I'm so jealous and excited. Hoping for tons of on-the-spot reporting from Carrie and friends. :-) <br /><br />I'm afraid I've limited my avocado eating to guacamole so I think it's time to branch out. Maybe grilled tomato avocado and cheese on spelt bread? Yum.

I'm glad you took his unasked-for and unheard advice! You'll enjoy cold food again!<br /><br />And I had never heard of avocado toast before! (Shows you how much I pay attention to the NYC foodie culture!) I couldn't believe how many different ways there were to have it. I loved my bacon creation, though!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-67798345793508450222016-08-22T08:43:43.565-04:002016-08-22T08:43:43.565-04:00Messy sandwiches are THE best!

Seriously? Not Nathan's hot dogs or Famous Ray's pizza or.... well, you get the drift. Yeah, Avocado toast.<br /><br />We're getting a new refrigerator. I finally had to admit the old one could not handle this summer. Sadly, I sent my husband off with all our bacon to store with other things in a friend's empty frig.Cate Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424872139114718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-17295619575841303972016-08-22T08:06:57.007-04:002016-08-22T08:06:57.007-04:00"on rye, grilled..."

I grew up with parents who both loved coffee and fresh tomatoes, but I never learned to like them. I always figured I was adopted ;)<br /><br />And you can see why that area is called "The Needles" can't you? It's a beautiful drive, and we hadn't gone that way for almost a year. So lovely.

When my grandmother married her college sweetheart when they were both in their '80's, Grandpa Paul brought an avocado tree into the family (he lived in southern California). Every year they rode the train back to Indiana to visit family and Grandma packed a suitcase full of avocados to share. Yum!<br /><br />And yes. Crowds. After Labor Day we get our Hills back. :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-2592542162019694532016-08-22T06:11:08.938-04:002016-08-22T06:11:08.938-04:00I love summer sandwiches, the BLT varieties, and m...I love summer sandwiches, the BLT varieties, and my fave is bacon/tomato and swiss on rye, grilled.... Oh be still my heart! And it's always better with homegrown tomatoes!!! <br /><br />This is lovely, but I can't believe the amazing coolness of the rock formations and driving through them, like sentinels lining the way.

We even have a mini tree but I'm afraid it will never bear fruit because by the time it gets to the right size, it will have outgrown our house which means it will DIE from the cold. So sad!<br /><br /> Love thse rock formations but can I say how odd that is that there was nowhere to park? I can't imagine the crowds. Crazy. The only time we can't find parking is in downtown Portland. :OMary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.com
