Bday brekkie with obstacles: I wanted SBEs, but we had no egg cups or spoons to eat them with, so I pivoted to HBEs to put on that delovely sourdough. First one peeled so badly it fell apart, and off into the garbage it went. #strike 1
Second one didn’t end up so well, either, so I generously gave it to my PIC.
Left a slice of Dave’s “best” bread for my trout roe treat in the toaster too long & burnt it to ashes. #strike 2:angry:
The second slice fared ever so slightly better, but still couldn’t quite stand up to the cold cream cheese, and — like most supermarket breads — has an unpleasant sweetness, so Dave’s lame-o bread shall never be bought again. #strike 3
Another taco omelet. This one with taco meat and cheddar, topped with a pickled-pepper queso. Along-side was a chopped veggie salad in vinaigrette (avo oil and lime), and the last glass of gazpacho for the year.
Oh, I cut out the brown spots, too. Who wants to eat that? I’m glad someone finally let me in on the “secret” to buy them green and ripen them at home. Once ripe you can throw 'em in the fridge for about a week.
I do that, but always buy two when I only need one, just in case one ends up being inedible. Thus, typically there is extra avo around on a regular basis.
You guys are so disciplined! I buy a bag of 5 at a time Not so much now since I’m getting mostly root vegetables in my CSA, but in the spring when I’m up to my eyeballs in spring mix the avos and lettuce are combined in salads or stuffed in pitas. Avocadoes are perhaps my favourite food group
Ground cherries are easy to grow if you have any accessible plot of dirt and will reseed themselves till kingdom come. I tried growing them once and they came back for 3 years. Not my fave but ymmv
We have 4 black thumbs between us and not really a lot to grow anything. I also don’t really eat them all that often — plenty of fruit I prefer over them
