My New Obsession: Bring on the Figs
When I was little I had a thing against Fig Newtons which automatically made me assume I didn't like figs.
It wasn't until a few months back when my husband brought home fresh figs and forced me to try them. I attempted to sputter out my 10-year-old Fig Newton experience and how I didn't like them…it didn't work. Now I have to say I LOVE figs and I have been missing out. Big time. Scrumptiously sweet with velvety skin and crunchy seeds, all combined to make a unique fruit that deserves to be talked about.
My fig obsession continues to grow. The other day for lunch I had a sandwich with fresh mozzarella and fig spread. Heaven in my mouth. I swear recently everywhere I go I scan a menu first to see if there are any figs to be eaten and then for what healthy options they have. I know…I am ridiculous. But for good reason! The delectable fig fruit that is subtle in honey-like sweetness is not so understated in the nutrition department. High in fiber, potassium and manganese, the low calorie fruit from paradise is a sweet way to lose weight and lower high blood pressure. Not to mention the health benefiting antioxidants, vitamins and phytonutrients that the mulberry family spin-off is packed with. I mean, can it get any better?
The mild flavor of the fig fruit combines well with all of your kitchen favorites. Gorge on figs from morning to night by topping your morning cereal or yogurt, nestling the versatile fruit in your salads or pairing your cheese platters with the fruit that can do it all—bleu, goat, brie or mozzarella cheese all taste divine! Snack on your own trail mix with dried figs or create a scrumptious snack bar made of fig and pumpkin seeds. Dive into a figgy dinner of chicken breasts with honey balsamic fig sauce and end the meal with fig sorbet. And once you make your way out of your fig-coma (as if this would ever happen to the fig obsessed me) make some jam so you can continue to have a taste of the forbidden fruit for days to come.
There are multiple varieties of figs, but the common cultivars are:
- Brown Turkey: Known for the copper skin and sweet, juicy pulp, this is the multipurpose fig that can be eaten and used in many forms.
- Celeste: The violet skinned fig is very sweet with white pulp and can be enjoyed fresh or dry.
- Calimyrna: The green, thick skinned variety is most popular consumed in its dry form as it is less moist and sweet.
- Mission: Best for eating fresh, the purplish black fig is full-flavored with red flesh and a chewy texture.
- Kadota: Another all-purpose fig, the yellow-green variety is sweet with a few small seeds.
Figs are available year round in their dry form, but usually only available fresh from June through September. So just a few short months of waiting! In the meantime I would like to publicly apologize to the Fig Newton team for my completely foolish thoughts about figs (and their newton counterpart). Your new fig and honey fruit thins are the only thing getting me through this fig-less time of my life.
And, in case it wasn't clear…you should get your fig on ASAP!
Are you fig obsessed like me? Link up your recipes and share your thoughts below. Don't be shy!

Can it please be June already!!!!! =) I have never tried them fresh but I have been *dying* to! Not a fan of fig newtons either but if you say the fig and honey fruit thins are good then I might have to try them out!
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons recently posted..[Taste Test!] Alexia Sweet Potato Fries + Puffs
You have to try them! They are like my girl scout cookie replacement…although nothing beats fresh figs. Soooo long! Ugh!
I love figs. I used to have a fig tree in my backyard and had them fresh off the tree. To die for. Get your fig on, you won't be sorry.
That's how I was able to try my first fresh figs! David's co-worker had a tree and had so many he shared them with us. Now he has moved…I am super bummed!
Yay! I just moved into a house with a fig tree in back! Thank you for posting the season – saves me a Google search to look it up! Now to be patient for June to roll around…
Sabrina at MyMiBoSo recently posted..Body: Time to Eat – Finding the Ideal Time to Fuel Up
I can't believe you have a fig tree in your backyard. That is a dream come true for me! I might be coming over come June!
[…] know how much I love my figs, but during apricot season I would happily replace them on a white pizza with goat or mozzarella […]
I have a Kadota fig tree in my back yard. It's about 8 ft tall and 12 feet wide! Planted it 10yrs ago. To root a new tree just break off a limb and stick in a pot with potting soil. Nothing to it! I go out to the backyard, pull a fig, and eat it still warm from the sun! Awesomeness! Mine are the size of golfballs and larger. My favorite snack is almonds and figs. We make fig jam mixed with strawberry jello. You can't tell it's not strawberries! even looks like it in the jar! And we make fig preserves with whole figs. I put them in salads and in fruit salads. They are awesome! Everyone should plant a tree! Easy to grow!
That sounds AMAZINg! I wish I had access to a tree of my favorite fruit…Unfortunately I don't think the owners of my NYC sidewalk would appreciate!

