Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I have had some great figs this season (as well as a few stinkers, they can't all be perfect). While I admire people who make fig ice cream or fig galettes with their bounty of figs, my personal supply is typically fairly limited. So while I find myself gazing with longing at all the pretty recipes on the blogs and in the magazines, I can't bring myself to commit my few figs to any such endeavor. However, if I were to invest a few figs in the making of something, I think I would turn first to the recipe for Homemade Fig Newtons that Gena at Big City, Little Kitchen posted. The combination of pastry, cream cheese and fresh figs makes me salivate and wonder if the time has come to turn my humble little figs into some grander.

I bought some Newtons recently on a whim (it's been a while since I've had them). I threw the whole package out ofter two cokies. They tasted metallic! YUCK.
I'll take the homemade variety from now on, thank you!

I have two current love affairs involving figs, and both are easy. One is the result of a tasting at Trader Joe's, actually. Slice a fig in two, top it with crumbled chevre, and drizzle with honey. Wonderful.
The other is a sandwich I get from a little bistro near my office. A sliced roll is topped with sliced figs, sliced brie cheese, schmeared with a little creme fraiche, and then drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Add whatever produce suits your fancy. Delicious.
