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.

* Ingredients and method:

* 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:

* 1/2 cup plain flour.

* 1/3 cup sugar.

* 1/2 cup butter.

* pour the batter in a buttered spring pan then add pears on top.

* make the crumble by mixing all ingredients till crumbly, you may need extra flour.
