Fig Me Up, Fig Me Down!

Fig season will soon be upon us so in anticipation the CC gives you two classics:

Figs with Sea Salt

Slice them thin, and lace with your best sea salt.

Just trust the CC and do it!

Spelt Crackers with Figs, Goat Cheese and Orange-Blossom Honey

First, the spelt cracker recipe.

Layer them in that order. You can also use a classic blue cheese or even brie in a dash. The four different textures and the classic sweet-salty-savory combination is the key to magic of this recipe.

This is one of those miracles of life. Don't miss it!

Picked my first Turkish brown today just moments ahead of the bluejay raiders. Ghlaaaaaghhhh.... T'was fat, heavy in the hand, and delish beyond reason.

Instead of salt, try just a tad of crumbled chevre on a sun-warmed, halved fig. By itself, it's enough to make you lie down on the floor and scream. Add a bit of shaved/sliced prosciutto and prepare for nirvana.

Wow, totally jealous here.

We've had a really wet summer so the first (good) vegetables are just hitting the farmers' markets.
