It's Dinner Time!

Well, I've been feeling pretty tired recently and for now, meat is off the menu. Well, most meat. I don't think I could go cold turkey. So, tonight I decided to make a nice basic salad.

I used green lettuce, mini tomatoes, onion, avacado, a little cheese, and some nama ham to munch on while i cut everything up. So, salad is pretty easy to make, so I'm not gonna insult anyone by telling you how to cut stuff up. The only thing that might offer some difficultly are the avacados.

Avacados are one of the most delicious foods ever, but they are a little tricky to figure out when to eat. I buy them green and hard. I let them sit in a bowl on the counter until they turn black and get soft to the touch. Not too soft though, becuase if you let them get mushy, then they start to grow and go bad inside. When mine get ripe before I want to eat them, I stick them in the fridge and they last forever, well, for like a week at least. To get the seed out, I thwack it with a big knife and twist it out. To get the seed off the knife, bang the seed on the cutting board with the knife flat.

Then toss all the ingredients together. I season it with dried garlic chips, a little black pepper and a little salt. I made a balsamic vinegar dressing. I use just a tiny bit of oil and tons of vinegar. I like it to make a hole in my stomach when I eat it. Sooo good. You'll also notice that the vinegar will start to break down the avacado and your dressing will get nice and creamy. All in all, a good dinner.

This reminds me of the guacamole you made when I came to visit. That was so good. Thank you.
