I was going to suggest baked apples with just a bit of brown or maple sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top, served over sugar-free vanilla ice cream.

I would love something that does this for hot tea. I wonder if you can make hot tea in a coffeemaker using loose leaves and a coffee filter? Would it brew sufficiently?

You could probably puree it and make popsicles or an ice cream topping, but I vote for the food bank if you don't think you'd like it.

I find them helpful if they truly introduce the recipe--like if they offer a good summary of the cooking process, or suggestions for multitasking, especially for a long or complex recipe (i.e. "do X while Y is simmering.") If it's an ethnic recipe, something about the culture is nice, or if the recipe has some historical significance. I find I am rarely interested in the inspiration unless it's a really good story.

I always thought you weren't supposed to chill tomatoes because it kills the taste?

I've frozen guacamole with no ill effects, but it was not homemade, and I don't know if there was some additive that may have protected it.

I would think with that many avocados, it's worth at least trying overnight, just to see if it works!

Peach and tomato salad--just slice up the best of both, toss with a tiny bit of olive oil, sprinkle with chives and bleu cheese. Awesome.

pasta and whatever veggies are on hand (fresh or frozen). boil them all together in salted water, top with butter or olive oil, salt and pepper, and parm or goat cheese.

scrub brush.

i vote for onions and a little fat--either olive oil or butter.
