I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I scrambled eggs with TJ's Hatch Chile Salsa and tumbled half a chopped avocado in near the end.

Oh, nom!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Mmm, avocado!

Cass! There is a new TJs product that has your name all over it! On Friday my TJs was giving out samples of their new Roasted Tomatillo Salsa. It's in the refrigerated section. So good. Since I was making ground turkey tacos that night anyway I bought some to go with. DH just about finished off the tub then and there.

PS it pairs well with avocado

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I already tried statistics -- if 95% of the population is vaccinated, and 97% of vaccinated people are immune, then you'd expected about 36% of the people who get the disease to be people who were vaccinated

Uh-huh, sounds like somebody is in the pocket of Big Stats...

Just remember that when you are arguing with a fact-denier on the interwebs, you aren't really trying to change their mind, you're trying to prevent any undecided people reading the conversation from being persuaded to their POV.

This is a very good point.

Lady of the Manners tea + cream and sweetener = so good.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Damn. I had just convinced myself I didn't need to go to TJs this week and then started reading this thread.

Doing my grocery shopping today despite snow (I can hear the snowplows clearing my parking lot right now), I may have to detour by TJ's to try that tomatillo salsa.

cream-top yogurt. Blueberry-cardamom.

Anne, what brand is that? It sounds teh yum.

Avocado and eggs is my OTP food pair. In egg salad is genius. I also slice it up to put inside omelets. There's no way to go wrong with avocado/eggs. Add cream cheese mixed with salsa in the omelet, my tongue goes in paroxyms of delight. If anyone is looking for more avocado recipes, I've got one for making a pesto sauce with it for spaghetti. It tastes so fresh, it makes a great spring recipe (it's even in the name).

-t, I'm glad to hear that; I've got that one on my wish list for my next order.

Wow, Sail, that sounds awesome. Can you post? I don't eat much pasta, but I'm always looking for a good pesto.

Went for a long run with my sister & BIL & niece this morning, which was very nice. Now I need to do laundry and pay bills but I'd much rather laze around the internets...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

J has gone off to a car event in Sweden. He managed to get the car company to buy him a ticket two days earlier than the event, so he is first stopping by Holland, to see my bro and SiL. They just moved from their house into a brand new penthouse condo, which overlooks the harbor. I'm so glad he's getting to see them and also jealous as hell.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

A coworker at the house where I do all the lovely, healthy menu planning suggested including avacado in things on the grounds of yummy + healthy. I think I will suggest that since she does the shopping, she buy avacados whenever she sees a decent price, and they can add them to salads or whatever when I am not there. Avacados, while delicious, give me a tummy ache so they tend to be in a category of things I simply do not think about.
