I actually get almost too many avocados from people here. I love them, and eat them on sandwiches, salads and in guacamole, but my children won't eat them and I end up giving away about half of what I get.
My children really cramp my eating style these days. Back when I was cooking for a crowd every day, I'd make whatever I liked and, while I usually had one or two that complained about what I'd made, the food always got eaten. Now that it's just me and my two youngest, if I make something they don't like, I'll end up eating it all myself. So I cook for them. It gets very boring. They don't like enchiladas, or pretty much anything spicy. They don't like tofu. They don't like beans very much... I miss eating mexican food 3 nights a week.
My older children give me grief that I "cater" to the younger ones so much, but it's just not worth it to make a batch of enchiladas or lasange that only I will eat. So we eat a lot of teriyaki and the like.

maui babe, I could eat avocados plain with a spoon every day for the rest of my life. Seriously.

I like them with lime juice and salt and pepper. But not every day for the rest of my life. Certainly when I was pregnant though.

Halfway through reading thsi thread. I am salivating and laughing at how this topic changed from Tante's favorite sandwich to Thanksgiving traditions.
My grandmother didn't like turkey and since she was the one who made the whole dinner in my family, we never had it. (She also made us eat the cranberries with the berries still in them which we all hated; the jellied ones are best especially since they make that cool noise coming out of the can!) I had never eaten roast turkey until I was all grown up. She died several years ago and all our traditions have changed so we eat turkey now. A tradition that has survived though is a fruit salad (not jello) with marshmallows. I made it the other day for a church function and it made think of Thanksgiving. Yum!
My favorite sandwich... Hard to say. I LOVE sandwiches. PB&J is good (strawberry jam with crunchy PB on whole wheat bread) or tuna salad (with pickles) on white toast or almost any deli sandwich with cheese (not Swiss though) and lettuce and mayo with chips and a pickle on the side.... I am HUNGRY! But my fave would have to be the Monte Cristo from Bennigan's.

Tante, thanks for clarifying for me. Once you mentioned it, I realized I had heard about the separate implements for meat and milk. I guess the guy was right.

I would not call this my favorite currently, but it should be mentioned that when dkw, ElJay, and I were kids we often had braunschweiger (sp?) and cakedonut sandwiches. And we loved them.

There is this restaurant that just opened called the Full Belly Deli.
My 9 year-old son has perfected a stolen recipe from them and we call it the Full Belly Indy:
sliced ham sliced turkey provolone cheese or subtitute pepper jack cheese if you like spicy southwest sandwich sauce (can be found in deli section at Wal-Mart hee hee) on thick sliced bread and toasted like a grilled cheese.
Serve with pickles (dill or bread & butter) and/or potato chips.
We eat this silly sandwiches at least once a week...

No offense, but that sounds a little nasty. I think. I looked it up. Braunschweiger is liverwurst. On a donut? Posts: 10397 | Registered: Jun 2005

Anyway, the fast is over, and we ate... SANDWICHES!
Tuna salad on whole wheat pita.
Cream cheese and lox.
Egg salad.
And ice cream sandwiches for dessert!!
And as good as that was, there is nothing in the world better than a beautiful long drink of water after you have been fasting all day. It is a piece of Heaven! Really. I'm pretty sure that it falls from Heaven. It felt sooooo good. I could feel it going all the way down into my belly, and then spreading its watery goodness all through my parched self.
I washed down the sandwiches with more water. A delight!