Hello, trying to purchase a home in very near future. Looking for some warm fuzzies that I can get to 600 next month when the 3 below items get reported
Here are my current scores: 580, 585, 597 as per the report the lender pulled. They need a mid of 600 to pre approve with underwriting support.
The good:
I have one NFCU credit card that was at 40% uti and 2k CL that I paid down and also increased CLI to 10k which resulted in 5% util.
I also got rid of 2 medical collections.
Long credit history
2 years perfect payment on my car loan with NFCU
6 months perfect payment on my bike with NFCU
The bad:
Student loan in collections, but half way through rebuild process that will have last payment in Feb 2014
Thanks in advance for your replies.
09-12-2013 02:53 PM - edited 09-12-2013 02:53 PM
Yes, I confirmed with them by phone that all neg history will be deleted and replaced by OK's and paid current.
Do you know the score reasons from your credit report? If so look at those for additional ideas how to improve your score. The lowering of if creidt card debt will help. Getting the medical collections off the report will help in the long run. With the student loans being reported in collection I am not sure how much you will gain in the short run by the removal of the medical collections. Remember the score the lender is going to use is the middle score for the mortgage loan.
Yes, they are listed in the report.
The student loans will be addressed in early spring when the negative lines get removed and replaced with positive ones. Right now, I'm not worried about hitting 700, that will happen when the student loans reset in the spring. I just want to get above 600, which I think is easily achievable in the next month or so.
VA financing, I have 2 different lenders that will work with 600.
Equifax already updated to 617 and NFCU has not reported yet, so crossing my fingers. They may still not approve with my student loans still showing in collections though. I do have a letter from them showing my payments while in rebuilding, but that is not complete until February.

Judge Roy Moore Redevivus
While half the nation has been celebrating and half of the nation has been mourning the re-election of Barack Obama, another election has barely been noticed outside Alabama. Judge Roy Moore, who planted a 2 1/2 ton ten commandments monument in a courthouse and then refused to obey a federal court order to remove it, has been elected again to serve as chief justice at the Alabama Supreme Court. Roy Moore's understanding of the First Amendment of the Constitution is polar opposite from my own. He thinks the Constitution establishes the "Judeo-Christian" religion. I'm convinced that the First Amendment means exactly what it says, "Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion." Moore and I do agree on one thing. Both of us see through the smokescreen that the Supreme Court is using to ignore the implications of keeping the phrase "under God" in the pledge of allegiance and using "In God We Trust" as our national motto. For both Moore and myself, the word "God" means something. It refers to a real Divinity. The Supreme Court, however, contends that the word "God" does not mean anything when it is used in our civic life. According to the Supreme Court, in American civic life the word "God" does not refer to a real Divinity because the word has "lost through rote repetition any significant religious content." (See Justice Brennan's concurring opinion in Lynch v. Donnelly, 465 U.S. 668 1984) Instead, "God" is more like a mascot that we trot out to make us feel good about ourselves and our nation. For the Supreme Court, civic references to "God" are examples of "ceremonial deism" and, therefore, do not violate the First Amendment's prohibition against establishing a religion. Roy Moore contends that the word "God" invokes a real Deity that our nation ought to acknowledge constitutionally and establish as our national sovereign. For Moore and many others in the Religious Right, democracy is, at best, defined theocratically -- not pluralistically. For them, people of no faith and people of other faiths are second-class citizens with fewer rights and privileges than those who acknowledge the "Judeo-Christian" God. Like Moore, I believe that the word "God" invokes a real Deity, but I don't believe God is interested in being acknowledged by Constitutions. The Father that Jesus revealed is interested in voluntary personal relationships with real persons, not coercive monarchical relations with the constructs of nation-states. To treat God as a national "mascot" and strip his name of "meaning" is blasphemous. It directly transgresses the command to "not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." (Exodus 20:7) Unlike Moore, I don't believe American democracy has ever been defined "theocratically." James Madison thought that the prohibition against religious tests to hold public office (Article VI of the U.S. Constitution) was enough to guarantee religious liberty for everyone. Anyone who has read his Memorial and Remonstrance knows that he never intended for people of no faith and people of other faiths to be second class citizens of this country. Anyone who has read the Act for Establishing Religious Freedom knows that Thomas Jefferson's mind was of one accord with Madison on this matter. You don't even have to be aware of the Baptist heritage of advocacy for separation of church and state to know that from the beginning the United States was conceived to be a "pluralistic" democracy, not a theocracy.

