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.

I like the Trader Joe's guacamole (which freezes well), but I didn't really like their frozen avocados either.

Damn I miss Trader Joe's.

Not one near you? Urbpan has them up in Boston.

Yeah, well Boston is a real city.

West Hartford has a new one, but that's an hour or so away. But the Willi Food Coop just moved into their new digs, and they sure are snazzy. Of course, they're twice as expensive as TJ's. Sigh.
