I am sure you can do it too! Lovely to have you drop by!<BR/><BR/>Rose, thanks for your compliment! Tartlets are just adorable by themselves, aren't they?<BR/><BR/>Lydia, seriously, after seeing your kind words, I am thinking to change its name to "crown". Beautiful suggestion!<BR/><BR/>Pat, oh it's very sweet of you! I always loved to eat dried figs (fresh one not available in my home country). Basically, I love all kind of dried fruit :D<BR/><BR/>Susan, from a gal (you!) who has done hundreds of pizza and calzone, you are way to humble to say that, hehee.<BR/><BR/>Freya, thanks darling! Yes, the fact really amases me :D<BR/><BR/>Angie, be my guest, my buddy!<BR/><BR/>Monisha, will see you at the round-up! You will be a fab host!<BR/><BR/>Seema, oh I am so flattered! You make my day *hug*<BR/><BR/>Sher, thanks for your sweet words!<BR/><BR/>Windwhisperer, I actually prefer dried fig to the fresh. But the dried one can't be too dry... oh i am so anal!<BR/><BR/>Calli, now I am scribbing down on my note pad ... X cookies from Calli, can I also add your mole sauce and sumo rice? :P<BR/><BR/>Chris, thanks sweetie!<BR/><BR/>Del, thanks for dropping by! Oh I take your question as compliment, but I am not a chef :D<BR/><BR/>Saffron *baci*<BR/><BR/>Tanna, you are so sweet!<BR/><BR/>Passinate eater, is it that easy for pineapple?!

You can just plant the top of a pineapple in the ground without seed! And of course, you eat the pomegranate seeds. I had no idea about figs!