"Ceremonial deism" degrades the meaning of religion. Any truely religious person should be mortified at the shallowness of those such as Rep. Ritze who has said of the recent 10-commandments monument on the north of the Oklahoma Capitol building that's it's "merely historical." I believe they take this stance as part of a strategy that includes making all of the American founding fathers devout Christians. This enables them to say the use of religion on public property is "merely historical." This is factually false when the writings of these founding fathers is reviewed in context. This rank lying is below the sterotypical lying of used car salesmen.

No thanks, hated him in Toronto, took horrible shots. You gotta let the kids develop, looks like another lost season so let them gain experience. Clarkson looked decent in Summer League, let him play behind Lin.
Posted July 23, 2014 - 11:22 PM
Not really against getting someone like Barbosa, since we are quite thin at the PG position once Nash goes down (which he will). Would love for Clarkson to get minutes at the 1, but counting on him for 18-20mpg is a quite a stretch for a second round rookie.
Another guy i'd like us to chase is Toney Douglas. He's a defender/3pt shooter and when Kobe is handling the ball i think Douglas would be a nice fit at the 1. With Clarkson being quite big, i could even see Douglas playing next to him at times.

YIELD: Makes 10 servings
1. To make the pastry cream, combine the half-and-half, 6 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and the salt in a large heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking frequently.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, cornstarch, and the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until pale yellow and smooth, about 1 minute.
3. When the half-and-half mixture is simmering, remove from the heat and gradually whisk it into the egg mixture, going slowly and whisking constantly so as not to curdle the eggs. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, just until a few bubbles break through the surface and the mixture has thickened and is shiny, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, and the vanilla extract. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the hot pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
5. To assemble the cake, line the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with about 20 ladyfingers, standing them up side by side, rounded side out. Arrange 14 ladyfingers on the bottom of the pan to cover it.
6. Whip the cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Reserve about 2 cups of the whipped cream, transferring it to a smaller bowl. Gently fold the pastry cream into the remaining whipped cream.
7. Spread half of the pastry cream mixture over the ladyfingers and smooth with a spatula. Arrange half of the strawberries in a single layer on top of the pastry cream. Arrange 14 ladyfingers over the strawberries. Smooth the remaining pastry cream over the ladyfingers. Arrange the remaining strawberries over the cream. Top with the remaining 14 ladyfingers.
8. Smooth the reserved whipped cream over the last layer of ladyfingers. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
9. Just before serving, release the sides of the springform pan from the cake.

