slimcado?




I picked up a "green skinned avocado" at the grocery store - it was HUGE and same price as the other avocados. It was hard as a rock and when I got home I noticed that the sticker said "Slimcado-half the fat of regular avocados" OK.....

I waited four days until it had softened
It looked pretty normal on the inside - tasted it and it was pretty blah.
But I jazzed it up with some home grown tomatoes, serrano, cilantro, salt and garlic for really really good guacamole. BUT it was more liquidy than normal because the slimcado has a high water content. One avocado made a pretty large amount of guac. Will stick with my normal avocados though.

easy sushi



easy sushi rolls = Win!
I will be making these more as the weather is warming up!! yum
This is a good link for making sushi rice. the key is in the vinegar..


My ingredient list was : Nori (seaweed) sheets, sushi rice, cucumber, carrot, avocado, wasabi, crab sticks, green onion. Soy sauce for dipping...
I've only tried it a few times now, but it is really fun.
Also, in no way can mine compare to eating out: Matsu has been good to me thus far
