I love figs - most of mine go to the birds and the squirrels and I just eat a few. I don't can or anything - I make up a refrigerator jam with some of them but mostly I like them straight off the tree! My friend Cindy doesn't live here in Mississippi - so different Cindy, but that would have been crazy funny! <BR/><BR/>I feel so honored you thought my recipe worthy of sharing - it was really good but I sure hope they like it. <BR/><BR/>Please come and visit again soon!!Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-20746042484942293142009-01-11T15:13:00.000-06:002009-01-11T15:13:00.000-06:00I will never understand the rudeness of some peopl...I will never understand the rudeness of some people. I grow elephant ears and cannas, but have to dig up the bulbs every Fall. I store them in my basement and eagerly await Spring. I indulge myself with only one hibiscus...I have to lug it onto my enclosed sun porch every year before Winter rears its ugly head. I used to can whole fig preserves when I lived in Mississippi. I also made the "strawberry" variety, but my favorites, by far, were the golden syrup, plump, whole ones. Do you have a local recipe for them? I am afraid my recipe was lost in one of my moves over the years. You mentioned your friend Cindy. By chance, did her maiden name begin with H and her previous married name an R? I am thinking of my beautiful cousin in Woolmarket. Of course, I realize Cindy is not an uncommon name. If she is not your best friend...she would be, if you knew her! Smiles. As for the schnitzel, I live in an area heavily populated with German descendents. I look forward to trying your recipe and will pass it on to my friends up here. I told my sister (D'Iberville) about your site and will be sending her the link today.

It's hard to keep 'em here because we do have a couple of freezes every winter (followed by 70 degree temps) but they generally do come back. I love having some figs - mine is still a baby, just a few years old but there's plenty for me to eat if I get them before the birds and the squirrels do. They usually get to them faster than I do, really that's okay too. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you like the schnitzel! I love the cracker crumbs - it's just a bit different and real easy. Wow your dinner sure sounds yummy! I did green beans with mine too but with a green side salad.Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577954446038205157.post-68606759755128194762009-01-09T00:23:00.000-06:002009-01-09T00:23:00.000-06:00I'd say you're not the rude one.

Turn about's fair play I say.<BR/>I made your pork schnitzel tonight. CD loved it. It was really good and a lot simpler than the recipe that I've fixed before. I made a German soup and potato salad with some home grown canned green beans. Very good German supper, thanks for the recipe. <BR/>I am so envious of your flowers and I would love to have a fig tree. Do you have any tropical lookin' plants?rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991033457024982008noreply@blogger.com
