Good morning lovely people, today Iām talking about āØavocadosāØ
ā
- Avocados are like butter but with flavor.
- Avocados are a vegetable that you can spread without needing to cook.
- Avocados are a fat that donāt make you feel guilty.
ā
See I simply adore avocados, I could talk about them for days. I had about 3/4 of one a few hours ago and then tried to run for an hour. Iād argue vehemently that the subsequent emergency bathroom break was entirely unrelated. It was probably the coffee creamer I swirled into my crusty Cusineart drip coffee maker coffee. Something like that, yeah.
ā
Coffee creamer also has fats, but it makes me feel guilty. On my stronger mornings I take my coffee black and when I stray from this pattern I know my will-power is giving out faster than the bulging batteries on my ten year old laptop. In addition, coffee creamer has no where near as much range as avocado, it would be terrible salted and pepperedā¦ or would it?
ā
Swirl a little coffee creamer into your eggs next time you have a little omelette, whip until frothy then pour onto a preheated pan. Glorious! Heavy whipping cream or simply whole milk works just as well for the less daring. Pairs great with your avocado coffee. I havenāt yet to try flavored coffee creamers in my eggs, but they canāt be that badā¦ can they? Report back.
ā
If you donāt like thisā¦ good luck trying to find me and tell me, Iāll be four countries away before this post even hits the inter-webs.

I love it.
I love ordering it instead of paying off my student loans.
Sometimes I get extra toppings just so I'm late on my car payment.
If I get it a couple times a week, I can ensure I'm never able to retire.
Ah, avocado toast.
You taste like the failing economy.
You're the source of all of our problems.
But you're just.
So.
Good.
(Seriously though, I made some this morning with a little sea salt and red pepper flakes, and it's so delicious.)

Although I complimented avocados to the comparison of butter, let it not be thought that I compare them to its detriment. Butter is a culinary masterpiece. Older than all ten of my favorite minerals and far easier to slice. Itās convenient, one can always have butter on hand, in the pantry, in the freezer, in a spare cargo-short pocket.
ā
Although I think the flavor of avocado is far more noticeable than butter, that is a variable. Butters of the fancier variety, the Kerrygolds and Amish rolls of the world, the Salted and the Tillamooks, are going to have a flavor far more appetizing, and more adaptable. You can fry in it, you can put it in your coffee, you can bake with it. Butter easily ranks in the top five of most versatile ingredient, perhaps after flour, sugar, eggs, and milk.
ā
Without butter, how could we have the sugar cookies and gingerbread that make Christmas so memorable? With what would we top the sourdough and bubbly sandwich loaves that beckon you on the beach? Butter is the glue that holds the baking world together, and although many things can substitute, none can replace.

Per request of the lovely @EATGRAEPS. If you would like me to ramble on about something new, I demand payment in kind. Post about the extent to which you simply adore stained glass windows. Tag me, and I will see you again.
Thank you, lovely friends.

Hello lovely people, this is not a recommendation in regular sense, but more so an excuse to ramble about sparkling water.
ā
I donāt like sparkling water. Yet here I am, with a shiny green can of Lime LaCroix perched on a feminist poetry book beside me. āWhy?ā You ask. Because everyone in my family drinks it, and I on the rare occasion I cannot be bothered to fill up a glass, if nothing else graces the fridge, a sparkling water is what Iāll take.
ā
I confess, I actually am a fan of many flavors of Waterloo. I donāt drink or like soda much, but it reminds me the most of a soda, it tastes the least like the spicy medicinal whizz that is LaCroix. Bubly is somewhere in the middle, the carbonation levels are alright, but the flavors are here and there. Bonus points for the pronunciation of the name though.
I got sidetracked, but my story continues. I drank at least one every day or two, which (paired with a brief year-long stint in North Africa) led to the unfortunate accident of my family being convinced I enjoyed bubbly beverages large and small. So for my birthday, a sparkling water machine it was.
ā
Now, here I am with this device. A soda stream capable of (what seems to me) industrial level carbonation. Do I love carbonated beverages? Not quite. Will I become a connoisseur just for the bit of it? Absolutely.
Sprinkle recommendations for things I should bubble in the comments and report back I will.
See you again soon lovely people.
