He said that it's more French to leave it out and that it overwhelms the fruit - usually I douse my baked goods with cinnamon. But this time I left it out and it was really amazing. I could taste the pear so much more. But cinnamon as an aphrodisiac! That's a whole new reason to bake the American way;) Funny, husbando, who is the lead baker in our household convinced me to leave out the cinnamon.

I remember--back in my dating days-- that someone told me that if I wanted to make a man attracted to me, I should bake cinnamon rolls or something with cinnamon in it before he came to my house to pick me up. Once he got there, the scent of my cinnamon-filled house would somehow magically make him like me. Ha! That would be one piece of advice I never followed. Ahhhhh. Warm kitchen smells….sounds yummy.
