Figs are delicious! I don't mean the sticky paste that you find in a "Newton", I mean real fresh figs. I'd never had one before, so I leaped at the chance to try one at the outdoor Sunday market this week. I was a little skeptical, because like I said, I don't like Fig Newtons, or dried figs for that matter. But the actual fruit is really lovely. They have a mild taste with a hint of something resembling honey at the center.
Another experimental purchase were squash blossoms, which are supposedly delicious filled with cheese and pan fried like a chiles rellanos. Those are on the menu for tonight, along with tacos while we watch the Packers take on the Bears for Monday Night Football. Happy Game Day everyone!
