Bung them into a curry?Does anyone have suggestions for avocado that aren’t just on toast/ guacamole? I keep getting them in veg box and have no other interesting ideas
They make a lovely salad with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil.
Do you eat egg? I bake an egg into mine and top with spring onions, pimento and chilli flakes and cheese. Have with a corn on the cob and some potato wedges to dip!Does anyone have suggestions for avocado that aren’t just on toast/ guacamole?

minimalist baker (I think?!) blitzes it into tahini and like for a nice salad/buddha bowl dressing (roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, roasted spiced chickpeas and I have halloumi in it too)
ETA; I have evolved it to be avocado my own self in the dressing, apologies:https://minimalistbaker.com/sweet-potato-chickpea-buddha-bowl/
by mixing it together with this:https://minimalistbaker.com/mexican-quinoa-salad-cups-with-creamy-cilantro-lime-dressing/
I had porridge with jam in for breakfast. Egg on toast for lunch.
I miss the fun days of the JM thread but it was never really dependent on her anyway. I was laughing with (and wanting to commiserate with/hug) you lot.
And I love coming up with the titles. So much fun.

You can quite successfully tempura an avocado. I know hot avocado sounds weird, but it's goood...Does anyone have suggestions for avocado that aren’t just on toast/ guacamole? I keep getting them in veg box and have no other interesting ideas
Also, poke bowls? Salmon (poached, smoked. marinaded or raw, depending on your tolerance levels for such things), here's Nadiya's version, but obviously you can play around with the toppings. I like her sauce recipe though.

Nadiya's tasty salmon poke bowls from Time to Eat are the easy way to eat sushi! They can be topped with fresh ingredients, or leftovers from the fridge.

Nigella's Roquamole - https://www.nigella.com/recipes/roquamole - I know it's basically guac, but it's got a twist and a punny name and I am a sucker for such shenanigans
Go back to the 70s with a prawn cocktail stuffed avocado? You MUST make the sauce with ketchup, mayo, lemon juice and tabasco. It's the law.
I’m popping in to say hi, I’m a long time Mother Thread lurker and occasional commenter.
I would like to chat more but I’m usually behind or reading while breastfeeding my ravenous baby in the night (hence the name - I’ve since spotted another Tattler with a similar one oops) and am usually too tired to put the words together. Or I start writing a post and get distracted and by the time I get back to it things have moved on.
Anyway think I’m an INFJ, I did the test with a careers advisor years ago and remember feeling like she was a magical person while I read the report, I felt so well described.
Very much here for reading about everyone’s flavours and recipes, it is delightful to read along.
I’m yearning for lots of fresh veggies today but so far have managed coffee, porridge and my child’s toast crusts. Got a lovely big leek in my veg box this week that I would like to treat to a more interesting fate than the usual leek and potato soup.
I’m from NI and am also now craving a gravy ring and have no idea why it’s called that.

You’re great at titles!!
Ooh yum thanks!
I unfortunately don’t , I somehow lost my nutribuolet in a house moveIf you have a blender, chocolate avocado mousse
The DKL days were unrivalled- particularly the court outfits. The mother thread was gold at that point.
That half hour (or was it an hour?) of the daily watch along has basically been the highlight of this bizarre time
I really must work, but I also must tell you that buttery slowly fried leeks are the best thing ever. Butter and oil in pan. Add sliced up leek rounds and salt (salt imperative as stops the leeks from browning too much) and, ahem, plenty of black pepper. Cook on a low, low heat, and if leeks start to brown add a little water to stop them. Ideally cover with a cartouche (which frankly is just a fancy word for a sheet of baking paper with a little hole in the middle, to sort of slightly steam them as well. They are done when translucent and buttery looking. Have them just like that as a side, or add cream for ummm, to make them even more extra. I like them with pork chops.
Argh! You are fabulous. I have pork chops for tonight too! Sounds delicious, thank you.
Flumps, love, I’m just bookmarking all your posts!
Psst on my lunch from home working, batting children away who want face masks (as in peel off mango ones) doing 
. I agree I loved the DKL days, ahh such fun trying to lip read JM her tech was so bad.
I think there are still a few agendas on the mother thread. Can’t be bothered with it, especially now I have less time.Today I’ve had 2 Weetabix and just eaten scrambled egg on toast for lunch. Living the high life here!

It's far too hot to walk to the supermarket so for lunch I had a real lockdown larder moment of whatever was in the kitchen...potato, onion, green pepper & cherry tomato hash (with lots of garlic!) then a berry compote with yogurt. I have leftovers of the hash for tomorrow, and enough compote for the rest of the week, which is great!
Lunch today was 16 Tesco chicken nuggets and chinese curry sauce. Not feeling particularly fancy today.
***sorry in advance vegans and vegetarians***
My boyfriend’s gluten free dad is coming round for dinner tomorrow so im making Korean bossam (slow cooked
Pork shoulder with a brown sugar crust, served on the table
With lettuce wraps, kimchi, raw veggies, sticky rice and a selection of spicy sauces - it’s very popular in this house).
But I forgot that this recipe requires skinless pork shoulder!I’ve just removed it and covered the shoulder in a salt / sugar rub to cure for 24 hours but what would you clever fraus suggest I do with the leftover skin? I don’t want to deep fry anything so chiccarones (Or however you spell them) are out of the question...

Agreed @Breakdance Badass !
Super non interesting breakfast of marmite on toast, not yet had lunch because I have no idea what to do and tbh I am bloated from 2 bits of bread for breakfast, but was told to have bigger breakfasts than I was, so am seemingly just doomed!
Trying to drag myself unwillingly through a major life admin day today. Finalised Ocado shop, having a week largely of Miguel meals as they're so easy/actually enjoyed by husband (difficult to do, but he's still getting a burger night so he's happy) and it's knocked 30% off our avg spend?!! That's just picking out whatever we fancy, I'm sure if I sat and thought about it properly it'd be more? What a result tho thanks Jack, doing the lord's work hunni xo
Majorly procrastinating applying for Irish citizenship, pre lockdown wanted to just go over there for a weekend and do it all in person as I hateeeee online systems for stuff like this it's always majorly antiquated and tit. I had to get their equivalent of an NI number last year & the whole process was really... laid back... and I'm the opposite so it really stresses me to think of my application just in the ether or what if it gets rejected etc etc?
