Avocados & Gardening (week 3)

Avocados
Over the weekend, I found the cutest little avocados. They're called peewee avocados and at 7 for 99 cents, they were too good to pass up!

Since the avocado seed is so tiny, there's still a ton of buttery avocado flesh to be eaten!

Garden Update
Now that i'm going into my 3rd week of gardening, I thought it'd be fun to do a side by side comparison to see how much my plants have grown.

Fun with Food
Having fresh herbs in the garden inspires me to add a boost of flavor into otherwise ordinary meals. Those aren't just regular ol' mashed potatoes, there's a double dose of magic in there! Garlic chives from the garden and TRUFFLE OIL!
