That IS a lot of phone time. I hereby declare you may choose to speak to no one if you so desire for the next little while (or until the return calls start...)
The only return call I am expecting is the therapist. Everyone else has been dealt with. TCG has been looking forward to this play all season, so I would have felt sick if he had to miss it, especially since I canceled the first time we were supposed to see it because there was too much other stuff going on.
Epic, definitely try one before you try to do anything with them. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Edit: I never had beets or figs until well into adulthood, but now I love them both.
I miss fresh figs. Got some last time I was in California and got my friend K hooked on them.
ION, I'll be getting figs in my next CSA box. We've never had figs before (literally). What does one DO with them?
Cut the figs in half. Spread a nice smear of goat cheese or chevre on each half. Wrap each half in a slice of prosciutto. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and roast them for about 8 to 10 minutes.
This will make your mouth very happy.
Not to be difficult, but are there any non-cheese suggestions? Lactose-intolerant here, and while I will occasionally risk it (with lactose pills), I prefer to keep as lactose free as possible.
Mmmm, figs!
And erin, I did wonder if you could stand, but then I thought "but standing and doing her job for HOURS would be exhausting".
I had one employee for a long time that always worked standing up at a high table we had. He had previous back surgery and said he was much more comfortable that way. He would sit and socialize at lunch, then go back to work standing. Although I hope that this doesn't become necessary, Erin!!!
Sorry, Epic. That's the only fig recipe I know.
Bacon or prosciutto wrapped is good even without the cheese. Goat cheese doesn't bother my lactose intolerance, but your intolerance may be different.
I've had this and it was deelish. [link] I think you can leave out the parmesan.

No worries. I still marked it 'cuz it sounds yummy. And I think sj's right about goat cheese being a little easier on me than cow. I just thought I'd solicit for further ideas.
