It was about seven years ago that I started to like avocados. I know. I was in the minority. Wouldn't touch guacamole. Didn't understand the draw of "nature's butter" on sandwiches. It truly puzzled me. The BF can take it or leave it.
Now I love them and can't get enough. Will plan entire meals around a ripe avocado I have hanging out in the kitchen. When my sister visits, avocado toast for breakfast. Every. Single. Day. Guacamole? [Ed. note: The late George Carlin used to say, "That sounds like something you yell when you're on fire."] All the time. And god help me if I don't have spare avocados to top tacos. Years ago I fell in love with this warm Indian spiced avocado dip from Heidi Swanson's cookbook Super Natural Every Day. She is also known for her blog 101 Cookbooks. Serve this dip at room temperature, or warm with sesame rice crackers, fresh veggies, toasted naan, pita or tortilla chips. My current favorite scooper is parsnip chips from Trader Joe's. Adapted from: Super Natural Every Day Number of servings: 2 cups Ingredients

I love reading your blog posts. Your writing is delightful, and your radiant, fun personality shines through! Earlier this week I, too, had avocado toast — Every. Single. Day. Til avacadoes ran out. So yummy! I will probably never look at an avocado again and not think of George Carlin after reading what he said. 😄

Heidi!--I don't know why I was so late to the game--you're right: who knew?. Late bloomer I guess;-) I remember your daughter LOVING avocados as a young child and I just marveled at seeing that. I hope you get a chance to make this avocado dip this weekend. I really loved it and hope you do too! xoox
