Have you ever gotten such a craving for something that you just can't get enough of it? That's how I am with breakfast foods, and thankfully the possibilities are endless when it comes to eggs and bacon. But what I can't seem to get enough of lately is French toast. Maybe it's because of spring break: We all go home, wake up later than usual, and eat foods that might be more extravagant than our wallets are used to. My parents keep our fridge stocked with all the necessities and staples, so it was never difficult to whip up something really delicious whilst groggy. What was really amazing about having so many options was how many variations on the toast I could make, but my favorite, with a mixed berry syrup, stood above and beyond the rest. The key is having frozen...Holy Fiesta Dip

I was at Devon Market last week for some eatin's, and I noticed they had avocadoes for really cheap. Some were a bit hard, but most of them felt fine, so I picked up three small ones for a buck. That's weird, isn't it? Usually avocadoes are insanely expensive during the summer, so you'd think they would be twice as pricey when it's icy out (rhyme unintended). Well, whatever the cost, it was nice to pick up something green that wasn't a pepper or broccoli. The avocado is pretty crazy. Alton Brown tells us Spanish explorers called it "testicle" because they couldn't pronounce the Aztec word; and surprisingly, it is called "the apple of the winter" in some South American countries! That just goes to show you how important research...
