We ran out of milk and bread today. Good thing I kept a box of pancake mix in our pantry. It's a just-add-water kind of mix.

I served them with over easy eggs, Jay's cafe latte, and fruits --- blueberries, golden kiwi, and figs.

Speaking of figs, when I got a pack of this fruit at the grocery store days ago, the mister gave me a certain look.

Hehehe.

It was either he was not thrilled or not happy about it, or just maybe he was teasing me.

You see, organically grown figs are pollinated by female wasps, and mostly they're trapped inside the fruit because they also lay eggs inside the flower that develops into a fruit.

But fear not, the wasp dissolves with the development of the fruit. Fig trees produce an enzyme called ficin and it digests and dissolves protein, such as the body of the wasp. All of these nourish the fig.

Yum!

Hahahaha.

By the way, figs are a good source of calcium, potassium and prebiotics (for your gut health). They are also high in fiber that helps flush excess sodium in your gorgeous body.

It was also commonly used as a sweetener in desserts before there was commercial sugar.

A good source of nutrient figs are pollinated by female wasps, and eventually dissolve in the fruit.

Therefore, this fruit is a carnivore.

Isn't it?

That's all for now.

...and I thank you.

P.S. We have a fig tree in our backyard, but it hasn't borne carnivorous fruits yet.
