cimorenewent back to the playa today. three days of rain finally cleared up and it was very sunny. i flirted with a beautiful great blue heron for a bit while perry obliviously sniffed at the mud. on the minus side in the past two days he's brought our total of Dead Fish Found up to eight (from four).
turned in applications at hobby lobby and the supermarket and got an application for the latter on monday. avocados are so damnably expensive here that i had to make do with artichoke dip today. i'm flat broke again and there's no pepper in the house, let alone tomatoes or avocados.
but i've discovered (invented?) some really super fresh, quick, single-serving recipes.
single-serving guacamole:
mix 1 avocado with juice of 1/2 large lemon (or slightly less) in normal soup/cereal bowl. add garlic, finely chopped or from garlic press--3 cloves makes very garlicky, 1 clove is probably restaurant-standard. salt to taste. eat with spoon or on cheese crackers or corn chips.
single-serving salsa cruda:
coarsely chop 1 large tomato in normal size bowl. add juice of 1/4-1/2 lime. add water to fill in spaces between tomato chunks up to the level of tomato in the bowl. mix in handful finely chopped cilantro and 1-5 cloves garlic (i like five, one is probably restaurant standard). salt to taste. for hot salsa, add red pepper flakes or a small amount of hot pepper. eat with spoon or on corn chips.
