A Perfect Dinner



I really wanted to make a soup, but after walking from the subway to my apartment for 10 minutes in 30+ heat, the idea of standing near a hot oven seemed unbearable. So, what would I want for dinner? Something light, something cold, something that wouldn't require simmering, sauteing or frying, but something substantial enough to fill my empty and hungry stomach. I turned to one of my favourite books - Barefoot Contessa at Home.And yes, here was the answer: Guacamole Salad.


At the supermarket I couldn't resist buying some gorgeous strawberries as I remembered that I have some oranges and bananas lying in the fridge (when did I buy them?). I got home and it was hot and I needed something refreshing and quick. The recipe for this Orange-Banana smoothie sounded wonderful. Quickly I washed those weird oranges I found in the fridge and cut them. Well, I know why I didn't remember buying them and I know why they looked strange. My oranges, the main ingredient for the smoothie, turned out to be grapefruits (oh yeah, I remember how I thought that they'd make a perfect breakfast... when was that?). Not to worry! My version of a grapefruit-banana-strawberry smoothie turned out amazing.

And while I enjoyed this cocktail, I quickly mixed a guacamole salad. Very simple, very light, very refreshing. I also got to try out my new handy-dandy avocado slicer!!



A perfect dinner for a very hot night.

I almost never write comments, however i did some searching and wound up here "A Perfect Dinner".
And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look like a few of the remarks come across like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on other social sites, I would like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of your shared pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
