Not possible in real life. But since figs and walnuts are available right now, I splurge and stock up on them as much as is feasible.Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-21537665805783754152012-09-16T19:21:04.472+02:002012-09-16T19:21:04.472+02:00Nami, I never ate figs when I was young, that is n...Nami, I never ate figs when I was young, that is not a fruit we ever had at our house. i discovered this only later in life and nowadays I am addicted to them!Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-50136980458597917232012-09-15T05:14:22.113+02:002012-09-15T05:14:22.113+02:00Now you're talking.

I did freeze the last lot they brought over so I can make a compote later this Fall. What is so nice about this week of yours, Andrea, is that it shows what great respect you have for the produce products you use, cook with, and put on your table. You've inspired me to be a little more choosy when and where and how I purchase all kinds of food. After reading this Post, I'll never be able to buy a sack of shelled walnuts from Costco again.

Maybe because of that I have developped this obsessed love toward figs. :D This cake looks so amazing. I wish I have less fear about baking so that I just stand up and start whipping up to make this delicious cake for myself!
