WEEK 32 and 33: Fig Newtons and Pineapple Ice Cream

A friend of mine at work has a fig tree and hates figs, so he finally got wise and decided to give them to people instead of letting them go uneaten. He told me he likes fig newtons, so I told him to bring in some fresh figs and I'll make him the figgy cookies!
