is what human life a cruel jibe. I long to alleviate the evil, but I am incapable of action, and I too suffer. This is my life. I have found it worth. But if there is a chance, I would gladly live it again. When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep love. When the wings of love to embrace you.uiyg1129cxvh

Thanks a lot Gingerroot for a lovely review. you are right, I don't drink this lassi , instead use a spoon to eat it. It is thick...Thanks to JR, for a wonderful picture...Never knew so many ways to use Avocado...

I made this last night alongside grilled strip steak and a green salad. Wonderful, even without local corn. I used the broiler for the kernels, onions, poblanos, then tossed in the avocado, tomato, mint, basil, dressing afterward. Really unusual, especially served warm.

Congratulations to all. Thank you James Ransom for the beautiful photo of the dish. Thank you LucyS for testing the recipe. For a bit more complexity ... hmm, how about oregano? crushed and toasted coriander? a squeeze of lime over the sauce just before adding the avocado? All of the above? There's always room to play when it comes to tomato sauce. I may try these things next time :-)
