The Mighty Slimcado

I’ve been on an “avocado kick” for the past month or two… It’s like I can’t get through 48 hours without enjoying an avocado. I don’t feel so badly because they have the “good fat” and they come directly from the earth, which is good. I’m not a big fan of diet foods or processed foods…..but, I heard Sally Field mention the new phenomenon of “slimcados” on one of my new favorite tv series, “Brothers and Sisters“. I honestly didn’t think it was a real thing… but turns out it is!

Naturally I freaked out when I spotted the slimcados at the grocery store. I immediately turned to tell someone the good news and realized I was alone. Dang it! I proudly brought it home to show my roommates. I sliced up a bit of it tonight for my dinner salad.

I wasn’t ecstatic with the burst (or lack of) flavor that the slimcado produced… but if I am just concerned with simulating the avacado experienced based on the appearance and texture, it’ll do. However, I missed the buttery texture and flavors from a real avocado. Oh well, I’ll learn to compromise occasionally with the slimcado.
