My mother got a fruit basket from her office

And this might sound ungrateful, but I wish they'd asked before picking, because they chose one that contains six pears and two Gala apples. And nobody in this family likes pears, and the only person who is passionate about apples only eats Granny Smiths. (That's Eva. I mean, I enjoy Jonagolds and Honeycrisp and Winesaps, but Gala? Sigh.)

I can find ways to use the apples, I suppose, but what am I going to do with six pears? Maybe I'll call the food bank on the corner, ask if they can use them on Saturday. Don't know what they'll do with six pears either, they certainly get more than six families every week.
