Deep Fried Avocados and Baconnaise

Submitted By: Michelle
January 29, 2010

This might kill you. Probably more quickly than not. I am not a doctor, although I do watch them on tv. This will likely require a follow-up visit to your friendly cardiologist.

Ingredients

2 whole ripe avocados (slightly green is best)
1 egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp peppered Bacon Salt
Baconnaise
canola oil

Directions

Prepare deep fryer or pot of canola oil, bring to 375-400 degrees. Cut avocados in half, remove pit. Cut avocado into 1/2" slices. Mix egg well. Soak avocado slices in egg. Mix bacon salt into flour. Dredge avocado slices in flour mix, then add to fry. Fry until crispy brown on the outside. Remove from oil and drain well.

While still hot serve with Baconnaise as a dip.

Finally finished my t-shirt scarf

Good thing I'm not gonna be in any extreme sewing competitions in the near future. I can't sew a straight seam to save my life!

disabling facebook ads in chrome

woot! i'm happy. earlier i installed privoxy to block ads with chrome since there's no adblock plugin yet. for most things, out of the box was fine, but not so with facebook. EVIL ADS!! seriously. so anyway, after lots of digging and swearing at privoxy cause it's not a simple interface, i finally fixed it!!! yay!! and partly for myself when i install it on other machines, and partly for anyone else who hates facebook ads, but likes chrome, here is what i did. (obviously this is for windows since that's all chrome is out for atm)

first, i had to open the default.filters file. it should be in program files\privoxy. you'll probably have to open it as administrator. if you scroll down, there is a section for site specific issues. somewhere in there (just so your file stays consistent) put in this text:

#################################################################
#
# facebook: CSS-based block for facebook side and sponsored ads.
#
#################################################################
FILTER: facebook CSS-based block for facebook side and sponsored ads.

s@</head>@\n<style type="text/css">\n\
/* Style sheet inserted by Privoxy's facebook filter. */\n\
\.adcolumn_wrapper {display : none !important;}\n\
\#home_sponsor {display : none !important;}\n\
\iframe {display : none !important;}\n\
</style>\n$0a

now, assuming you have privoxy's html configuration editing enabled, you can go to http://p.p (this opens the config files) and click "view & change current configuration". you want to edit user.action. once you're there click the "insert new section at top" button. under actions, click the edit button. this will take you to a list of radio buttons. look through them for your new facebook filter (it should say filter facebook) and click the radio button the enable it (it's the one in the green column). click submit to take you to the previous page and under url patterns: click add. in the dialog box that pops up, you want to type .facebook.com. refresh facebook and your ads should be blocked!!

fawkes-o-lantern

Remember, remember the 5th of November....

I made a Guy Fawkes Jack-o-lantern!



Yeah... I'm not the most artistic person so it looks kind of like a pilgrim. Oh well, better luck next year.

apparently i'm going with the one post every three months thing. i've been using twitter lately. it's like one sentence blogging, heh.

i got this little guy the other day. i love it. it's easy to have a camera all the time now. it takes pretty nice pictures. 5mp and stuff, although it's better outside than in. inside, if there's enough light, it's pretty good at taking pictures quick. if i use the flash though, i gotta make sure what i'm taking the pic of is far far away or it gets really overexposed. it's an insanely bright flash. i want to get an eye-fi for it sometime. i haven't even really put any pictures i've taken online yet. maybe i should start keeping like a picture blog. hmmm. of course they'd probably be mostly pictures of my dog and cat. lol. ok ok, i'll start today. here's a picture of something i saw yesterday.

Wow, it's been forever since I posted anything. I guess I haven't been doing anything interesting.

Today I knitted the first thing I ever knitted without a pattern. I'm not a great knitter, but I think it came out ok.

Just in case anyone else wants to make one, here's what i did...

----stem----
co 3
i-cord for a while
put 2 st on holder

----leaf----
repeat for each stitch on holder
1 kfb 2
2 (an all even otherwise marked) p
3 k2 kfb k1
5 k1 kfb k1 kfb k1
7 k
9 k1 ssk k1 k2tog k1
11 k2 bo1 k2
12 bo2 break yarn.
bo2 (i just used a small piece for this)

---making---
bind in extras.
with the two at the top of the stem, i went through each leaf to give it a little more support than the 2 st. from the kfb.

i hope this all makes sense. first try!

freak of nature

today i harvested this freak of nature from my garden. it's the third double tomato i've gotten so far, but this is the first one where you can see the seam so clearly. it looks like the two tomatoes were actually sewn together. weird...

anyone have any good things to do with tomatoes? today i'm gonna cut up the cherry tomatoes and toss them in vinaigrette and fresh basil.
