To start your dinner with a soup, I like this French Shrimp Soup from Sprinkles and Sprouts.
Starting with one of the long sides of the rectangle, roll dough up tightly, working from one end to the other end horizontally, then back again. Pinch the seams closed at the end. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut 1 1/2" sections of dough from the large roll. This will result in about 15 rolls.

So toast became a thing when avocados became the biggest thing to hit the foodie scene since microwave popcorn. Now granted avocados have been around for a bajillion years BUT they weren’t always readily available and most folks simply didn’t buy them. They were the fugly green veggie (though technically they are a fruit and more known as a seeded berry). I’ve been eating smashed avocado toast for decades (as she just ages herself) but it’s true. Just simple avocado smash, salt, pepper, cilantro and lime if I have it. Top it with some sriracha and I’ll eat it every day for a month. But then folks started to play with basic avocado toast… elevate it if you will.

Hey all! We had a fantastic Labor Day weekend, and I hope you did too. The coastal storm that was promised stayed away completely here in NJ and we had gorgeous weather. Since the weather forecast was rainy, Aldo and I didn't have any BBQ plans so we had the weekend to ourselves to relax. And since the weather turned out beautiful, we got to spend lots of time outdoors - we went hiking on Saturday and then had a picnic and outdoor nap at the park on Sunday. On Monday we had ourselves a lovely romantic dinner at home.
