Hi, peeps! How´s it going? We´ve been “suicidal” for a couple of days on account of the heavy rain, but now we´ve pulled ourselves together, the sun is out and the weekend is here. Summer is gone though, no doubt about it. And even though I love fall, I prefer it in the mother country, where the temperature is usually 25 and the quinces start ripening.
Nothing to do about it, though. Norway is my adoptive country and I need to make the evenings cosy so I can stand the cold during the day. The other day I invited some interpreter colleagues over for some wine, gossip and a bite. We were two Romanians, a Russian and a Tamil. Plus my Vietnamese husband. It was a lovely evening, we shared frustrations and stories, we laughed until our stomach hurt and we ate a lot of goodies.
This one was my favourite- baked figs with brie, drizzled with honey afterwards. 10 minutes in the oven and voilà, you have something impressive to serve as an appetiser or dessert.

Yep on rainy, dark European days the best solution is to turn to food! 😋 This looks delicious, will try and make it for friends who are coming to visit. Have a wonderful Sunday x
Indeed! Do that! They´re easy and they taste as good as they look! 😉 I prefer yellow figs, though, but you never find them in Norway.
I miss quinces! 🙂
So do I! 😉 We get them at our local grocery store, but they´re often bruised and thus taste funny.
Oh yum! simple and delicious! xxx
It was! 😉 Make sure to try it out next time you´re in Spetses! 😉
