Floss my brain

I’m not writing about anything bizarre or pornographic or weird. I am told, however, that I’m a bit weird. Anywho, what I’m thrilled about is avocado (also known as the testicle fruit). The recipes one can come up with this fruit as the base is countless - chutney, kheer, finger chips, etc etc.

Some I’ve tried, some I haven’t but think would turn out great:

Chutney - A blended puree of avaocado, tomato, lemon, ginger, chilli, salt and pepper (consistency of ketchup or mustard).

Kheer - A blended puree of avocado, soy milk, cinnamon, cardomom, soaked almonds and sugar (consistency of yoplait).

Finger chips - Oven toasted long cut avocado pieces dipped in a mixture of salt, pepper, turmeric, asofetida, gram four or bread crumbs.

Hybrid dosa - Crepes of oats, rice flour and farina mixed with blended avocado. Also, regular crepes mixed with avocado paste.

I am not very much into cooking these days (mainly due to a demanding 8 month old with a reflux problem). But I do enjoy talking about food and learning new things. More so nowadays as I’m cut off from dairy.

Little did I know that I would have dairy withdrawal symptoms. Avocado recipes help me get over them so quickly because they are so delicious!!

Middle ground in painting is a different thing. But middle ground in life is not good. You need to be able to work while you work and not work when you don’t want to.

I have an 8 month old with a reflux problem. So I feel like a failure at home with him not eating as he is supposed to. I have even a single post-production bug that I’m supposed to have caught I feel like a failure at work.

Makes me wonder if this is cyclic. I’m not finding things I’m supposed to find - what else am I not finding or noticing about my son that I’m supposed to?

1. Perseverance
2. Learning to give up and knowing when
3. Happiness
4. Abundant love
5. Alternate communication
6. Patience
7. Openness
8. Staying young at heart
9. Forgetting the bad things
10. Curiosity

P.S: I was going to elaborate each bullet point, but I figured that people who have kids would easily understand why (so what I say would be useless) and those that don’t will not be able to appreciate even if I explain. So why explain?

6 hours of sleep + Sex for the first time after baby = “You look pretty”-comments-from co-workers-day

5 hours of sleep + Growth spurt = My boobs want to take a Hawaii vacation

4 hours of sleep + No caffeine = Inventing a language that only I understand

3 hours of sleep + Boring meetings at work = I’m the step-sister of Cinderella

2 hours of sleep + Awesome sex = I’m stupid, but will be extremely nice to everyone today.

1 hour of sleep + <anything> = I’ll donate my gall bladder and its stones for some sleep.
