so I have this avocado.......



I was sitting around thinking about fixing some supper tonight...... Plou says she will have a bowl of oatmeal. I think that sounds ok to me......so i fix a big pot......but I really need to use up an avocado I have in the kitchen.....so I fix a little guacamole...fresh avocado...lemon juice...kosher salt....fresh garlic...mash it up with a spoon...and ....then I get this fun idea for an omelet...I saute some onions, green bell pepper, and garlic in olive oil.....throw these cooked items in
a bowl....then pour in some liquid eggs in the same pan......you know the kind they sell in a milk carton at Albertsons...I am cooking and swirling the eggs like I know what I am doing...but omelets never come out right for me..........up I go on the pan edges...swish swish....curling the pan..moving my wrist...making it happen...the secret appears to be the very thin liquid eggs...looking good........crumple up some Tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese on the eggs......then toss the cooked items from the bowl into the pan on the omelet before folding..... I spy the guacamole....thinking why not two dog..........so I dish some of that into the omelet.....sprinkle white pepper...black pepper and a little more kosher salt....fold the eggs over and the omelet is looking almost right...I let it continue to cook......throw some multi grain sandwich thins in the toaster oven....you know those little round sandwich bread things that curl up if you toast them in the regular toaster......the bread overcooks till it is very dark brown..I figure what the hell....I put a little I-can't-believe-its-not-butter on the thins.......along with orange marmalade...everything is ready....snagged some sweet tea out of the ice box...and damn that was a decent meal ......surprising me very much...which tells me that I can mix and match food that I would not usually think would work.
