Frozen avocados - nothing like the real thing

[bunrab]

Trader Joe's had bags of frozen avocado halves, and I was missing avocados, so I bought a bag. Ugh. Defrosted frozen avocados are green. Other than that, they bear no resemblance in taste, odor, or texture, to real avocados. Oh well.

Finished reading:
Consolation for an Exile - Caroline Roe - latest in the Isaac of Girona series
Fiddlers - Ed McBain - 87th Precinct Series; rather predictable
Thud - Terry Pratchett - not his funniest, nor cleverest, but even mediocre Pratchett is funny

Decided I wasn't in the mood for:
Straight into Darkness - Faye Kellerman - set in 1920's Germany, not part of her series. I decided I don't feel like reading something that dark.

Um. Good to get back into the regular band rehearsals at Bel Air, after a snow week and a holiday week. Now I must return to dentist to get my crown affixed. Royal teeth, that's me.

We buy TJs frozen avocadoes to make guac or (more often) omelettes.

I suppose if you're gonna mash them and cook them, then the texture issue isn't as much of an issue. But it still didn't *taste* like avocado to me. (I was making sliced avocado and swiss cheese sandwiches.)
