I also like shrimp salad with avocado.<br /><br />Another idea for eggplant is the Sicilian dish of caponata, you can get my recipe at<br /><br />http://ladivacucina.blogspot.com/2009/01/csa-food-challenge-day-4.html<br /><br />It's great to have in the fridge, you can serve it as a quick app for guest on crackers.

There's also a dessert in the Momofuku cookbook that uses avocado, I was considering going back to that well again. Or maybe heat is the way to go, might counteract some of the wateriness of the flesh.Frodnesorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830756373260010912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360180337648262818.post-88235434333212091272009-12-07T18:10:58.120-05:002009-12-07T18:10:58.120-05:00Thankfully, I'm not alone on the Florida avoca...Thankfully, I'm not alone on the Florida avocados. They're my nemesis too. I heard they get better when roasted and at the Possum Trot brunch I had one that had been stuffed and baked and it was exceptionally good. Perhaps that's the secret. Please let me know if you find a way to make them edible.Tropical Locavorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109117864776200484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360180337648262818.post-8745471519006534952009-12-07T13:47:31.542-05:002009-12-07T13:47:31.542-05:00I'm with L2M on the ratatouille issue; wait un...I'm with L2M on the ratatouille issue; wait until you get the local eggplant. <br /><br />As for black sapote ice cream, I'm not the only one making the suggestion. Ice cream and milk shakes are a traditional uses for it. But I think I'm going to be breaking out the ice cream machine for the avocado this time around.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360180337648262818.post-1104976577520040352009-12-07T10:26:58.089-05:002009-12-07T10:26:58.089-05:00Given my experience from last year, wait on the ra...Given my experience from last year, wait on the ratatouille (sp) till later in the year. We'll be getting eggplants and tomatoes along with the squash and peppers abd you'll have ratatouille coming out of your eyeballs. First time getting chives though. Got there late so the extras basket was more like the trash bin. Look forward to your posts on this.
