The Last Avocado

The only thing about getting a bag of avocados on sale is that they need to be eaten rather quickly. But this is the last you'll see of avocados here at least for a little while. We started with a big salad, had a couple leftover spring rolls, then had these sandwiches. Pumpernickel bread with Vegenaise, hummus, avocado, cucumber and lettuce. For dessert we had a really simple carob pudding that Darlene whipped up. Melt 3/4 c. carob chips in the microwave, then add that to a food processor with a 10 oz. package silken tofu and 3 Tbs. maple syrup and process until smooth.

Yummy! Maybe I'll have that, as I have some ripe avocadoes that I need to use up. By the way, I've added you to my blog roll
because I love your blog. :)

there's nothing wrong with having lots of avocadoes and needing to use them all quickly! woo hoo!

That last avocado looks like it's found it's perfect last meal!

I absolutely LOVE avocadoes, plain or fancy, on their own or mixed with other ingredients. This looks yummy...
I tried to visit earlier but your blog wouldn't load. Perhaps some problems with blogger, I tried another one, same thing. Worked fine this time.
Hope all is well Darlene and Chris,
BFN, G :)

Every so often for a treat I make BLATs (my version of a BLT). I use vegenaise, veggie bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomatoes on wheat bread. Very tasty.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. And Karen, I can't wait for the first tomatoes from the farmer's market (or better yet from our garden) so we can make us some BLTs or BLATs with tempeh bacon.
