Simple Pleasure: Fig + Olive

It seems a little early in the season for figs, but there they were at Whole Foods, beckoning to me. I'm a bit of a fig fanatic. Give me a perfectly ripe, soft fat juicy fig that is bursting with its own honey-juices...well, these guys weren't quite there yet but like I said it's early in the season. Unpacking my groceries late after rehearsal, somehow the combination of the figs with olives seemed just right. I popped a fig in my mouth, then an olive. Glorious sweet/savory combination! So I sliced them up, drizzled a little olive oil just to gild the lily, and enjoyed this heavenly little midnight snack.
