My favorite way to eat figs is in a newton, you know fig newtons? haven't had any in years but sure makes me want one.

Good Tuesday Morning and Evening All.

I googled, they do look good!

We got 4 inches yesterday. All dried up now. The boys took the opportunity to stomp stomp stomp for worms. The girls watched like they were nuts. Homade fig newtons, ill look that up. I was going to make a fig tart with honey and goat cheese.

Yaya for 4" and be sure to post a picture of that tart.

Ok yuck. Fig jam with cheese, peanut butter, toast. Blue cheese and procuitto. But hash browns????

Talking about hash-brown patties:

There is a dish in Germany, called "Kartoffelpuffer", "Reibekuchen" or (in my area) "Rieevkooche" - translates to something like potato fritters, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_pancake which look like this:

Those are usually eaten with apple-sauce, sugar or jam. Sweet and salty (and fatty), delicious. Those hash-patties are the closest one can buy here in the US.
If you like the combination of salty and sweet, give it a try...

Ill post a pic tomorrow of whatever I make. Funny how its only the Saxony bloodline that stomps up worms. All the other ducks just wait for the feed bowl. It really is super cute.

MMMMmmmm, fig newtons! I made them from scratch once, so good!

Greetings! Been raining for the past three days. I'd getting tired of being soaked each time I go out. Someone come do my morning chores for me, please?

That what we went through here in WV throughout the whole month of July. Bear it like a grown up and take your turn!

I've had these with apple sauce. As a side to a huge pork knuckle at an Apffel (please excuse spelling) wine bar in the countryside. It was good enough to remember 30 years later.
