Figs...

When I was in Paris, there was a little grocery store around the corner from us on Ile Saint-Louis that sold fresh figs. I'd never seen fresh figs before - not in Ottawa stores. So I bought them on the theory that since I love dried figs, I'd love the fresh variety. And so I did. Tasia showed me how to eat them. I had them with breakfast just

LOL Things like that tend to happen. My mother used to say "ask, and maybe you'll receive"...

It's spookily delightful how well that works!

(Dear Universe, please find a way for me to go back to the UK next year...)

LOL Well, it may work, you know? :)

Figs are love! I had a wonderful dessert once where you fill fresh figs with goat milk cream cheese (but should work with normal cream cheese too), drop a little honey on it and sprinkle it with rosmary, then grill it over. Delicious!

Ooh, sounds lovely! I must try that recipe - now I can get the ingredients. Assuming I'll be able to do so again.

You gotta experiment a bit with how much honey and rosmary you like, there are no set measures. Enjoy!

I'd like to say an obvious pun ... but, for your sake, will refrain.

Welcome back, with lots of hugs.

Did you VOTE yet? :-)

[fajrdrako]

There are no obvious puns. Except in your head. (and the heads of others like you.)

Yes, I voted before I left for France, in advance polls.

I adore fresh figs. I have eaten one plucked straight from the tree, sun-warmed, in the Roman Theatre in Arles. Doesn't get much better than that! (It was years ago, and they seem to have tidied the tree out of the way since, but such a memory!)

[fajrdrako]

Now, that's one of those great memories - ! I am envious. I's love to visit Arles.
