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.
DeleteWell, if you get the chance...
