Why today is good

On the menu:

• Wine braised brisket, served cold with mustard (it is hot here!)
• Fresh challah
• Chilled green beans in vinaigrette
• Something with figs and goat cheese (??)
• Olives

(On the menu last week was chicken adobo with white rice and a cold cucumber and onion salad)

Figs! I love figs! I love pulling them warm off of a tree and just biting into them. So soft and delicious. These are from New Seasons and I've had better, but they are still figs.

I had to photograph them all close up, because the rest of my kitchen looked like this:

Which isn't exactly picturesque.

Have a great weekend everyone!
