figs.your.way

friend brought along a big bag of figs, you have been munching it fresh, they're fleshy and sweet...

 you eat them raw in your oatmeal porridge with almond nuts...

 you stuffed them with got cheese, wrapped them in parma ham and squeeze a drizzle of honey.  they are really yummy! you wish you have more time to whisk a fig tart or fig pie but you're overwhelmed by your work lately. not that the workload is high, it's just another learning curve that you have to overcome.  so for now, you haven't got that much free time to experiment with figs

 you manage to whisk up a fig almond breakfast cake, using what you have at home the night before.you're so stressed that the only way to find a momentary relief is by getting your hands dirty in the kitchen...

 it's a lovely fig almond cake, simple rustic with a hint of cardamon....

and you're glad that you used up the last few pieces of fig as they are quite perishable.
happy fig day! you wish you'd have constant supply of fig but fig is hard to get by in lowland.
keep this short! till next post!
