I’ve a confession to make.
I’ve all the time mentioned that we eat domestically, largely from my very own backyard. That’s nearly fully true however there are exceptions.
The cranberries I purchase for my vacation baking come from Canada, the blueberries I like within the spring come from Morocco, and my summer season pineapple comes from West Africa.
These are nonetheless seasonal, as in not all yr, however not native.
My solely true deviation from ‘not seasonal’ is avocados. We love avocados and I indulge myself in shopping for the ‘able to eat’ avocados that come from Peru. They’re packaged 2 in a cardboard container and are nearly all the time completely ripe. They’re accessible all yr and I purchase them a few times a month.
It retains us each blissful.

For those who nonetheless have asparagus: Avocado, Asparagus, & Tomato Salad
Hector has a good friend.
She’s a really cute black lab that’s barely smaller than him.
And actually, actually quick.
They haven’t truly performed collectively…. As a result of she is somewhat obsessive about balls.
I throw the ball and she or he races after it. Hector races after her. The two of them do a sliding flip whereas she grabs the ball, then come racing again to me.
That half is a bit scary. I’m by no means completely assured that they are going to cease earlier than knocking me into the following county.
Hector doesn’t truly need the ball and he’s not upset that she has it. I attempted throwing 2 balls, 1 for every of them. He simply chases her. When she drops the ball for the following throw he waits, about 5 toes away. I throw, she runs, and he chases her.
They get an excellent work-out and I’m glad he has a good friend.
I’m actually glad he accepted her and permits her in his home.
He’s not that accepting of people.
