And vegan tofu cheesecake (OMG, that was the offense to the senses, if I have ever seen one!) And gluten-free raw vegan "pizza". And on, and on. No problem eating gluten-free.

With that said, it seems that in most Portuguese speaking countries, avocado is typically treated as a fruit, and made into smoothies and desserts. So I made a Brazilian avocado cream last night. It's quite unique, and it's delish! Is not diet food, though (unless like g_grrl it makes you lose yer lunch) so production will be limited, despite 3 for a dollar avocados. GO We're lucky in Hellhio to find avocados for $1/apiece. When I lived in TexAss, there was a rad megastore called Fiesta that had ultra cheap Mexican produce; avocados for as little as 20 cents sometimes, as well as those giant ones, too. Curious - there was someone on the radio talking about their avocado plant collections and all the different varieties there were. When you live further south do you have access to different varieties (I've only seen hass avocado in the store).
I haven't exactly been seeking out other varieties, but all I see in the ralph's here are haas avocados. I guess if I went to whole foods or something they might have other options, like the PTFTW variety? I don't know.

Now would be the time to jump on the campus board, but it's just too risky. The worst thing to do would be to fall, and land directly on the bottom of the left foot. Teh gimpfoot is still in an aircast, but I am walking around a bit, and have moved toward doing some actual climbing. Can't do any toeing in with the aircast, since that would put a lot of strain on the Lispaul joint. So, mostly, I am sticking to really steep stuff that I just climb with one foot ('m using the Arrowhead that Jack sent me last year for my right foot). Feeling really good actually. I set several porbelms that suit the one footedness, and I even have a bit of power in me, and can deadpoint, dyno, deep cross over to pretty small holds. Feet cut a lot, but I'm feeling really strong on the crimps and even some slopey pinches. Also getting good at falling onto my back, instead of my feet. The one problem is that, since my feet cut every few moves as I try to reset the right foot, I REALLY get worn out fast. So, volume is suffering. I'm just hoping that will build up my endurance enough that I will feel stronger and better endurance as soon as I can use both feet. May try to re-prodge Apollo Reed this spring, since it has very few hard left foot moves. That would be awesome. Nice! I can't imagine that putting climbing shoes on the gimpfoot will be pleasant for quite some time, so are you planning to climb in approach shoe on the gimpfoot, once the aircast is off, or are you going to try the climbing shoes? And btw, don't forget, there is spring season at the RED, and you have committed to it. Hmm, spring season at the Red... hard to say, Lena, hard to say. I'm not sure how putting climbing shoes on it going to be. I'm optimistic about it after we pull the pins (and count to three?) in early March. I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce.
The dog?
Can he hook me up with some free shooz?

So, mostly, I am sticking to really steep stuff that I just climb with one foot ('m using the Arrowhead that Jack sent me last year for my right foot). Feeling really good actually. I set several porbelms that suit the one footedness, and I even have a bit of power in me, and can deadpoint, dyno, deep cross over to pretty small holds. Feet cut a lot, but I'm feeling really strong on the crimps and even some slopey pinches. Also getting good at falling onto my back, instead of my feet. The one problem is that, since my feet cut every few moves as I try to reset the right foot, I REALLY get worn out fast. So, volume is suffering. I'm just hoping that will build up my endurance enough that I will feel stronger and better endurance as soon as I can use both feet. May try to re-prodge Apollo Reed this spring, since it has very few hard left foot moves. That would be awesome. Nice! I can't imagine that putting climbing shoes on the gimpfoot will be pleasant for quite some time, so are you planning to climb in approach shoe on the gimpfoot, once the aircast is off, or are you going to try the climbing shoes? And btw, don't forget, there is spring season at the RED, and you have committed to it. Hmm, spring season at the Red... hard to say, Lena, hard to say. I'm not sure how putting climbing shoes on it going to be. I'm optimistic about it after we pull the pins (and count to three?) in early March. I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz? Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu?
Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median.

