I have ripe figs on the tree in my yard. Fig ideas, anyone?
Split them, stuff them with goat cheese and wrap them in prosciutto. Stick them under the broiler (or on the grill) just long enough the crisp up the prosciutto
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Good move, bob bob!
I will happily come by and scoop up some fruit, Kat. Although I admit there's something about figs, pears and quince that seems like they're from an earlier era, aren't they Renaissance delicacies? Or is my brain misremembering things again?
Fresh figs are lovely with sugar and cream on them, then again, what wouldn't be?

I think quince will always be renaissance in my head.
We also have two cherimoya trees but they don't have any fruit. My yard is weird.
Apparently, fig newtons are best made with dry figs. So if I want to make fig newtons (my original plan) then I'll have to dry the figs first. Blargh.

Bummer no fruit, cherimoya are yummy.

I think they have fruit in winter and spring. We have a ton of flowers on the tree.

I know when I lived in a house that had a fig tree I made tons of some kind of fig based cookie. They were not very newton-like, but tasty. Possibly a recipe from californiafigs.com
My favorite is figs hot off the tree, just split 'em with my thumbs and eat. Yum. No way we could go through all the figs that way, though

Someone bring me a plate of those right now, please?

If you come to Connecticut, I can have them hot when you get here.

Has anyone else seen the new lolcat/meme thing where they say "ermagerd"?
I hate it with the fire of 1,000 suns. More. ALL THE SUNS.
So of course my friends post pictures with it to my FB wall just to drive me batshit insane. Bunch of scapegraces, they are.
Went to a damn good baseball game tonight (who wants to be hit with a 100-mph pitch? not me! [neither did the batter]) that, randomly, Charlie and Martin Sheen were at. The crowd-cam kept them up on the Jumbotron for longer than normal, until the crowd realized that's really who it was. V. strange for Cincinnati.
