Fig and Walnut spread

Our neighbor gave us 9 figs. We had our fruit bowl full of fruit and Hungry Dad is not crazy about figs, so I'd be the only one eating all the figs along with the rest of the fruit. I decided to make a spread that we all could enjoy over bread, crackers, or, as shown above, english muffins.
I took the recipe from a French book I have that I'll post later.

Fish Rice

Being a coastal country, it shouldn't be a surprise that fish is one of the best things you can eat in Portugal. And that is what I make sure I eat a lot to compensate for the lack of it during the rest of the year.
While at the beach, we picked a bucket of mussels, right off the rocks that are covered during high tigh. Then we went to the market and bought fresh fish to make a fish rice. We put the mussels in the rice with the rest of the fish and it was simply delicious.

Lunch at the Farm

Our farm has a traditional outdoor oven. These ovens, regionally, are used to bake bread or cook meats and potatoes. We always like to make a special meal and enjoy our oven when we are there.
We cooked a chicken and ribs, white and sweet potatoes. Served with a cucumber and tomato salad, local bread, and finished with watermelon and Honeydew.
