| Higos en Almibar Oil o Canvas 11" x 14" $650 |
My father liked to cook. One of my preferred deserts was figs in syrup. I truly loved it!
The last conversation I had with my father over the phone was in February 1991. I was planning a
visit to BA in May of that year and I wanted to do a road trip with him to visit the town where he was born. At that moment he was not interested in such a plan but very much wanted me to know that he was making several jars of "higos en almibar" for me.
When I expressed my surprise that he was working on it so much in advance, he replied:
"I may not be here by then. I just want you to know that there will be few jars ready in the kitchen for you to enjoy them."
He died in mid April of that year. When I arrived
to his house, I went straight to the kitchen and, as he said, there they were-- three jars of "higos en almibar" in the pantry silently waiting for me ...
