Thanks for dropping by!<br /><br />Adam - Glad you enjoyed the recipe. The gentle hand thing is tough to learn sometimes.<br /><br />Cathy - Maybe I should have sent his plate over. ;-)<br /><br />Duckie - Unless you're talking about coconut of course. ;-)<br /><br />DD - I love garlic too, so it really can be hard. The key is to find a dish where garlic is really meant to be the star. Then you can really go all out!<br /><br />Dandy - Thanks for stopping by. If you really would like an easy way to use fresh figs, just try a nice sharp cheese and some proscuitto. You won't be disappointed.<br /><br />Sue - Ha! I'm still guilty of that. It's the drama queen in me. <br /><br />Bunny - Caramelized onions are a magical thing.The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-14817788390749675932009-08-22T22:05:48.755-04:002009-08-22T22:05:48.755-04:00Very nice post , your so right about the spices an...Very nice post , your so right about the spices and restraint!

As her career prolonged, her ingredient list is indeed higher. I like her first recipes better. <br /><br />This dish looks fantastic!Donna-FFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380224050534765193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-13341106296543317432009-08-21T21:15:22.234-04:002009-08-21T21:15:22.234-04:00Yummy dish!

It IS amazing how different one's cooking is now compared to when we were young(er).<br /><br />I'm not sure I was guilty of over-schuzzing up recipes, but I was definitely guilty of overkill in the AMOUNT and VARIETY of food. I used to treat cooking for company like an Olympic sport and I think a lot of enthusiastic cooks do the same thing. I like Ina's approach. If the host is relaxed, then the guests will be too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-39738880098392641492009-08-21T19:22:28.005-04:002009-08-21T19:22:28.005-04:00You know I keep seeing fresh figs and had no idea ...You know I keep seeing fresh figs and had no idea how to use them.

It takes a gentle hand to kind of just let go and let the FOOD take center stage, don't you think?<br /><br />Anyways, I've practically fallen in love with figs over the years, so you have my undivided attention here. This is a stellar sweet dish :)Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494977879326006105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-5437743730642865232009-08-21T02:06:41.973-04:002009-08-21T02:06:41.973-04:00Trying to drum up courage to cook with figs...I...Trying to drum up courage to cook with figs...I've only tried them fresh once..so I'll line up this as one to do... soonKitchen Butterflyhttp://www.kitchenbutterfly.comnoreply@blogger.com
