That will be the case no longer! The halibut recipe sounds especially yummy.<br /><br />I also hope my tree grows well. As a side bonus, after telling my parents that I bought a fig tree, I found out that my grandpa (who I was especially close to throughout my life, and is still my hero, inspiration, and role model) used to grow them in his backyard in Brooklyn when my mom was a child.

The fruit is incredible - I bought a whole cookbook dedicated to figs to help me use them all up, with roasted halibut/figs/red onions/orange peel being a particular favourite. We did a fairly drastic trim last year though, and barely have any figs this year. I am Not Happy about this. I hope your tree grows well!Cath@VWXYNot?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01164268321173313605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38049554.post-20264229401170468762009-08-08T23:52:44.112-05:002009-08-08T23:52:44.112-05:00Bonus: The latex from fig trees includes the hand...Bonus: The latex from fig trees includes the handy-dandy protease ficin, which supposedly can be used to make cheese.Ivan Privacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876109105618900667noreply@blogger.com
