So I cut up some ciabatta bread and spread cream cheese on it, then a layer of spinach yogurt dip, then the mashed up figs.
Next time I'll skip the spinach yogurt. It was a good supper though!
And today I had figs and yogurt (no spinach) for breakfast. Definitely a good thing!

Today's quote:
There isn’t time - so brief is life - for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving - and but an instant, so to speak, for that.
—Mark Twain,

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe figs look delicious, your supper looks delicious. Take care, enjoy your day!
I have one more meal of figs still...there are just 5 left, breakfast tomorrow!
DeleteSomehow I've missed out on eating figs that way. My experience is totally with fig newtons.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a good start. But of course fresh ones are juicier, and just as sweet, no sugar ever needed. I didn't have canning supplies or I would have tried to put up some as a jam.
Delete...plain and simple, America is a RACIST country.
ReplyDeleteSo those of us fighting racism are the anti-racist Americans...and there really are a lot of us these days.
DeleteI have never given or gotten a fig.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you ever get the chance...take it!
DeleteFigs are a delight. We have a tree in our greenhouse that is prolific. And a few weeks ago I had the best ice cream sandwich EVER--Fig and goat cheese ice cream between rosemary shortbread cookies.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's one I hadn't thought of! Wonderful!
DeleteOh wow, I haven't had a fig in years! How could I forget how yummy they are? Thank you for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteI happened to see a pint in the picture advertising last week's Tailgate Market here...and friends sell their pots there, so I asked if there were any left, to please buy me a pint.
DeleteFigs are so hard to come by and wonderful. Here there might be a single Saturday at the farmers market when someone has them.
ReplyDeleteYes, same here. They have a very short season...maybe 2 weeks if we're lucky. I have bought them quite green and gladly waited for them to ripen...but these were ready to eat!
DeleteI haven't had fresh figs in many years and will confess to salivating a bit at these photos, Barbara. My preference was to eat them straight from the vine, but the cream cheese looked delicious!
ReplyDeleteThey would certainly be good picked and eaten.
