Hi everyone! Before I forget ... Happy Birthday scrappert! I'm having a slow day here today ... just puttering around ... doing laundry and taking out the garbage ... woo hoo! The dd's and I are going over to my mum's later to hang the piece of art we gave her for her birthday and to have roast beef dinner at the residence with her ... they make Yorkshire Pudding and everything! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I'm not a fan of avocado. Do you love avocado? Avocado toast? Guac? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

No, I don't like avocados. And since the W5 program on the whole avocado farming practices, I don't want to support an industry that harms so many people. W5 is a news information program on CTV.ca.
I am working on putting together a rather difficult quilt top and am seeing too many colours trying to meld together.
Dinner will be whatever I can scrounge up from the fridge/freezer/pantry.

Not liking avocado? That's blasphemy. This combined with your love of country music means you and I have extreme moral differences. I don't know if we can be friends anymore. 😉😂 It's going to be a regular Sunday here. Crafting, laundry, cookie baking. I'm trying to make speculoos today. I got a star rolling pin at Christmas time and I've been itching to use it. Dinner tonight is potato soup. Chloe is coming over. We are introducing Ellie and Finn. She is going on vacation in April and needs me to dogsit. So I need to make sure these dogs can get along. I'm not worried about Ellie so much but little Finn can be an ass. 🤣 Chihuahua, nuff said. Happy birthday scrappert!

Normal Sunday here too. Church this morning, including my First Communion class. We only have 4 more classes until we’re done - 3 before Easter, a bit of a break while school vacation happens (and I go to Australia) then one last class, a week off and the big day (actually weekend, as we do preparations and rehearsals on the Saturday) After church, DH dropped me at the corner nearest our house on the main street tamed then headed to the airport. It is his first time travelling with his CPAP and I think he was a bit worried, as he messaged me after he went through security, seemingly surprised at how easy it was. Security dude just looked at it, asked DH ‘snoring machine?’, then waved him through. Dinner tonight for me is a pork kebab - I bought it ready made at the butchers yesterday and have marinated it in BBQ sauce. There is some leftover broccoli gratin from last night to eat with it. I love avocados in all forms - cut up into salads, as avo toast, guacamole. Older DS calls then ‘green poison’ and younger DS plans to feed them to his brother’s children, to share the love! Happy Birthday scrappert

Happy birthday, scrappert ! I LOVE avocado. Dinner tonight is a sheet pan meal of potatoes, broccoli, and sausage. Twelve years ago today, it was quesadillas on our first date.

Just for the record jeremysgirl, I hate avacados and I love country music. I guess that takes me off the friendship list as well! 🤪 I’ve done some laundry, vacuumed and dusted. I’m now in the library (my space room) working on my computer. I finally booked an airbnb for a few days in September. Looking forward to getting away a bit this summer since we haven’t gone anywhere since before covid. The challenge now will be finding a doggie daycare for Walker. He’s a doofus so I’m hoping he won’t get kicked out when we try it for a day. Supper tonight will be chicken bites, potatoes and a veggie.

I’m a huge fan of avocados! Delicious on a turkey sandwich, on toast, in a salad or made into guacamole!
Dinner is going to be pot roast with carrots, green beans, potatoes and gravy for me. Ds is making a chili con carne recipe he found on line. He’s having rice with it.

I am pooped! We walked almost 3 3/4 miles and got over 9,000 steps. Last night I was sucking on a Ricola and when it got tiny, it must have punctured the roof of my mouth. I kept spitting blood into the bathroom sink. Looked like I had gotten into a bar-room fight! Rinsed my mouth with salt water and it stopped bleeding. Happy birthday scrappert! " I eat 1/2 of an avocado every day in a green salad. Occasionally I will slice up some green onions, dice cherry tomatoes, add a splash of olive oil and a bit of sea salt and add the mixture to the hole in 1/2 avocado. So yummy! Dinner might be Marry Me Chicken. Optical illusion: Do you see the face??

scrappert, wishing you a very Happy Birthday, followed by a joyous year, ahead. Happy Birthday! I see the face, cadoodlebug. I do not like avacado. Odd for me, since I love green produce. It's a normal Sunday, here. I did some tidying and now I'm about to engage in a video game like the big grown up that I am. Dinner is tarragon chicken, wild rice and veggie for dh. Happy, fun day, everyone.

Happy Birthday scrappert ! I love avocado. I eat one almost everyday. I eat it with almost anything but am happy just slicing it up and eating it as a side. My favorite is dicing it with some cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Mix it all together with a little lemon juice. I just got off work and have no idea what's for dinner. Might just be a sandwich.

Happy Birthday scrappertAvocado - I like but don't love it - in guacamole, on nachos, in a BLT, or on a salad. Can't say I've ever tried avocado toast. Dinner tonight is corned beef, colcannon, and carrots - using potatoes, carrots, onions, and cabbage from the produce box

There’s still half a chicken pot pie here, so guess what’s for dinner. My BIL never came and got his share, so I guess I’ll be eating it forever. The rest of my day will be spent trying to make my living room NOT look like a craft hoarder house. Happy birthday, scrappert! Happy anniversary, rymeswithpurple! scrapmaven, I can see the face. Old-timers will remember how I feel about avocado. I have hated it with a passion since the first time I tried it, back in high school. It’s the texture AND the taste. I like country music, too. Not love, but enjoy. Also like dogs.

I like avocado, that being said the first time I tried it I thought it tasted like soap, and That being said it was the late 70's and it was tried at a "party" and there may have been some then illegal influences related to the tasting....I have since "matured" I buy avocado every week to put on our salads...and I love me some GOOD guac!!!
Dinner is rechauffe meatloaf, garlic mashed and a salad...a plus if the avocado I bought yesterday is "ready"
Happy Birthday scrappert🥳🥳🥳 Happy anniversary rhymeswithpurple💝💝
I do see the face!!

Scandal! karenlou I don't even believe you were involved with anything bad in the 70s. 😂 If any member of this tribe could have run for president without scandal, I would have picked you! 😍 My speculoos are tasty. I know the rules so here is the recipe I used. tasty.co/recipe/speculoos-cookies-homemade-cookie-butterMy only advice is that the thinner the cookie, the less puffy and the better the pattern embossing held up to baking.

lucyg & karenlou Thanks! As I posted on social media, it's hard to believe it's been 12 years since our first date. 8 years married this fall, and a sassy little calico daughter. ❤️ He's my best friend.

Happy birthday scrappert! Have a fab day. I’m just checking in quickly before boarding our plane to Perth WA. In four hours I will be on the other side of the country. Dinner was Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese, for the hundredth (give or take) time this year. And yes, I LOVE avocado. I love smashed avo and poached eggs for breakfast, especially when it has a lot of other fancy stuff thrown in. YUM!

I eat avocado but plain it doesn’t taste like much. We had family dinner. Cheddar jalapeño burgers, chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, smashed potatoes and baked beans. My nephew even showed up. Happy Birthday scrappert
