I came home from my meeting to a million emails, which always sucks. Luckily, I changed my mind and had lunch before I left, because I was hungry for some reason. So around four I took a break and had some hummus and carrots:
I ran out of figs, but the obsession continues, so I stopped by our grocery store and bought some. I couldn’t decide between mission and Turkish – anyone know what the difference is? The ones I had before were mission. I stuck with tradition, but these aren’t as good as the others – they are almost too dry. Think it’s cause I got them from the bulk bin. The ones from Trader Joe’s were sealed up in a plastic container.
Anyway, I’ll still eat them. Possibly for dessert tonight. I’ve already been snacking on them all day – I’ve probably had two servings, total. Actually, I don’t even know what a serving is. I’ve had a lot, let’s put it that way.
I have to try these Figs, you have me so curious to try them
mmm, carrots & hummus – delightful snack!
I find the Turkish figs to be sweeter and more flavorful than the black mission fig variety – but that’s just my opinion, haha.
It’s so great you have this fig thing going. I find I’m the same way–it’s like I discover a particular food and can’t get enough of it (right now it’s Greek yogurt, like everyone else on the planet). I was wondering if you’ve tried fresh figs? I had one right off the tree for the first time this summer, and it was delicious! For a few days–I was staying with a friend who had a fig tree–I could seriously eat like three at a time.
whew! ok i’m done.
your making me want to try them and I don’t even like them! hahah. They have fresh ones at the farmers market I go to, Maybe I will have to try it and see if my tastes buds from when I was 9 years old.
well, well, well, look at that picture of the figs! You’re photography skills are looking up. I hear Sears Portrait Studios is hiring.
that would’ve been more funny if we had a Sears here.
Lindz – TRY THEM.
VeggieGirl – Damn. I knew I should’ve gone for the Turkish. Next time.
Katie – I am the exact same way. Well, obviously, but Chris makes fun of me all the time because I just get obsessed with one food and can’t stop eating it. Usually it’s healthy things, but still. I think I need to try a fresh fig, I’ve never had one.
Cara – I didn’t think I liked them, either. Try them! I’m going on to dates next I think.
Chris – The Picture People. I want to wear the hat.
