when assembling the sandwich. I think the only kind of cooked avocado I've ever seen is fried. It's fine but avocado is best raw says I.

With pounds of Costco chicken thighs and a desire for tofu soup in winter, I want to try using the chicken bones for soup instead of just composting them like before. I can also avoid buying chicken broth; as it is I’m making soup with water and Asian spices instead of broth; the soup might be tastier with broth. note that traditional Shabu uses water and not a flavored broth.


Ah, picture resembled that avocado was part of the egg omelette. I tend to eat avocado raw / chopped yet felt tempted to try grilled avocado after seeing pictures. Grilling isn’t necessary :-)

gorgeous. When do you insert the avocado slices into the eggs? Not when the eggs are raw, correct?

When your omelette is almost done, add the cheese and avocados on top, turn off the heat, and cover - formed steam accumulate and melts the cheese above the omelette :)

Grilled avocado is really, really good.

I think this is definitely an opinion others will differ on. I think, from reading your posts, that you and I probably like many of the same things, but grilled avocado isn't one of them. I can't think of any way I like it cooked. But as I always say when people have different tastes, eat whatever you like just don't feed it to me please :).

I agree with you. Corky's cooking is great, but hot avocado doesn't sound too good. I'll give it a whirl some time just to see. I imagine it gets a bit flourery.

I can respect that but have you had guac made with grilled avocados? It has a nice smoky flavor--mmm.

There are good canned chicken broths. I would try using that and adding the ginger and tofu and whatever other Asian spices to the canned broth and see if you like it. I guess you could stockpile your leftover chicken bones in the freezer until you get enough to make broth but seems like a bother and unnecessary.

what about chicken or beef organic bouillon cubes? Just saw at Costco and it got me thinking.
bonus about space - cubes are tinier and maybe cheaper than buying organic chicken broth.

Usually very salty though, as that is the preservative?
