This is Nigella's recipe---she assures us "it gussies up cold leftover turkey;
adds balance, mellow warmth and tang to any plain wintry dish; a good
whole meal on days when you just feel fleshed-out."

I love anything with Blue Cheese.

My office had a party today, and someone brought figs wrapped in bacon, with some kind of cheese and almonds stuffed inside.

I’d never had anything like it. Does anyone have a recipe

I think it would be nice. Goat cheese seems to work well with root vegetables.

I’m making this famous Mississippi Roast this weekend - Sam Sifton at the Times has been promoting it this week. Dragging out my old slow cooker crockpot for the event.

Unfortunately, I’m not cooking this Xmas - spending it away with friends at a very old inn in PA.
