I’m not writing an ode. Not my thing. But I do love avocado. It makes just about everything better. My sandwich today (because brace yourselves – I MADE MY LUNCH TODAY) would have been a little dry and boring were it not for the delicately green slices of avocado I added. Perfectly ripe, perfectly wonderful. I think a plain turkey and mayo sandwich can be pretty great (I need to get out more), but not so much when the bread is on its way out. I think my bread is mutant bread. I bought it in early-ish February (it’s sell-by date was Feb 17th), and it has lived in two pantries (we moved it from the house), and it has yet to go moldy or stale. It’s getting a tiny bit dry and crumbly, but I wouldn’t call it stale yet. And if it’s mutant bread, well, I haven’t noticed any mutant effects on me, so I’m not going to worry about it. I’m already putting too much thought into this bread.
Avocado. I love it on sandwiches, I love it in salads, I love it in all things Mexican. I ask for extra if I’m ordering something that already comes with avocado (and if something on a menu comes with avocado, I’m almost guaranteed to order it), and I ask for it to be added if it doesn’t already come with it. I’m terribly disappointed if a sandwich shop doesn’t carry it. That’s just wrong. I have no idea what season is avocado season (oh, hey, it’s year-round depending on where they come from – hooray!), but I foresee lots of avocado in my kitchen.
I am a pretty pretty princess, and I can have more avocado if I want it.

Pretty much all of your recent blog posts point to your need to come to California – we have really cheap avocados, lots and lots of sun and warmth with no humidity, spring came here a month ago, and we had pie on pie day. Win-win-win-win!
