Hello everybody.
I was honored to have my hubbies’ aunt and our favorite cousin for lunch today,she came for a doctor’s appointment then came to lunch before going back to Irbid,we really had a great time.
I made rice with vegetables and curry chicken (Banan’s Rice ),roasted ribs,chili potatoes and salad with labaneh.
Dessert was a new recipe,pear crumble cake, I had some ripe pears so they were perfect for this.

* 2 cups water.
* 1 cup sugar.
* 1 stick cinnamon.
* 2 thinly sliced pears.
* 3/4 cup butter.
*2/3 cup sugar.
* 2 eggs.
* 1 1/2 cups flour.
* 2 tsp baking powder.
* 1 tsp vanilla.
* Crumble topping:
