Fascinating, foodilious figs found on the island.

Fascinating, foodilious figs found on the island. We have brown turkey figs, lemon figs, pound figs, and sugar figs. Rumor has it there is even a Kadota fig tree hiding in the island. Figs, figs, figs. Now before coming to Ocracoke I think the only fig I had eaten was a fig Newton and I did love those.
I found this cookbook a couple of years ago and it had so many wonderful recipes to enjoy using a variety of figs. There are recipes, horticultural advice, preservation instructions, and fun fig facts. Stop in and see a copy at Books to be Red.

Anyone know what shelves that look like this means

Anyone know what shelves that look like this means for my shop? We will hope that we are working hard in an overabundance of caution for what Hurricane Isaias will bring. Hoping it turns in to a glorified mullet blow.

Happy to have Natasha Trethewey's new memoir, Memo

Happy to have Natasha Trethewey's new memoir, Memorial Drive in stock. Ms. Trethewey is a former Poet Laureate of the United States under President Obama. Add to that that is is a Pulitzer Prize winner for her poetry collection Native Guard and you know you will have a worthy read. Better than all of those prestigious awards is the fact that she is related to a wonderful young man that lives here in Ocracoke.
From the cover of the book, "A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of tragedy."

My boy is headed to work at Jason's Restaurant tonight. Head out there for dinner when you are on Ocracoke and ask for Kyle. He is a cutie even if I do say so myself.
