+OMG, daddy gave me *one hundred dollars* for groceries! i can buy *all the avocados i want*, and tomatoes too!*

::faints::

+my bank's slogan is 'building and growing with the south'--does anyone else think that is the lamest slogan to ever sloge? i mean, what the fuck. it sounds like something from the Reconstruction. is the south's current level of, i don't know, growth/building represented, in the banking world, by an institution with only three branches covering two small-medium cities, and only two atms? not to mention that their computer system is often down, causing one's visa checkcard to be rejected?

*i think he felt bad about the curtness day before yest. i wasn't that hurt, but i'm ecstatic about the avocados. i am overflowing with filial devotion now, let me tell YOU.

*omg*.

okay. buy a large avocado, firm, no smushy spots, with a sort of red flush showing through the green skin. skin it. take out the core. cut the halves into a bowl. mix them with the juice of half a lime and two or three cloves of garlic. whip with a spoon. eat.

*so. good.*

they're *addictive.* avocados are going to become like a *habit* and it's almost as expensive as pot. i'm having to limit myself to one a day--the ones i bought today were $2.50 apiece! ::groan::

an avocado should be firm but give way a bit to the touch--just no specially squishy spots. if it's actually *hard*, or *really* firm, it's not ripe.

(spent like an hour in two grocery stores avocado hunting today--it's hard to get good ripe ones in the off-season. and so i learned more about how to distinguish them.)

heh!

actually i mentioned that to my mom and she said we'd probably be buying avacados anyway, so i'll definetely try that. we're putting them in sushi.

oh yes, i adore california rolls, and avocado rolls too, actually. in fact, i may prefer the latter. the pieces are so small, and so surrounded by vinegar, rice, and seaweed, that you don't get the full flavor, though.

how can you have sushi rice without vinegar? i mean it's... half rice and half vinegar, practically. and you need it to be sticky!

i always just buy the rice that's already sticky. its some sort of short grain, white rice, cooked plain.

that's probably right. i've always made it with that. never heard of using vinegar, but that's alright since i'm not a fan of vinegar at all.

...... ugh. i was, eheh, trying to induce vomitting. it, uh, sorta worked... i mean, i ended up throwing up about half the vinegar i drank (which burns like a BITCH btw) and the rest sloshed around in my stomach giving me heartburn for three days. yep. it was a fun experience, really. i'm a weird weird person. i don't even understand my motivations for certain things, looking back on them.

for curiousity's sake, how expensive is pot in the states?

From: [identity profile] cimness.livejournal.com
well, i'm not sure exactly. i mean, i've heard of people being able to get a wee bit for like $20 but the good stuff, like in american beauty, is obviously more. and i suppose closer to mexico it's less?

wow... that's expensive. i heard that it was quite expensive outside of BC but i didn't really believe it. O_o

it must be cheaper where it's grown, that makes sense.
