Edamame and Toasted Coconut in Avocado

March 11, 2012 by Joy the Baker 102 Comments

It’s not that I forget that you darling people come here to read my blog and make cakes, and weird vegan soups.

I never forget it.  Ever.

… sometimes I clam up, and I’m not sure what I could possibly write that might seem of interest to you.

… other times, I just write to myself.  It’s like putting my head in a box, and pretending that I’m the only one in this little blog world of mine.  That usually works.  That’s when I start writing letters to my future husband, or start droning on and on about getting pulled over by the cops.

Can I tell you something real?  (We’re somewhere in between me clamming up, and me putting my head in a box right now…)  Real talk:  I feel the rumble inside.  The rumble usually means that it’s time for a new tattoo, a sky dive, a cliff dive, an international flight, or a shark tank.  Something is rumbling… and I’m not sure how it’s going to turn out.  I do know that my desk is not going to get any cleaner in the process.  That can wait.

Does this happen to you?

The solution usually requires more than salad… but salad will suffice for now.  It has to, until I get my hands on a shark tank (and a shark).

Have you seen the trend of people baking eggs into avocados?

Yea… I’m not going to do that.  That feels like mush on mush in my mouth.  Perhaps the only two things that could make the baked avocado egg situation right is… tortilla chips and spicy salsa.  Otherwise… no go.

I do, however, have a desire to stuff my avocado with soooommmeething.

Edamame, fresh parsley, crisp red onion, black sesame seeds, and a bit of nori.  This will do.

Every salad dressing I make starts with Dijon mustard.  This one is married with sesame oil, olive oil, lemon, and soy sauce.

The simple edamame salad was missing something.

Whenever anything is missing, I generally add toasted coconut… just as a rule.  Success!

Avocados are art from God.  Well… everything is art from God.

Avocados are just some of my favorite edible art.

I made these little salad bowls in the Shutterbean‘s kitchen.

She made bread.  Naturally.

Tracy also made an awesome arugula salad with apples and arugula.

The lunch of sisters (from other misters (and mothers))… ok, so Tracy and I totally aren’t related at all, whatever.

Tracy!  Thanks for letting me cook in your kitchen!  You’re my Maj!

Let’s call this lunch.

Let’s call this creamy, crunchy, healthful lunch.  Scoopable with a spoon.  Smearable with bread.  Tupperware friendly.  Don’t let someone swipe it from the office fridge.
