Cooking instruction summary:

In a medium pot, whisk together agar and pear nectar. Whisking continuously, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for about 10 minutes.In the meantime, peel, core, and chop pears. When agar is dissolved, add the pears to the pot, bring back to a simmer, then lower heat again, and cook for about 5 10 minutes until pears are soft.Dissolve the arrowroot starch in remaining tablespoon of nectar and add to the cooking pear mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.Combine the hot pear mixture, drained cashews, maple syrup, and vanilla in a blender. Starting with a low setting, increase the speed of the blender until the mixture is completely smooth.Empty into a shallow bowl, cool slightly, then refrigerate for an hour. The mixture should resemble a creamy jello.Now this is where the magic happens. Whisk the mixture vigorously until creamy and smooth (you can also use a food processor), then store refrigerated for up to 3 days.Preheat oven to 350F. If making the tartlets, line the pan bottoms with parchment circles and grease with coconut or olive oil.Combine the dry (first 5) ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender, and process until finely ground.Add the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly to form a wet and sticky mixture.Set aside for 20-30 minutes, until the mixture is still moist, but no longer sticky.For the tarts: Divide the dough evenly between shells and press it in evenly with your hands. Place the tartlet shells on a baking tray.For the teacup parfaits: Crumble the dough and spread out on a parchment lined tray.Bake shells or crumble for 8 minutes. Rotate trays and bake for 8 minutes longer, watching it closely, until the crusts are just starting to brown (mine are a little too brown).Remove from oven and cool completely.Preheat oven to 400F.On a parchment lined baking tray, toss the pear slices with maple syrup and olive oil, then arrange in a single layer.Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are starting to caramelize.Remove from the oven and when the pears are cool enough to handle, remove them from the tray and store in a bowl, until ready to use.

Food Joke

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything; tutors, flash cards, special learning centers, in short, everything they could think of. Finally in a last ditch effort, they took Tommy down and enrolled him in the local Catholic School. After the first day, little Tommy comes home with a very serious look on his face. He doesn't kiss his mother hello. Instead, he goes straight to his room & starts studying. Books & papers are spread out all over the room and little Tommy is hard at work. His mother is amazed. She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is done he marches back to his room without a word and in no time he is back hitting the books as hard as before. This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother tries to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Tommy brings home his report card. He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the books. With great trepidation, his mom looks at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She can no longer hold her curiosity. She goes to his room and says: "Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?" Little Tommy looks at her and shakes his head "No". "Well then", she replies, "was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms, WHAT was it?". Little Tommy looks at her and says, "Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.
