avocado fries

life is officially pretty excellent now.

no matter the six new pimples that have come to visit,

or that comcast has increased our cable bill without warning,

that sam cooke kicks more seed out of his cage than he actually eats,

that we're supposed to get freezing this week,

that my iphone has avocado in the crevices

or even that i've been singing the weeds theme song for three days.
straight.

none of it matters.

because avocado fries have come into my life.

and all is right with the world.

a huge thank you to angela for sending me this link on friday.

apparently the ny times was in on this phenomenon as well.

but ignorant moi had never heard of avocado fries.

i bought an avocado on friday night.

and by sunday afternoon i was ready.

ready to change my life.

oh and i changed the recipe a bit as well...

of course the star was still front and center

but the coatings changed a bit..

and the result

also included a dip.
all fries need a dip.
a vehicle that enhances the fry.
ketchup would never have sufficed here.
i went another direction.
it made passing go easier than getting a community chest card.
please try these and i insist you try the dip as well.
you're welcome.
