Gardening is fun. Like others (below) had some odd shaped veggies over the years.

Another reason to hate sweet potatoes:

And yams

You just describe ME eating a tomato! In the summer when I am harvesting from my garden I will often pick one, rinse it with the garden hose and chomp right into Big Red.

I pictured you as much older then that!

The big ones are supposedly better for taquitos. Not for guacamole.
And yeah the flavor is definitively different!
My uncle used to bite the skin to peel the bigger ones, then bite them directly like an apple XD

At the store
Me: Those aren't the avocados you're looking for
Them: We don't care we want guacamole
Me: It won't taste right
Them: Let us decide
They have no taste buds. 2 extremely large avocados were turned into guacamole and it was gone in no time

NOW.. thats a proper restaurant! Pre-made guacamole is usually diluted in either milk or cream with lemon. Changing the taste.
Fresh Guacamole is the way to go!

Now you know where to eat at UNI

Nope ... I still stand by my statement . Bacon is the way to go

Bacon is always the answer !

Even if there is no question!

Mediterranean luncheon munchie time...!!!!! View attachment 191119

Have you been spying in my kitchen again Tonight's dinner salad, hummus, falafel, pita, assorted veggies and maybe with any luck a glass of wine

 

[Figgy1]

You're witty in the middle of the DAY woman!

Fixed that for you

With the exception of the wine... you have completely eliminated any desire I have to go there for dinner. But, heck, somebody's got to eat that stuff. Just so long as it isn't me.

Not bad for anywhere, considering the level of service. The guacamole person comes your our table and made a custom batch with whatever you want in it.

That would really appeal to me, too.

 

[MinnieM123]

Thank you, but it was morning--5:39 AM, to be precise. I was already up for an hour prior to that. Technically, the middle of the night is around 3 AM or so, and I was sleeping then.

Yikes! Talk about a garden freak show!

What about bacon in guacamole? Now that might be a winning combo!

I beg your pardon.

A gentleman never goes down that AGE topic with a lady.

@MinnieM123 Are you sure you don't want to come visit tomorrow....we are getting a big snow storm. By mid Friday we should have 12 to 18 inches.

And just when we had lost all the snow. Here is the field Kapono and I walk past. Beautiful with no snow.

Assuming that I was a "gentleman" was your first mistake.

Speaking of which, lately I have been making that a habit. Brief background, I mentioned having had an accident a few years back that involved my right leg. Short description, I completely severed my Quad muscle and associated nerve endings. Some of those nerves were not able to regenerate so I have a free range of motion in my knee when my leg moves forward. What that means is that movements that my leg make that would normally be automatically dealt with via nerves and brain do not send signals anymore. That is why walking down hill or down stairs is cause for concern. If I don't consciously flex the necessary muscles require to keep my knee from popping forward, it just goes out ahead of me which many times will cause me to lose my balance and make me try, sometimes unsuccessfully, to recover from it. A few weeks ago I bought a new pair of shoes, I won't mention the name because I don't want to get sued, and have had 4 such events that I hadn't had in probably 3 years previous. Of those 4 events I was only able to recover from 1 of them and the other three resulted in my falling forward in full face plant fashion. Happened twice last week. Once while walking in the Soarin queue at WDW and once again on some un-level ground in Universals IoA.

At least this time I was able to notice what happened previous to my fall. These shoes have super traction, so that when they make contact with a solid surface will stop instantly. That is a good thing when you are trying to stop, but, not if you are mid-stride, in order to recover I need to physically lift both feet off the ground at the same time. Because I am unable to do that, I fall forward. If the nerves in that leg had been active, it would have sent the signal immediately to the brain and the appropriate muscles would have reacted to prevent the fall. Having to think it out is too slow and therefore the needed action is delayed enough to create the situation. Tomorrow I will be searching for a new pair of shoes and these will become golf shoes where traction is desired.

End of sad, sad story!

Sorry about your leg issue.
Occasionally face planting out of the blue definitely wouldn't be fun, to say the least.
Have you looked into some sort of leg brace?
Maybe there's something out there that could help compensate for the deficiencies in your muscles and nerves to keep your knee from movin' in ways it shouldn't, yet still afford you a decent to full-ish range of motion.
I personally have no clue about that, but, just a thought.
