Gospel Dessert Week 3

This week's gospel involved the parable of the fig tree that bore no fruit.  The orchard owner was going to tear it out, but the gardener offered to give it special care to give it another chance to bear fruit.

Our dessert was these yummy (and fruitful) fig cookies.  I think they are traditionally Italian Christmas cookies, but they turned out more like the apotheosis of the Fig Newton.  So good!

Which reminds me, it's been quite a week for desserts, considering it's Lent and all!








Last week we had cream puffs for St. Joseph's Day. I think that's an Italian tradition.

And Monday was the Annunciation.  I like to do angel food cake for this, but I just couldn't manage it.  So we had ice cream!