Penguins top Rangers 3-0 to even series 1-1
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby flicked the puck away from a New York Ranger, darted around another and veered in on Henrik Lundqvist.
The sizzling wrist shot sailed high and wide of the net and ultimately out of play.
Not that it mattered. The message had been sent. For the first time perhaps all postseason, Crosby looked like Crosby.
The fact the Pittsburgh Penguins looked like the Pittsburgh Penguins was hardly a coincidence.
Kris Letang broke a scoreless tie in the second period and Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 saves for his seventh playoff shutout to lift the Penguins to a 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday night, tying the second-round series at one game apiece. Game 3 is Monday in New York.
Crosby's postseason scoring drought reached 13 games, but after looking lethargic in a Game 1 loss he responded with arguably his best game of the playoffs. The regular-season scoring champion and Hart Trophy finalist pumped out a game-high six shots while providing a spark his team desperately needed.
"To see Sid play like that tonight was really inspiring for everybody in our dressing room," Letang said. "He was really dangerous."
The Rangers not so much.
After taking Game 1 in overtime, New York looked very much like a team playing for the fourth time in six days. The Rangers mustered only 22 shots and spent most of the night in their own end relying on the typically brilliant Lundqvist to bail them out.
"They played a little harder than we did in certain areas and for longer and we didn't sustain it," New York forward Brad Richards said. "They were desperate. They knew they had to win this game."
Letang's 15th career postseason goal matched Larry Murphy's record for Penguins defensemen. Jussi Jokinen scored during a third-period power play, and Evgeni Malkin added an empty-net goal for the Penguins.
Lundqvist made 32 saves, but the Rangers never threatened to head home with a commanding 2-0 lead. New York's limp power play went 0 for 4 and hasn't scored in 29 straight advantages.
The Rangers have lost eight straight Game 2s and have dropped an NHL-record 13 consecutive games when leading in a series.
They had their chances to jump ahead early, only to be let down again by the power play.
Three times in the first 10 minutes a Penguins player trudged to the penalty box, and three times the Rangers spent two minutes skating around as though they were killing time before getting back to even strength.
"It could have given us some momentum but we didn't finish," New York coach Alain Vigneault said. "I've got to find the right trigger points here to make it work and we'll spend the night trying to figure it out."
While the Rangers search for answers, Crosby appears to have found one. The league's biggest star has tried to remain positive during his extended funk and coach Dan Bylsma promised early Sunday that his captain would be at his "best" when the moment required.

Bad start dooms Griz in loss to New Orleans, 106-87
NEW ORLEANS — He spared hardly any timeouts and exactly no feelings during the first 12 minutes.
Grizzlies coach Marc Iavaroni couldn't considering the New Orleans Hornets were showing little mercy, too.
Iavaroni picked apart his starting lineup early Saturday night in search of rebounds and defense. The Hornets, meanwhile, were burying the Grizzlies with a near-flawless offensive onslaught in the opening period.
In the end, New Orleans tattooed Memphis with its highest scoring quarter this season, and an eventual 106-87 loss in New Orleans Arena.
The Griz fell behind 37-16 after the first period, and just never recovered.
No starter had a single rebound in the quarter, while the Hornets grabbed all but two of the Grizzlies' 13 misses.
What staggered the Griz, too, was the Hornets' 87 percent shooting the opening frame, which included four of their 11 3-pointers.
"I felt (the Hornets) came out and they were totally into what they were trying to do," Iavaroni said. "They're good. And we can't afford to totally not be into things. If we are, we will be down 37-16 in the first quarter."
Iavaroni's first substitution came within the game's first three minutes when he pulled center Darko Milicic. Rudy Gay took a seat three minutes later. Gay logged just 21 minutes and scored a season-low six points on 3-of-8 shooting with two turnovers.
"I needed energy and I needed toughness on the floor," Iavaroni said. "We were not in the tough category. We were nowhere near it."
Marc Gasol led the Griz with 21 points, scoring 16 in a fourth quarter that saw the Griz down by as many as 32 points. Rookie O.J. Mayo added 18.
Chris Paul led the Hornets with 21 points, 11 assists and five rebounds. Paul, Peja Stojakovic and David West combined to score 60 points and make 21 of 30 shots.
"We tried to put them away early," Stojakavic said. "It's a good feeling when, for the first time this season, we were able to put a team away."
The Hornets hadn't played since Wednesday and their pent-up energy was evident from the start against the Griz, who were in the second game of a back-to-back set and its third game in four nights.
"I don't think the guys are going to use that as an excuse," Griz guard Mike Conley said. "They jumped on us and really set the tempo. We couldn't get defensive stops. If you can't get stops you can't get back in the game."
Offensively, the Griz didn't put pressure on the Hornets' defense because they settled for perimeter shots. Memphis hardly resembled the cohesive squad that ended a seven-game losing streak Friday night with a win against the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I don't have an answer for that," Mayo said. "You've got to come ready every night. If not, that's what happens. (Friday) night, we played the Clippers. What works against the Clippers might not be good enough against the Hornets."
New Orleans pulled away with emphatic runs, opening the game with a 16-6 lead before ending the first quarter on a 12-2 spurt. Mayo tried to keep the Griz afloat when he scored 10 of their first 12 points in the second period. But the Griz couldn't get any closer than 12 points for the rest of the game.
"We didn't take them out of their game," Gasol said. "We didn't make it difficult for them at all."
New Orleans kept getting good looks at the rim out of pick-and-roll sets. Paul scored seven straight points during a 9-2 run just before the Hornets took a 58-39 lead into halftime.
The second half provided no solace for the Griz or Gay.
His night ended two minutes into the third period when Gay got burned by back-to-back 3-pointers by Stojakovic. Iavaroni quickly inserted veteran Quinton Ross.
"All I'm saying is it's a team effort," said Gay, who didn't return mainly because the Griz were down by 20 points most of the third, and trailed 90-61 heading into the final frame.
Evident after the Grizzlies' seventh straight road loss was that their focus isn't all that's fleeting.
The last time an NBA team's starting five failed to record a rebound in the first quarter was 2002 when Orlando performed the cheerless feat.
"We have to get our defensive hardness back," Griz rookie forward Darrell Arthur said.
"We've got to play harder and hungrier. We didn't do that."

