pear-mint thought experiment

David: what are your thoughts on pear-mint icing?
Phyllis: hmmm
Phyllis: i dont know
Phyllis: pear and mint is a great combo
Phyllis: but icing is a little heavy
Phyllis: i think maybe a pear mint glaze would be better than icing
David: what about a pear-mint meringue
Phyllis: hmm
Phyllis: is this for a cake
Phyllis: or just on its own
David: I was inspired a few minutes ago
David: it's more of a thought experiment
Phyllis: ok
Phyllis: well
Phyllis: hmm
Phyllis: i think part of whats really delicious about a cooked pear with syrup and mint is becuase its so light and cool for the summer
Phyllis: so the weight or texture of a meringe or icing just seems so heavy to me
Phyllis: because the freshness in the pear would be so important
Phyllis: but a meringue could be good
Phyllis: i think as a sorbet it would be heaven
David: oooh yes
David: a sorbet
David: good call
Phyllis: it would also be a really great summer dessert
Phyllis: poach pear with mint vanilla ice cream
David: perhaps with a light date/fig sauce sprinkled around?
Phyllis: oh yeaaaaaaaa
