What was on my mind

Posted by ChroniclesCapersCanards on 7:30 PM
Last weekend, my mom and I went to the mall and she found a short rib sauce for her slow cooker and she made that last night. The recipes was for short ribs over mashed potatoes so, I took the mashed potatoes portion band she handled the ribs. I made homemade mashed potatoes with just plain old Idaho potatoes but I put some of the short rib juice in there to flavor them at the end. Finally, my mom made sauteed spinach and carrots with time as a side dish and they were very good. She likes to make that a lot because she had it at a restaurant in Hartford but it was actually on a pizza. It was a like thin sliced carrot and spinach pizza and now she makes it without the pizza. Personally, I love to have spinach cooked down with; red pepper flakes, garlic, shallots and a little feta cheese. I came up with it one day when I was home alone and wanted to have a healthy lunch. I love a lot of garlic so I instantly grabbed that and since I had no proteins I just grabbed a tub of spinach. The recipe is actually really simple, I put some oil in a pan and brown up garlic and shallot, then I add; salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flake. Finally, I put the spinach in until it is cooked down and add toasted almonds. Today, I was driving into school with my mom and she said she wanted to go to Figs this weekend. She went a few weeks ago and said that it was very good. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me any reviews or what they might serve to see if I want to try it. I haven’t heard anything about it from anyone but my mom and she really isn't a great critic, she doesn't ever like to say negative things. We once went to this really bad restaurant in Brookfield and when my dad asked if she liked it all she said was that the menu looked very nice. So, I was wondering if anyone could help me get an idea of what Figs serves and how the actual food is. Connor L.

Figs is remarkably popular, a bit on the pricey side, especially for the pizzas, and not especially customer friendly, in my experience. The decor is fine. It's a cozy space, nicely put together. The pizzas are good. I like the potato, bacon and cheddar pie with rosemary and another with fig jam, arugula, blue cheese (I think) that is also good. I have not eaten anything there but the pizza, but many people rave and the place is always packed.
Did you end up there? Let me know what you thought.
