Figs
I went to a party on Saturday night; not just a regular party but what people used to call a catered affair. Aside from seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in awhile and meeting new people, the highlight was the food.
There were fresh figs there. I'd never eaten a fig outside Newton filling because I've always seen them suspended in jars like fat, round, sweet pickles. These figs were quartered and laid out on a tray. They looked like limes quartered and soaked in wine and they were delicious.
A perfect match for the fresh figs was the St. Andre triple-cream cheese. Not the artisan St. Andre made in some places in the upstate New York and Wisconsin but honest to John Roberts St. Andre from St. Andre. I chatted up the caterer later in the evening and she told me how much it cost to bring in two pounds of St. Andre. I was astonished and realized I'd not be having that cheese again for quite awhile. I finished the platter off instead.

There was much disappointment with the absence of cocktail weenies, I can assure you.
