Dear Reader

As you may have guessed, I am an avocado lover, but I hardly know anything about avocados. Yet, I haven't always been a fan. Like Pablo Neruda, I would like to go on a journey to discover the beauty of this seemingly ordinary food. The love between avocados and I grew just as the love of my high school sweetheart blossomed, which has now succumbed to a happy, avocado-eating marriage. My husband, Erik, was the leading force behind my intimate relationship with the avocado. Whether it be guacamole dip, sliced, or pureed, I am ready to dive in and taste new avocado recipes as well as find out the history and cultures behind these distant travelers.

I hope that by the time you finish reading that you will want to pick up an avocado, slice its flesh, and chomp! So, come along with me on this journey from Raleigh, North Carolina, to who knows where!

To see where I've started, please click on the first entry under the May archive.

Your traveling companion,

Katrina

In the Strangest of Places...






















Special Note: This photo was taken in my actual living room in my real apartment. I can't remember the brand of the wall paint, but I used the household name "Sherwin Williams" to create this poster advertisement. By the way, this wall color really is named "guacamole," and my dining room's wall color is "salsa red." No joke. An interesting note: I learned Adobe Photoshop tricks in order to create the above image.
