It makes a great appetizer and will really help you with that overabundance of figs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812225189350245955.post-61692331255647083772008-10-01T10:27:00.000-07:002008-10-01T10:27:00.000-07:00Since I'm pretty sure my mom is the only family me...Since I'm pretty sure my mom is the only family member who reads this blog, I usually forward bits and pieces to other family members. I sent this to my cousins Renee and Michelle, both daughters of my Aunt Elsie L - one of the fabulous kolache makers mentioned in this post. I thought they'd enjoy reading about the figs, food, kolaches and their mom. <BR/><BR/>Renee sent this email reply:<BR/><I>Hi,<BR/>thanks for the email, esp. the photo of the kolaches. Today is our first real, cool fall day (I just stopped wearing flipflops!) so now it's starting to feel like baking weather. I "cheat": when I make kolaches, starting the dough in the breadmaker (Frank, is this a sin or kosher?) and then, instead of the back-wrenching grinder my mom used, I use a food processor for the poppyseed (I don't think the canned is very good). My own version is poppyseed mixed with black sesame seeds. There are no poppyseeds in Japan, so that's when I came up with this version. Good luck on your fig version. It sounds delicious!<BR/><BR/>Renee</I>Pam Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516546337996538661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812225189350245955.post-81041496093910907332008-09-26T19:41:00.000-07:002008-09-26T19:41:00.000-07:00Me here.

The friends with the fig tree in the back yard of their office are our Realtor/Mortgage Broker/Loan Officer. <BR/><BR/>I checked on the figs today when we were finishing up with the paperwork with the closing. (Yes! We finally closed!)<BR/><BR/>Some figs are soft and ready. So sweet and juicy, you'd never believe that figs off the tree are the same dry flavorless fruit you buy in the grocery store. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to gather more and try out some of those recipes. More postings about the figs as time and fruit allow...Pam Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516546337996538661noreply@blogger.com
