Pear & Cinnamon Pecan Salad



This Pear & Cinnamon Pecan Salad is the perfect blend of savory and sweet! Made with fresh pear slices, cooked chicken, the most delicious homemade candied cinnamon pecans, and a homemade cinnamon vinaigrette dressing to tie it all together. Make it with me!



The key ingredient to making this salad really delicious is making the Candied Cinnamon Pecans! They are a real treat!! I always make a large batch of the nuts so I can have them on a hand for a couple of weeks! They are great added to salads like this, or just plain as a snack!





This recipe is the perfect salad to transition from Summer into Fall! Pears are in season here in Utah in September! It's the perfect blend of savory and sweet.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
