Figs

I bought some black figs at Trader Joe's last night.  Yum!  What can I do with them, other than shovel them in my face as-is?

figs and goat cheese are delectable together.

I agree- figs and goat cheese are great, also manchego or parm. A salad of arugula, figs, & goat cheese is lovely.

I have some feta.  How would that work in a salad?

that would work


or you could put half a fig and a hunk of feta on a slice of baguette, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and toast under the broiler

OMG that sounds amazing!  I saw a couple of recipes that had something similiar but added fresh basil, I might add some of that since I have a basil plant.  Mmmm, I am excited for dinner now!

Now I want figs.

In Spanish they are "higo" which I often mix up with "higado" which means liver.

Now I want figs.

me too! In fact I am now dreaming of an arugula salad with pistachios, goat cheese, and figs.

In Spanish they are "higo" which I often mix up with "higado" which means liver. 

I imagine that could get a little tricky, ordering in restaurants. What an unhappy surprise.

I also confused "cerveza" and "servilleta" as a child.

I miss my fig tree. Stupid lightning. (Not that the stupid squirrels left many figs for me).
