Just in case its name doesn't say it all, let me tell you how thoroughly delicious this really is. Perfectly pure pear flavor, intensified by quick roasting. The deeply dark version of sweet from pure maple syrup. Big, mouth-filling flavor. Amazingly light but luxurious and rich.

Problem's always how to pack and carry something you'd really like to eat on a plane or in a car. And not make a mess of it. Then I found the Lunch Pot. Same idea as your old lunchbox. Or lunch pail. But much cooler. And neater.

Aerobic exercise in your own time and space. Find thirty minutes and twenty square feet. Elevate your heart rate and breathe hard for twenty or thirty minutes. No single exercise is strenuous. But do them all quickly and you'll sweat. Then cool down.
