.
And guess what “Tushettes,” cuddling can help you to lose weight. True!!!
For a great Tush Kickin’ cuddly workout, I invite you to first do the “Melting Butter” cuddle pose, followed by the “Cherry Popsicles” pose and then the ultimate end to your exercise program “The Layer Cake.” YUM! I’ll have seconds.

Janice's wise words and insightful perceptions helped to keep me focused as I learned to integrate the changes (and challenges) I have taken on in my new way of eating. With her support, I no longer live in fear of everything spiraling out of control. To date, I have permanently removed 22 lbs. (20 more to go), and I am feeling so much more grounded and centered in my life. I know I will make it! ~ S.A.
Janice's honesty, compassion, professionalism and sincerity to help came through in each phone session. Her coaching skills are tremendously effective in all areas: weight loss, relationships, career - LIFE! I learned much more about myself than I expected; specifically, the root cause of my anxiety (which was causing me to overeat). ~ Heather D.B.
The insightful nature of what Janice was able to glean from me and reflect back to me was so much more than any of my many other attempts with counseling and group work. I am filled with hope and peace each day, as I watch my body catch up to my spirit. ~ KF
Working with Janice changed everything for me. A total shift that encompassed so much more than weight loss. She is an amazing life-coach. Intuitive, insightful and non-judgmental. ~ TZ
Since I began reading Our Lady of Weight Loss (the book) and working with Janice as my coach, I have lost 12 pounds! This feels so very positive. Janice's advice, support and insights have been and will continue to be an enormous help to me, in many, many ways. ~ SB
