Avocado recipes
#11
Just in Rapid City, SD and went to "On the Border" for lunch and we had fried Avacado, thin wedges dipped in tempora and deep-fried with a mustard/horseradish sauce and salsa, VERY good. On my mixed plate, I had a half avacado with pulled chicken and cheese dipped in tempora and fried. SOOOOOOOOOO goog!

This one has a zillon calories but it's worth every one of them.
Avacado Pie
1 graham cracker crust or make your own with 1 cup graham crackers, 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 to 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
Filling: 1 large avacado, 1 - 14 oz can sweetened condenced milk & 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. Put all in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour into pie shell.
Topping: 1 cup sour cream, 2 T milk. Blend and pour on top. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Chill over night.
I have fun not telling anyone what kind of pie it is and let them guess after they've tried it. Most of the time they never figure it out. Even people who don't like avacados usally like the pie.

Drizzle with olive oil.

You need to hire 10-year-old to climb that tree for you. Sure wish I could get some - ours are $1.50 for tiny ones. When I make guacamole, using 4 avocados and 2 tomatoes, I can eat the whole batch by myself. They're good for you, I tell myself.

No great avocado recipes from me, sorry! I have been to Roxanne's in Carpinteria. So glad to see another fabric store go in after the Treasure Hunt closed. Nice fabric- very pricey. I didn't see anything under $11.99/yd. They had some beautiful refurbished Featherweights in there.
