My mind got confuzzled....

I have only h ad afresh fig once, at a cooking class. We made fois gras stuffed with fresh figs. OMG, it was a mouthful of heaven. It was so good I couldn't speak. And lord knows it takes a lot to shut me up!!!!

oh lord - I cannot even handle the IDEA of fois gras. LOLOL

A fresh fig tastes nothing like a fig newton. Fig newtons are too sweet, fresh figs are awesome! Michawn

True, but beggars can't be choosers lol

Hi Tooter, I have been wanting fig newtons for so long. I can't wait for you to come out with a sf recipe for them (newtons, cookies...all the same). Do figs give the same benefit as plums by replacing the fat? I am always looking in the store for them, hoping that they would come out with one. Funny, with all the crap I ate, I never ate a newton. I am trying hard not to have so much crap and sf goodies. They give me gas terribly. I know, I know TMI. I did good yesterday and the day before. I also walked some. I am taking it one meal at a time cause Lord knows, I will probably screw up if I think any further ahead. I'll be looking for the recipe. ((hugs)) Joanne

my mom made a great sugar-cookie that was stuffed with figs...sooo good! Beat the crap out of the newtons they sell Good luck!

My fig tree is OVERLOADED .... each is only about an inch in diameter and they are SOOOOOO sweet. Email your addr and I'll send you some if you like.

Would you REALLY? Do they travel well? I always picked them ripe so have no idea how well they travel.......

You are a brave soul to confess this on ANY board. I must confess tho that every few months I buy a pack of Fig Newtons and eat two or three a day until they are gone. I just finished up a pack tonight. First ones I've bought for about six months I think.

Well I am just a dopy human But I sure wouldn't want to post it on the main. Get crucified lol
