MawMaw's friend Loretta loves quotes. The quotes are dedicated to her in rewards of sharing this wonderful and very moist fig cake.........
You can list neither all the virtues of fine flour, nor all its uses, how often it serves the baker and the cook. -MARTIAL, A.D. 40-103
I call a fig, a fig: a spade, a spade.
-Menander, 342-292 B.C.
Plato was often referred to as a "fig lover" because of his extreme fondness for these succulent morsels. The ancients believed that figs, one of the oldest cultivated fruits, brought pleasant dreams and should be eaten before dinner when the mouth is at its purest.!!! |
