Avocado




i am going to do a whole post on the glorious and buttery avocado.

we have a friend here whose mom lives in california and has a .....wait for it....avocado tree. do what? yes, an avocado TREE. a tree that bears avocado. lots of them. every day waiting to be picked and so succulently devoured. she was so kind to send our friend LOTS of them. and that meant we got a whole lot too. A HUGE THANK YOU to said friend.

in order to celebrate the first day i did NOT have to wear a wool coat outside, i made chili. i know this makes no sense because chili is often associated with winter and cold weather. but, i did. so anyway, i opened one of these said gorgeous avocados and my mouth has never tasted anything so buttery and delicious. i made the BEST guacamole i have ever eaten and i can not wait to have an avocado sandwhich for lunch tomorrow and avocado on crackers and avocado on salad and avocado on a spoon.

  1. Post more about avocados...teach me!! I never can figure out how to pick a good one or when they are bad. I also don't really know how to get the avocado out. I must try your dip some time.