So I think I'll be O.K. not knowing, but if I ever come across them, I will keep this in mind. But I'll be willing to try the Brazilian avocado cream recipe. You can put it in PM, if you are too worried about incurring the wrath of the BET. he could put all of his posts in PMs, it would be pretty swete.
Aww, snupe still carez. I'm touched, truly.
Yeah, a lifetime without Tofutti Cuties would be fine. They're not that special - just ice cream sandwiches made out of fake ice cream. They just happen to be very tasty.
Lena - recipe is easy. Take a very ripe avogadro, 2Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp lime juice, and a little cream or ice cream or whatever floats your boat, and cuisinart it until it's super-creamy. Serve chilled, maybe with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Oh, and hey Biner - looks like I'll be hitting Shelf on Sat/Sun, and will be around locally Mon (got Precedence Day off). Lemme know if you're interested in climbing.
GO

You lost me after tamarind.
Which bring me to my next point – we are being too mono diet in NA. The different types of avocado is a good example, but that goes for almost every fruit and veggies out there. Fuck, you don’t know how hard it is for me to even get asian type eggplant (rasist!) in the grocery stores up here. The only thing you can get multiple varieties of up here are apples and, to a lesser degree, pears.
Also, speaking of tamarind....what do you do with it other than make pad thai? I once tried tamarind candies from the asian grocery store and they were pretty gross.

I have a few old shoes that are a bit bigger and stiffer that I can start on, and even the Arrowheads are about 1/2 size big for me, so will probably get a great getting-back-into-it boot for the steeps. Feeling cautiously optimistic, though. Probably not gonna be a great Endless Wall season, but I think steep sport will be good. Due to the nature of the injury, I'll probably be doing as much heelhooking as possible with the left. I asked the Doc about climbing, and he clearly did not get how shoes work, since he said that he could give me a metal shank to put inside the shoes for more support. LOL, metal shank for inside of the climbing shoes! Still, may not be so off. Didn't Gail get carbon inserts into her climbing shoes after her toe surgery? Obviously, completely different injury, but... Brian gave me a pair of lave up stiff shoes a size too big when I was ready to try climbing again. And another pair two sizes too big. I was very happy to have both. My feet swelled something fierce. The dog? Can he hook me up with some free shooz? Speaking of the dog, Mo has been pretty quiet lately. I think that Brian may have flatrocked her after hearing about her meatbombzing the Lesburu? Patty would have rolled right over that pesky median. You're right, patty would have taken it like a champ. End damage: new rim, 4 new tires (which is the bullshit of AWD I guess since the other three were FINE and had 30k left in them) new alignment, some other random shit... $1000. Yup, a $1k flat tire. I was actually kind of shocked with Brian's response- I grew up in a house where poppa biner would get all red and yelly if someone (even himself) dropped a glass, let alone launched a car into a curb. Brian was just 'don't be sorry, it's ok, these things happen. Here, let me change the tire for you in three minutes flat' and THEN proceeds to spend the whole next day dealing with getting it fixed. Momma sez he's a keepah. Holy crap, I didn't know you had to get 4 new tires for exploding one. I would be tempted to ignore that.
When Nathan exploded his tire he just replaced the one. Truck tires are expensive!

