Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
While I was in California last week, I made a stop at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. I was there mostly just to gawk, as I was getting on a plane later in the day. I did make a couple of small purchases, including a bag of sun dried tomatoes (more on those soon, as they may just be one of the best things I've ever tasted), a scant pound of local grapes and a basket of figs, which I ate while waiting for my flight. The figs were at the point of ripeness where they just beg to be eaten and I was happy to comply.
I prefer eating figs raw, mostly because I never have a enough of them around to satisfy my hunger for them and still use them in cooking or baking. However, if I happened to have a surplus of figs, I think I'd make these financiers. Check out the recipe here.
