Because it seems to be the popular thing to do...

This week's CSA box:

Apple, Fuji (QTY 2)
Avocado - 1 ct
Banana - 3 ct
Grapefruit, Ruby Star (QTY 1)
Lettuce, Green Leaf - 1 ct
Nectarine, Yellow (QTY 2)
Onion, Green -1 Bunch (we got 2)
Orange, Navel - 3 ct
Sweet Potato -2 lb
Tomato, Roma - 1 lb

We are getting incredibly sick of bananas, which are in every box. Last weekend at the socially-distanced vintage trailer resort, we made Banana Boats, a desserty recipe I found. Slice bananas, through their skin, lengthwise almost all the way through, but leaving the skin on bottom intact. Pry them open and stuff whatever desserty things you have on hand in them. We did chocolate, caramel sauce, and marshmallows. Wrap them up in foil and toss 'em on a grill (or, I suppose, in an oven) until the stuff inside that can melt is melted. We topped them with crumbled graham crackers after they came out. The banana is basically mush, and mixed with everything else is quite good.

But we are so sick of banana bread, and I don't eat bananas raw because I burp banana for hours afterward. I also need to figure out what to do with the avocado that isn't guac or toast. Last week [personal profile] myrialux made (while I was prepping other food for the weekend) this avocado citrus salad which was delicious but a lot of work because neither of us really likes citrus membranes, so there was a lot of sectioning involved. (Well, [personal profile] myrialux can deal with them. I can't.)

Do you like smoothies? If so, avocados can be good, and maybe baked or otherwise cooked bananas, too?

I like soy sauce on avocados. Also, cider syrup (bought at a farmer's market).

We took inspiration from guac, and will just take diced avocados and mix in other things, like dc mango. Add or omit tomatoes, etc

Once I added minced garlic and some cider syrup to diced avocado, and called it a topping for burger patties. Yum!

I also like avocado with roasted, salted pistachios
