This Will Get Your Mind Off Smoking-"Avocado Toast"

JonesCarpeDiem
0 7 5

I grew up close to the avocado capital of the world (well, it used to be anyway)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallbrook,_California

We used to get them right by the road 20/$1. This was one of my favorite things to make with them.

1/2 Large Ripe Haas Avocado (gives slightly to the touch like a ripe peach)

1/8 Lemon

Two Pieces Of Your Favorite Toasting Bread (this was 12 grain)

Melted Butter  For Toast (you can skip this if you are watching fat and calories)

Salt and Pepper

Halve The Avocado Lengthwise. Hit the seed with the edge of your knife and twist it out and discard. Toast Your Bread.

Ladle On The Melted Butter, (you can skip this step if you are watching calorie and fat intake)

Scoop one half of an avocado half out of the shell with a spoon and lay it on the toast.

Spread with knife, or slice as necessary right on the toast and then spread.

Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Eat It!

This is for two pieces. If you want more, MAKE MORE! LOL

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
