I’ve not seen it for a long time. I told you about the fig tree, but not of other things. [...] [...] Speaking of fresh produce, some of you are probably wondering how the garden is doing.

There's an added guily pleasure to that twinge you get when biting into any fresh soft fruit: In addition to it feeling a little like biting into live flesh (er,...I imagine!), it sort of looks like that on the inside too! Once you've had one, you'll never go back! -cvj They’re delicious!

As soon as I get it right I'll pass along the recipe. It's still not exactly there yet.

I'd like to finally visit now that I am on the west coast again, let's talk privately, I am scheduled to spend January in SB so maybe that is a natural time. As for the figs, surprising to me there are quite a few trees in town, one would think the weather is not quite right for them, but they don't seem to mind.

I hope the Summer school went well? Lots of new young minds led from the straight and narrow into studying string theory? -cvj If you come and visit to give us a seminar early in the semester, maybe there’ll be some figs for you to try….

For some reason I am used to fig jams having a touch of anise in it, but that is an acquired taste I'm sure.
