Chef David’s Corner
Here is a salad that utilizes
our new crop of local pears.
Pears are Oregon’s official State
Fruit. Volcanic soil, abundant
water, warm days and cool
nights combine to create the
perfect conditions for growing
pears in Oregon. Their principal
growing regions are in Hood
River Valley in central Oregon
and Rogue River Valley in
southeastern Oregon.
Oregon Pear Bistro Salad
8 Cups Assorted Mixed Salad
Greens
2 Fresh Bartlett or Comice
Pears, Cored and Sliced
1/2 Cup Red Onion, Thinly
Sliced
1/2 Cup Walnut Halves
1/2 Cup Crumbled Bleu
Cheese
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Method: Line a large platter
with greens. Top with pears,
sliced onions and sprinkle with
walnuts and crumbled cheese.
Combine vinegar and oil to
taste. Drizzle dressing over
salad. Serve with crusty bread, if
desired. Serves four.
Enjoy!
David
Welcome Sheila!
Born in Newton, Wales,
Sheila is a delightful woman
whose smile and hugs make the
day brighter!
Sheila was the oldest of six
children who grew up in Dalfor
and joined the British Air Force
at nineteen years of age. She
wanted to be trained as a radio
mechanic, but soon became
bored with that and went back
to office work, which she had
done in a bicycle shop before
entering the Air Force. She also
babysat at the American base in
the evenings.
Sheila had always wanted to
come to America, and
coincidentally the same day that
the Andrea Doria sunk, she
arrived in New York at 25 years
of age. There she worked as an
Au Pair. After a few years, she
relocated to San Diego, and
finally to Los Angeles for the
next approximately fifty years.
A chance meeting with a
friend who called a repairman to
fix her TV led to Sheila’s
romance. This led to a courtship
and marriage! The repairman
asked her friend for Sheila’s
phone number, called her and
the rest is history! They were
married for 29 years, and
together they raised a son, Steve.
Sheila is very clear that she
does not like to cook and with
her calculations, figures that her
husband, who prepared and
cooked all of their meals, made
about 10,000 dinners for Sheila
in the time they were married!
Sheila tells a story that she
and her youngest sibling are 19
years apart and in her father’s
family, her father and his
youngest sibling are also 19
years apart!
Sheila and her son, Steve,
relocated to Ashland four years
ago. Sheila now calls Skylark her
home and moved in here last
month! We are so glad that you
are here!

National Banana
Split Day!
Remember National Corn
Fritter Day last month? We had
a full lobby of eager residents
waiting to taste the delectable
fritters of corn sautéing on the
griddle with Cori at the helm
and Marsha as her assistant.
Not only were they a tasty
treat, but residents were
reminiscing with stories about
corn fritters throughout their
lives. It really is interesting how
food can serve as a diary in time
and what fun it was to hear
these stories!
Be on the lookout for more
“Cooking with Cori”
adventures!
