fabulous figs

Fresh figs are one of those foods that I detested as a child, and am loving more and more as I mature.  With fresh figs in the market now I am doing a fig dinner:  for appetizers I cut figs in half, put on a dab of blue cheese, wrap in a strip of proscuitto and roast at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes; main course is an arugula, pickled onion, figs, Parmesan, and grilled chicken salad; dessert is cut figs caramelized in honey and butter, then topped with creme fraiche.
