RE: New Foods and Experiences - Figs! Nothing like Fig Newtons
Actually, I eat basically the whole thing. Here's a recipe I shared on my food blog a while ago that combines them with ham and goats cheese.
I like the freshness of fresh figs, but I tend to use the dried ones in recipes. I can't always get them fresh at the store either way.
That looks awesome. I used to be on word press but I hate ads so much that I didn't want to subject anyone I knew with them. Now I know why your work here is so nice, as well as the ideas for your creations. You are a pro!
Me- I just snap and write what comes to mind.
Speaking of fresh. I just started making my chili with fresh tomatoes and those skids are wrecking the whole thing. Canned taste horrible now that I have had fresh, but the thought of peeling tomatoes is more work than soaking and flavoring my beans from hard as rock.
I actually started on Wordpress when I decided I wanted to blog about food and games. Not long after that, I found Steemit and slowly started to do less and less on my Wordpress blog. Steemit is just more interesting for me right now, because I enjoy branching out. The food blog is now just a nice place to store all of my recipes! No pro at all though, I just like to share my hobbies :D
Oh yes, fresh usually does taste a whole lot better, but it can be much more work. I try to find a good balance there. Use a lot of fresh foods, but I'll cheat a bit with canned tomatoes and beans!
No canned beans where I live. No chili to speak of either. I have to soak them, boil them and then add spice. Then I can them for the next three or four batches.
