Fig Anyone? Fig-it About It? Fig-ive Me

July 26, 2008

This is just a small sample of the figs our trees have produced. They have been really, really good this year.

We’ve been eating them on salads, over toast with brie and basalmic, just munching them as snacks, or our new favorite method:

stuffed with a nugget of stinky-bleu cheese, wrapped in proscuitto, skewered and grilled.

If you can find some, give it a shot. You’re taste buds will thank you.

Figs are also great gag fruit.

I took a few to work with me last week, and when I got to the office, I only had two left. I walked into the office holding a pair of purple-ish, rhymes with “malls” sized orbs. I figured if anyone asked me what they were, I’d just reply: “I got ‘em back this morning. Had to retrieve them from her purse, but I got them, and that’s all that matters.”

But I digress.

Buon Appetito.
