My apologies to anyone who, like me, wishes there were other topics besides "One Hundred Ways to Wok Your Avocado" :-) ... Anyway, avocado foe that I am, I have GOT to get some opinions on this dish!!! This is so out of the ordinary that I may try it if any of you recommend it to me. From _Fear_of_Frying_, by James Barber (Vancouver: Douglas & McIntyre Ltd., 1978). (punctuation supplied where necessary, this is a sketch-and-hand- printing sort of book): "Avocado: this dessert is God's way of saying She's sorry for inventing instant coffee. "...Just try this -- the greatest quick dessert in the world: "Mash smooth one avocado, juice of a lime, 2 tsp. sugar, and 1 tsp. instant coffee. You can eat it straight, but better mash in an equal amount of vanilla ice cream. "Gloriously rich, fattening, sensuous....but organic, man..." I *swear* I am not making this up. Please write me with results, if you survive! -- ellen keyne seebacher ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!see1 university of chicago computation center "...and to my Democratic precinct (x9.xes@UChicago.Mailnet) captain, I leave my vote."
