(-58 lbs.) Figalicious

We've got this fig tree in our yard that's gone absolutely ape-nuts this season and we've got figs out the wazoo. Consequently, we're trying figs in EVERYTHING. Amazingly, it hasn't gotten anywhere near disgusting yet. Our figs are firm and very mild; not too sweet and compliment just about everything. We've added them to salad, protein shakes, meat dishes, bbq'd and drizzled with basalmic vinegar, baked into breads, and who knows what else. Everything has been pretty tasty.

Downside is that their shelf-life is very short unless they're dried or somehow preserved in another way. We seem to be going through them and giving them away fast enough to eliminate any waste.

The new schedule is too new to tell if it is making any real difference, but I'm still losing weight- so good times. I'll plot the loss over the next couple of weeks to see if things ramp up at all.
