a taste of heaven

after a couple of weeks of simple diet recovering from a surgical operation, I saw these fresh figs in the supermarket today and decided to reward myself at dinner tonight with a green salad of fresh sweet figs, a couple of slices of prosciutto parma ham, shavings of parmesan cheese, and a light dressing of balsamico vinegar, dijon mustard and extra-virgin olive oil

ahhhh.... what lovely bliss :-)

unfortunately, most of our local figs are either non-edible or unpalatable (only knew 1 edible species)
