figs, no one can eat just one. Can they?

As all fresh fig lovers should know, there are two fig seasons each year. There is an early summer fig season and a late summer one. I speak only of N. California.  I don't know the fig growing patterns elsewhere.

Every time I see fresh figs on sale, I buy a pint. As I do so, I resolve to eat just a couple at a time. Figs are loaded with carbs and they spike my glucose levels, even if I inject insulin. One problem is I inject enough insulin for three figs and then I eat the whole pint.

I love love love fresh figs.

Dried figs. Meh. I pass on dried figs.

Thank goddess the second wave of this year's fig season is almost over.

I just gobbled what might have been the best basket of figs I have had this year. I am so glad I did not buy two pints yesterday. Then again, I am going out tonight and I will be walking. I am always taking detours to walk more, to get more steps on my Fit Flex. I could easily detour, before my dinner meeting, and pick up more figs.

I feel my glucose spiking in anticipation.

No one can eat just one fresh fig. Can they?

I just thought of an excuse to buy more figs today:  I have never tried any in my raw green smoothies. I always add some fruit to improve the flavor. Fresh ginger, cinnamon and a fruit, plus greens and water. Yum. I know fresh figs will be awesome in a smoothie, although I am not sure the figs will last until tomorrow. I won't be making a smoothie when I come home from dinner tonight.

Figs. Figs. Figs. The incredible, edible fig.
