Lake Erie Creamery makes the best goat cheese I have ever had so I didn't feel the need to doctor it up with herbs like many recipes do, I just added some cracked pepper. I slit the figs down the side, stuffed some cheese in, wrapped them in bacon and put them on a skewer. After five minutes or so on the grill they were warm and the bacon was crisp. These things were heavenly.
A few things to keep in mind: Most people eat 1000+ meals a year. Don't stifle your creativity out of fear of ruining one meal. The world of beer and ale is far more diverse in flavor than that of wine and every bit as important with food. Eat locally produced, seasonal foods whenever possible and purchase those items directly from the farmer or producer. Eat, drink and be happy, life is short.

Figs and goat cheese and bacon and fire
Here is another simple and fantastic idea. Figs with goat cheese are a common combination that are often served with prosciuitto. Since I have a abundance of homemade bacon, I thought I would wrap them in that and throw them on the grill.
