I love figs, I also do love cooking with them. They add a nice flavor.

So beautiful. No wonder big old bullfrogs love to hang out around them.

What do you do with them? They don't always have to be in a cookie right? Okay I'll have to buy a fresh one just to see what they're really like. The problem is Ohio probably won't have ripe figs for sale. They'll be green and gassed or something.

I do fig pizza, oven roasted figs, honey roasted figs with chicken, fig preserves, and I do salads.

I do like them in cookies as well

Oh and I almost forgot I do honey fried figs, roasted figs, and baked figs with goat cheese. And sometimes I do fig bars. As you can see, there are lots of figs in my house.

if you read back a few 100 posts @Tidgy's Dad debunked all of those nostaligic items.

How did I miss that??? Do you mean a few thousand? Well...it really don't matter. I didn't have to read all that and I'm seeing a blast from the past anyway. Yeah!

I’ve used both black mission figs and Adriatic figs and the mission figs are more like fig newtons but my white figs are from my tree and they are really tasty. And free.

I've never had fresh figs. I can tolerate a fig Newton kinda. I'm curious though about what they really taste like in a good home cooked recipe. I'm sure it would make a world of difference. I can't really eat processed foods because I'm allergic to corn.

Actually, You can’t go wrong there.....all three are fine with me;-)

Yum. Roasted fig with honey and goat cheese.

I do pineapple on pizza so that isn't out of the question with me. Anything I have on hand can go on a pizza. Roasted chicken with some fruit isn't either. Ok. I'm going to try them.

Have you tried the kiwi pizza yet?

That’s delicious, I do figs with Charcuterie, that’s when I add honey and goat cheese. There’s so many things I do with figs. I’ll probably be remembering them for days.

Yes but Only on the fruit pizzas. With cream cheese.

Shoot! All this time I thought I've been walking a mile when I walk my laps around the pasture, and I've figured it wrong! There are 28 ten foot sections of fence in one lap, so one lap is 280'. I walk ten times around the pasture, so that would only be 2800'. Dang it! I don't want to walk more than ten laps. Shoot!!!!!

You forgot to add all the steps around your house before your 10 laps. Then all the steps after... I say get one of those pedometers and take smaller steps. I'll bet it'll tell you: You Did It!?

None.
It's an apple.

Huh?

Hello, gang.
I've been out setting up some rat traps outside due to a strange new abundance of them in and around my pens. And I saw a VERY large Raccoon on my fence.
It's the first Raccoon I've seen since the Raccoon war of 2008. (In which I won)
Rodents are definitely getting a foothold out there again.
Time to get the big live traps out of hiding in the garage.