FML Sorry to hear that. While on the subject, I think that the avocado might be the most tawked about food in the BET. And also (for those who don't puke it when they the whole thing) one of the most unexpected benefits about moving to CO. Three for a dollar avocados - so nice. GO Why would CO have cheap avocados? I could understand if you were talking about CA... I think because we're a short haul from Texas and Mexico. Hey, I've been wanting to try making a dessert out of avocados. Anyone have recipes you love that use them? GO other than green smoothie, I can't think of anything dessert-y with avocado. I've seen recipes for stuff like avocado-lime pie, but all thew recipes that use avocado for dessert seem to be the raw vegan recipes, with people desperately trying to re-create the creaminess without using whipped cream. I see no reason why coconut milk and avocado whip wouldn't taste delicious, but.... nope, had it. very rich, didn't like it at all Good to know. I love all kids of foods, but things that are made to taste/look like something else don't do it for me. When I want whipped cream, I want whipped cream, and not silken tofu, coconut and avocado concoction. Love tofu, love coconut, love avocado, but this combination just turns my insides out. I am also talking yogurt that is made out of cultured coconut or soy milk. YUCK!!!!! I was expecting not to like the soy yogurt, bc I don't like soymilk, rice milk, and any of those other "milks", and I was correct there. But I love everything coconut, so I figured that coconut yogurt would taste yummy to me, even if it doesn't taste anything like real yogurt. Boy, was I wrong there! And the same goes for soy cheese. And vegan tofu cheesecake (OMG, that was the offense to the senses, if I have ever seen one!) And gluten-free raw vegan "pizza". And on, and on. No problem eating gluten-free. Don't need to, but I've done that. And never once did I feel like I wanted the bread that is made out or xantam gum, rice flour, potato and tapioka starch. YUCK! Is kerrect (with the notable exception that tofutti cuties are yummy). With that said, it seems that in most Portuguese speaking countries, avocado is typically treated as a fruit, and made into smoothies and desserts. So I made a Brazilian avocado cream last night. It's quite unique, and it's delish! Is not diet food, though (unless like g_grrl it makes you lose yer lunch) so production will be limited, despite 3 for a dollar avocados. GO We're lucky in Hellhio to find avocados for $1/apiece. When I lived in TexAss, there was a rad megastore called Fiesta that had ultra cheap Mexican produce; avocados for as little as 20 cents sometimes, as well as those giant ones, too. Curious - there was someone on the radio talking about their avocado plant collections and all the different varieties there were. When you live further south do you have access to different varieties (I've only seen hass avocado in the store). When I went to Florida with friends years ago, we came across this edible garden place, where they grew all sorts of tropical and/or exotic edible plants, as well as more common things like avocados, citruses, etc. if i recall, they had 6 different avocado trees. And the best part was, you could PICK fruits and take them (there was admission to enter the place, but no restriction on what you picked). Couple of hte avocado varieties were even ripe, if I recall. And then there was TAMARIND! My favorite thing! And couple different persimmon types that I have never seen anywhere in the US, not just the hachiya that you usually get here. And then then all these other things... feijoa, and cherimoyas, and pepinos... Ahhh, I am hungry now! You lost me after tamarind. Which bring me to my next point – we are being too mono diet in NA. The different types of avocado is a good example, but that goes for almost every fruit and veggies out there. Fuck, you don’t know how hard it is for me to even get asian type eggplant (rasist!) in the grocery stores up here. The only thing you can get multiple varieties of up here are apples and, to a lesser degree, pears. Also, speaking of tamarind....what do you do with it other than make pad thai? I once tried tamarind candies from the asian grocery store and they were pretty gross.
Yes, the typical grocery store diet in NA is incredibly monotonous and limited. I am lucky enough to have a grocery store here that s pretty much all fresh food and butcher's counter/deli (e.i. not a supermarket with all the other stuff) caters to a diverse community, so you can get 3-4 different types of eggplant, 6-8 different types of tomatoes, and "exotics" such as persimmons, fresh figs, asian pears, starfruits, quince, pomegranates, etc. I even saw feijoa there once!
But still, that is nothing compared to what I get from CSA in summer, in terms of veggie variety. That's where most of the variety comes from, for me.
Fruit variety sucks though... I get black/red/white currants from the pick-your-own farm, and sour/sweet cherries from the farm, peaches, apples, pears, etc. But even there, other than apples, which you can see a good couple dozens of varieties, everything else is only one-two varieties.
I have been contemplating planting some fruit trees/bushes that are hardy but not common in the stores, now that i have a house. Gooseberries, cornelian cherry, jostaberry, manchjurian apricotes, bush cherries... I better narrow it down. My yard is big, but not THAT big, LOL.
Sea Buckthorn would be fun, too. I haven't had any in over 15 years! Though maybe I need to think hard about this one, and REALLY remember how I hated straining the berries through the sieve, to get rid of the little seeds!

yeah, I'd probibly just take my chances.
or tell them to roll the fucking thing around for 15k miles or whatever you have on the other ones so they're even.

The new rim alone was. $400, the tires were just over $300.
