"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |

With your hands, pull California dried figs gently into their original
shape, smoothing out wrinkles and perking up stems. With a sharp,
small knife, slit the smoothest side of the figs. Stuff them plump
and full with any of the following goodies:
* half of mint or wintergreen cream patties * half of chocolate
covered mint patties * salted nuts * toasted walnut meats *
marshmallow, slit, with piece of chocolate tucked into it * wedge of
candied ginger * ground nuts mixed with honey * fondant * ground or
chopped salted peanuts mixed with peanut butter * blanched almonds,
dried slowly in oven * candied cherry * chunk of candied pineapple
Arrange these good-to-eat and good-to-look-at figs on pretty tray.
Place candle into a stem-clipped fig, which will serve happily as
candle stick. Conversation piece -- and piŠce de resistance!
