Avocados
We’re totally obsessed with avocados lately. Guacamole at least once a week at our house. I can’t eat enough tortillas either. Man, I love eating food that’s wrapped in those chewy white rounds. Especially leftover guacamole and sliced turkey. Oh, yum.
A couple of weeks ago (still working out of my February 2008 Bon Appetit until my new subscription kicks in [thanks Aunt Joan!]) I made the Asian Spinach Salad with Orange and Avocado. An attempt to get avocado into the week in a new way…I couldn’t find baby spinach at the supermarket, so I just got regular spinach and turned the cold salad into a warm salad by wilting the spinach right before serving. We happen to be going through a ginger addiction as well, so this salad had all our favorites. Luca was skeptical when he saw the ingredients, but was begging for more at the end of the meal.
I love Bon Appetit’s website!! We’re starting to work on one of those “tastebooks” – have you seen it??? Basically you put all your recipes in, and you can order a binder with everything printed out and matching! I started to do one of these the old fashioned way (by gluing them all in a binder) but it’s gotten so out of control that I’ve given up on it. So there’s some work to put favorite recipes that aren’t on epicurious in, but at least all our favorites are in one spot instead of the random scary pile of recipes. haha 🙂
I think Delirium might be worth it depending how much it costs… I think we only paid like $25 or something to see it so it wasn’t too bad. It’s totally different from other Cirque Du Soleil shows though… no clowns or comedy, and there’s a lot of singing and that kind of performance instead. It’s more like a concert with some acrobatics thrown in. Some parts of it were cool but I didn’t walk away feeling like I had just seen a cirque du soleil show. It actually came to Raleigh AGAIN this year.. when are they going to put something new on tour!? seriously! haha. 🙂
That’s so funny about Brigadoon… man that was a bad movie! haha 🙂 Though now I want to run through fields of heather if I ever go to Scotland.. LOL 🙂
