With superb sourdough and cheeses (as well as salamis) as Part I of the food pasalubongs, how could there not be a Part II with fruit and chocolate. Mrs. MM’s luggage included several containers of black mission figs and other larger green/purple figs, all perfectly ripe by the time they arrived in Manila. Also in the maletas were several utterly stunning pomegranates. The figs and pomegranates made a fantastic still life, and now I ompletely understand why artists always seemed to use still life arrangements of fruit and flowers as the basis for paintings…

I love fresh pomegranates, and particularly deep red, juicy, sweet and succulent pomegranates which are great in desserts, salads or simply to munch on as is…

And from the chocolate section at Whole Foods, three bars of different types of chocolates that we have never tried before. Cheese, cold cuts, bread, figs, pomegranates and chocolate. Yum.
