Keeping it simple

“I don't know what it is about food your mother makes for you, especially when it's something that anyone can make - pancakes, meat loaf, tuna salad - but it carries a certain taste of memory.”~ Mitch Albom

(quote found here)

The simplest of desserts: Avocado with honey and almond slivers.

The ingredients: All imported, unfortunately- the avocado from Kenya, the honey from India, and the almonds from the US,  I think. The avocado and almonds were purchased locally.
The taste: creamy (obviously), slightly sweet (half a tbsp of honey won't alter the taste too much), and crunchy (nuts!)
proof that appearance isn't the only indicator of brilliance



For my mother, who loves avocados (or avocadoes, if you prefer). She is still waiting for her avocado tree to bear fruit.
