Bacon is meat candy.

I'm having a Tony Roma's Bleu Cheeseburger for lunch today - yummy crumbles of bleu cheese and two nice strips of bacon

I like tomatoes, but only thinly sliced. Same goes for my avocado. I use avocado as more of a "spread" since I really don't care for mayonnaise (use mayo pretty much only for making a tuna salad). Back to the tomatoes, I love the flavor, but pretty much can't stand chomping on a cherry tomato... because it GUSHES out. Ewww!


My perfect bacon sandwich would be bacon, sharp cheddar (though a good number of cheeses would be amazing), thin-thin-thinly sliced tomato with a few thinly sliced avocado pieces. Is it wrong that I'm quivering a bit at the thought?

The other day, I bought a package of Boar's Head smoked gruyere cheese for some french onion soup I was making. After going to two stores, it was the only gruyere I could find. I suspected that the smoked flavor might not work quite right in french onion soup and I was correct. Bad idea.

And yet, I bet it would have been absolutely perfect for your bacon sandwich. The thought is making my mouth water, although I'm not quite at the quivering stage.

I would happily sit and munch my way through avacados whole-LURVE them!

Avocados have great aerodynamic properties, but that's about all I can use them for...

Another avocado lover. Plain with just a bit of salt. Yummy goodness. MUST be Haas avocados however. Those things in Florida that they try to pawn off as avocados are atrocious.

Fresh (Haas) avocados good. Cooked/heated avocados bad.

Raw bacon bad. Cooked bacon good!

I hate what they do to poor avacados when they make them into guacamole- they lemon them to death. I have a friend who puts hardboiled eggs in it-

gak!

A little citrus is necessary unless the idea of brown guacamole is appealing. I prefer lime to lemon and not too much. Although, I've heard somewhere that if you place the avocado pit in with the guac, it will also prevent it from turning brown.

hardboiled egg? I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It helps, but does not "cure" the problem. Somewhere between lemon joice and nothing at all.

A friend turned me on to adding REAL (not imitation) crab meat to the guac. Nice alternative!