This is the generation, after all, that grew up with attachment parenting and Baby Einstein videos. They grew up playing soccer on teams where everyone was captain and watching music videos in which every girl with a gorgeous voice looked like a model as well.
Fifty Shades? No, thank you. I don't want to read a book in which an educated girl gets tied up and whipped. I want to hold on and go forward.

"We picked 23 different disease genes to study," said Lim.
All of them caused the same kind of degeneration in nerve cells, even though they were different genes making different proteins.
"We felt they must have common protein partners," he said.
"We found that the proteins made by those 23 genes all interacted with one another," said Zoghbi. "They either interacted directly or indirectly through common partners. Proteins that we know can change the course of disease in animal models were also identified as common partners."
"In this network are spots where many proteins interact," she said. "These are key proteins."
These proteins, she said, could be extremely important in insuring normal neuronal function.
"When you step back, you realize this is applicable to any human disease," she said. "You start with a handful of genes you know cause disease and then go find their partners, and then their partners and then build a network that will include all the factors that make you susceptible to a disease or cause the symptoms of it."
"Instead of thinking one gene-one disease, you realize that if there are 10 genes that cause the same symptoms, they must do it through some common pathways or interactions with other proteins."
In applying the network theory to understanding disease, Zoghbi and her colleagues have come full circle. Symptoms used to always be the basis for medical treatment.
"Now we are providing a mechanistic basis for understanding why we treat symptoms," she said.
In the future, treatments may be designed to interrupt the cellular missteps that lead to disease.

SALEM — The first draft of a bill to give some universities more independence from the statewide university system would prohibit them from raising in-state undergraduate tuition more than 5 percent a year.
The legislation, which is in a very early stage, has been drafted in response to demands by some universities for more autonomy over their own operations. The debate was intensified when former University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere was fired in part for charting his own course in conflict with the statewide board.
A special legislative committee appointed to study the matter is scheduled to hear public testimony on the proposal Thursday.
"The goal here is to allow these universities to reach their highest potential, to be the best they can be, while also preserving the integrity of a state system that's open and accessible to everyone who wants to avail themselves of higher education," said Sen. Mark Hass, a Beaverton Democrat who is co-chairman of the legislative panel.
Many of the details have yet to be worked out, and Hass said it'll be refined many times before it even reaches a vote in the House or Senate.
Under the draft, universities would be able to create local governing boards with limited control over the school's operation — if they want to, and if they're capable. Their request would have to be approved by some entity yet to be determined. University of Oregon and Portland State University have expressed interest in such flexibility.
The local boards would have authority to hire and fire the president "in consultation" with the state Board of Higher Education and the governor. The board also would be able to hire and fire faculty and staff and to determine their wages.
Local board members would get to set tuition for graduate and nonresident students without restrictions, but they wouldn't be allowed to increase tuition beyond 5 percent without the approval from the statewide board, the Oregon Education Investment Board or the Legislature.
The local governing board would also be able to take on debt in the form of revenue bonds, with the approval of the state treasurer, and mortgages.
The 13 board members would be appointed by the governor and be confirmed by the Senate, some of whom would have to be representatives of the student body, faculty, staff and the statewide board.
