Filipino style: cut into a bowl w/milk (or milk substitute like almond, rice, or coconut milk) and sugar (or honey)...yum!


10 Ways To Eat an Avocado for Breakfast

I've made this twice now, doubled both times to share w/groups -- what a lovely story and an amazing recipe! Today, I made the following modifications: doubled, with 7 eggs (not 10), and half and half instead of milk (only substitute on hand). Made more of a thick pancake consistency rather than super eggy. All gone save one piece for me tonight! YUM!!

Congrats! Sounds like the hard work paid off. It would be great to see your recipes, if you'd be willing to share...!

We also self-catered our New Year's Eve wedding, with the help of dear friends. Since my husband and I didn't do the cooking, it was a breeze for us :-) and an amazing gift from our loved ones. We sort of forgot about dessert until the last minute, at which point we sent a frantic e-mail soliciting cookies, brownies, and bars -- and again, our friends and family came out in full force. There's something to be said for sharing comforting, familiar food with the people you love most.

Okay, I think the human food saver vacuum trick is hysterical. Kudos to you, BlaineArin, on your creativity!

I'm intrigued by LittleStarCapella's rubber band method and will probably try it.

Great post and comments!

Many thanks for the lemon rolls recipe -- came across it a couple weeks ago. It was a mess to make but an absolute joy to eat (and eat and eat...). If I'm ambitious, I might try with oranges!
