Figs

[tonicha]

I've been given a load of fgis - some green, some black.

So, apart from eating them what else can I do?

Syrup of figs?!

We have a fig tree
With figs
It came from Lidl last year, a baby, and now has seven figs on it, we're so excited

I love them - I've once done a posh dinner for Bb's birthday with a fig, & goat's cheese starter, on a bed of poncy salad, with a raspberry vinegar dressing...

But there is a whole figgy tart thing, that would use a lot...will go have a look >>>>>>

Thanks Di, knew you had a tree and experimented.

I also have a HUGE water melon and I mean HUGE - it's ginormous

I have some lovely cheese, will try some tomorrow, now stuffed from the bbq

Jamie Oliver took a watermelon to a party, in his first (I think) TV series, that he'd injected with vodka
