So I don’t know about where ya’ll are from, but down here in South Mississippi Figs are in their prime. Honestly, because their season is so short and because everyone I know has to contend with the birds for the pleasure of eating them, I treasure them.
I’ve been buying them at every farm stand I can, and since my aunts, cousins, and neighbors know my mama and I love them so much, they’ve been bringing them by if they have extra to share. Isn’t that some of the most fun of growing/finding/making your own food? Sharing it??
I’ve been disappointed my tomatoes haven’t produced as much as I’d expected since once of my greatest joys over the past few summers has been doling them out to friends and leaving extras on neighbors doorsteps… next year, we’ll be back in business.
This pizza was so good I made it TWICE in a day. Once as a sweeter breakfast pizza and then later as a more savory appetizer for some of my mama’s old friends who were coming over. I mean, what says “you’re special to us and we are so glad to see you” more than figs, honey, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, and bacon?
…
Ok lovelies, its time for me to share a secret with you.
