That's what I figured after Chris mentioned that apples and figs
remind her of Autumn, so I bought a bag of dried figs and some apples
yesterday. Now I have to decide if I want to make your fig and apple
or Pandora's apple and jam first. Decisions, decisions.

BTW: I made a steak and mushroom pie yesterday that started off as
Boeuf Bourguignon the day before and my pie crust was great! This
time, my butter wasn't as hard and it was a little warmer than it
usually is when I rolled it out and I rolled it out very thin - but it
was super flaky. My pie crust making mojo is back!
