Honey and figs are both considered aphrodisiacs, and the whiskey part of this reminds me of you (not because you drink a lot, but because of the title of your album):

Baked Figs with Honey and Whiskey

Ingredients
1/4 cup hazelnuts
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Scotch or other whiskey
8 large or 12 small Mission figs, stemmed
Butter
Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)

Toast hazelnuts in a 400-degree oven for 5 minutes. Put them in a tea towel and rub them against each other to remove skins. Chop and set aside. Raise oven temperature to 500 degrees F.

Combine honey and Scotch in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring. Turn off heat.

Meanwhile, cut figs in half, lengthwise. Butter a gratin dish large enough to hold all the figs in one layer. Put in figs, cut side up. Drizzle with honey-Scotch mixture. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.

Bake 7 to 10 minutes, depending on size, or just until they soften but are not falling apart. Cool to warm and put 4 to 6 fig halves on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon pan juices over figs. If desired, put a mint sprig in the middle.

Yield: 4 servings

Caveat: I've never made this, and I have no idea how expensive or in season figs are, so it might not be realistic for a potluck. But it looks yummy to me.

Let me be clear that I have no idea in what quantity you drink or do not drink. Somehow although I tried to avoid it, it looks like I'm implying that you're a lush.

Slow-cooked dressing with oysters.

It may not be hip, but I bet it's yum!

Forgot to mention...amro, your recipe sounds divine!

Am I weird because I find garlic an aphrodisiac?

(Of course the rule of thumb is to make sure both of you* consume equivalent amounts of the 'stinking rose'.)
*or 'all of you' depending on what floats your boat

Nix my suggestion. Duh! Slow food = opposite of fast food! I read it too quickly and thought slow-cooker. Lordy.

No, Lori, that works! Anything that took some time, skill, or care to make can be slow food. Slow cookers included.

Thanks, amro -- that sounds delicious. I think the winner is going to be a baked brie with tart dried cherries, brandy, cherry preserves, and pecans, though. Irresistible.

I've always wanted to make mole poblano. It's time-consuming and it has chocolate in it, so I think it fits. That brie sounds divine, though.

Miko, your recipe is going to be a hit. It sounds scrumptious. Are you making some sort of compote with the cherries, brandy, preserves, and pecans, and pouring it over the Brie? I would love the recipe.

I've always wanted to make mole, to, elizard. It's one of my favorite foods, and I love the complexity. I never have made it at home because of the sheer number of ingredients and long cooking time. I wish I had time to do that for this meeting (chocolate and chiles are both aphrodisiac) but it's tonight, and I forgot to start planning until yesterday evening, and today I'm at work! Another time, though.

Here's the cherries and brie recipe, LoriFLA.

Thanks Miko.

For future reference, this cookbook is fabu.
