Avocado tastes so meaty to me. I need to figure out other ways to use it besides the obvious. I make my guacamole with white onions, tomatoes, lime and jalapeno. Mix with a spoon till it is almost creamy, but there are still chunks of avocado. Letting it sit for an hour helps the flavors combine.
Goat Cheese Salad with Wild Mushrooms
The only food that was strange to me as a kid were mushrooms. I think it was a texture thing. Plus, white button mushrooms are not very exciting. Stores now have many different fresh and dried varieties to try. These are Shitake along with a Pure Luck goat cheese salad. (Pure Luck just received another national honor.)

Summer Grill Days
Labor Day has come and gone. The kids are back at school. That can only mean one thing. Not a whole lot of time left for that classic American art of backyard grilling. Preferably done with lump charcoal on a cast iron grill.
I present you with a twist on a classic. Bison and lamb burger with red onions and Worcestershire sauce. Built on sourdough with homemade mayo and yellow tomatoes.
