My first time

They're everywhere: at the supermarket, at the farmer's market, in the office... All I've seen for the past week are figs! I have never had a fresh fig in my life – they are not a very typical Finnish fruit. I've only ever had the dried, sticky, brown ones that look more like mushrooms than fruit. But today, in honour of this Indian summer we got for the weekend, I had fresh figs for breakfast on our sunny balcony!

I'm not sure I love figs yet – they were a bit bland – but they were the most beautiful thing on the table, for sure.
