I love figs and I’m lucky to have a mature fig tree on the parking strip of the house next door. I also have several friends with fig trees and I am a happy recipient of over-bounty. My favorite way to eat them is sliced up, with a little thick unwhipped whipping cream poured on top and a few pine nuts for garnish. Yum!

I’m glad someone is picking up the ball on Michael Pollan’s books. Maybe we CAN change the system.

Very well said, Sarah. Food for thought!
