Heeeeyyy. I take offense. I love avocado toast, almond milk and organic food. And I’m no liberal! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😉 Oh wait. I’m offended. Maybe I am a liberal 😱

Had a wondrous thing happen to me back in 1997! My hubby and I took my youngest son, Jeremy, and his betrothed, Tracy, to see "NOAH" at the Sight & Sound Theater in Lancaster, PA area. Right after exiting the theater--I immediately noticed a DOUBLE RAINBOW in the sky (it had been raining heavily all day). What a blessed "assurance" is The Word and our Everlasting, Omnipotent, Omnipresent Creator God!!
The only reason it is even associated with California is because Hass avocados are the best tasting avocado on the planet...My mom taught me to make avocado sandwiches back in the 60s. (For the record she wasn't liberal either.)
Not just avocados, our beautiful state continues to grow the most food in the US, and I promise every person at C&C would love the hard-working Central Valley farmers (no exaggeration;))!! California is not LA or San Fran, even though they control our INSANE politics. Gosh, I signed the recall petition, twice! Many of us here would love to share Newsom with you all lol 😂
I agree! Oregon is the same. Portland and Eugene run the state and the insane politics. Some other smaller blue areas as well. The rest of Oregon is RED! We signed Oregons recall petition twice too. It was our last ditch effort before we left Oregon for greener pastures. A lot of good it did.
California is getting ruined just like gorgeous Oregon. Now they are both ugly. But we still love the people that are there fighting and working hard to produce food for the rest of us! You speak truth!
As one of those married to a Central Valley generational native who grew up driving tractor before he could drive a car and living in the Central Valley for the past 30 years - I can attest that the farmers and most communities here are full of God fearing hard working conservative folks. More food has been grown and processed here than anywhere in the world acre for acre. At least until the loony demonrats stole our state. Even now, our rural way of life is much better than any city (I grew up in San Diego so I have an idea) I have ever lived in. I just wish we could extricate ourselves from the evil that is now the commifornia politician.
So many election abnormalities in the propositions alone for decades - hard not to see election tampering. Are there a lot of uneducated electors here - yes but not enough to account for the majority of democrats in office.
And guess what can help lower bad cholesterol? Avocados! Why would establishment doctors spend so much time trying to tell us it is fatty and unhealthy? That’s all I ever heard growing up. Until I grew up! Now when my bad cholesterol rises I increase avocados in my diet and down down it goes. 🤦🏼♀️
We love our Avo toast but skip the toast sometimes....... lay it on strips of bacon..... and topped with some sour cream. Fun to play around with that recipe especially when your hanging out in the SW deserts of Arizona all winter~
I’m a vegan conservative. Have been vegetarian, now vegan for almost 35 years. I stand against animal abuse, torture and slaughter. I think it’s barbaric and just plain gross to feast on the flesh of a corpse.
Thanks Sunny, I’ll look for that. I’m not a true Celiac, but the sensitivity is enough to make me avoid it. I often feel like a pariah, my husband doesn’t understand, and my friends look at me like I’m a crazy hypochondriac. And there’s a lot of us, but we’re not “normal”. The worst is when everyone wants pizza! Or any Italian food, I used to think it was the spices that made me sick, but finally realized it was the gluten.
I know it’s real. We took my daughter GF before the diagnosis and have dealt with her digestion issues for over 10 years because we didn’t know what it was. Removed dairy as well because we were desperate. Then found out it is celiac. Tried reintroducing dairy and that didn’t go well anyway.
I fought this for so long because I thought gf was a popular fad and I wanted no part of it. But it’s real whether it’s celiac or a sensitivity. You can’t argue what your body is telling you! My husband is on board but he gets irritated with all the cross contamination details.
We very rarely do pizza out anymore and if we do I find an alternative for my daughter. However….we did find a gluten free pizza crust - Caulipower brand - and I use a gf marinara sauce. Rao’s. Costco carrie’s it but so do lots of grocery stores. My family tasted my daughters pizza and wanted to know why I was holding out on them! 😂 It is loaded with veggies and meats. Now I have to make everyone’s pizza that way. 😂 I add cheese to theirs. And my daughter does no cheese or a dairy free cheese which we think is gross but she likes it cuz it’s “cheese” 😂
And we found a great gf pasta that isn’t mushy and slimy. My daughter is eating much more healthy, and so are we, because of her going gf. Chin up. Do what makes your body feel better. Get creative and you won’t go without. My daughter has had to give up some foods she loved but I do my best to prepare foods as similar as possible to what the family eats so she doesn’t feel singled out. She loves when I do that.
Thanks again Sunny! Your daughter is very lucky to have a mom who is willing to listen and to COOK for her. The research and cooking are a challenge, as you know! Since my husband isn't on board with this, I often find myself making two meals.
I hope I’ve said something encouraging. I sometimes do still have to make two meals. But I find ways to eliminate as much extra cooking as I can cuz truth be told I hate cooking. 😂 I only do it to keep my family alive 😂. My daughter is 30 and special needs developmentally disabled so she can’t take care of herself. Therefore I cook. 😂 My family reaps the benefit of me still needing to cook. Haha.
I hope your husband can see the difference in how you feel and get on the more encouraging side for you ♥️
I'm so grateful that my hubs was so supportive when I discovered that I had celiacs. He immediately offered to give up pasta (and he was half-Italian) and only eat gluten free so I wouldn't have to make two meals. I still bought him bread, so he had to struggle with the cross contamination issue, but I just couldn't force him to only eat GF bread!
Alas! Our backward little West Texas town doesn’t rate a Trader Joe’s. I don’t know if it’s a population factor, or that we don’t register on the “cool” scale. We’re around 200K and Santa Fe NM is smaller but they have one, I think it’s because they’re “cool”, and they also have a Whole Foods. We have nothing but the humble little Natural Grocers.
You’re probably right. I’d heard that it was based on population, but we are a shopping hub for the surrounding area which would probably add another 150K.
I’m glad we do at least have Natural Grocers, and they are building a new store twice as large as the old one, so they do a great business here!
Having grown up eating avocados daily as we had many trees in our yard and an orchard across the street, I am actually quite saddened by the reputation “avocado toast” has garnered. The liberals need to go find another fruit to stigmatize. If you can’t enjoy the little green goodness an avocado is, don’t waste it because you think it trendy. Leave them for those of us who have eaten them and enjoyed them as they are for over 50 years.
I’ve been told I can’t because of where the tree would need to go and where our septic tank is. And I’ve been our area here it’s harder to grow them….not impossible….just harder. I was willing to try it, but the septic tank made me abandon the idea. Bummed though.
It is the best way!! So easy and delicious!!! And thankfully you can get avocados almost all year wherever you live so you don’t have to grow them - which is not easy without proper conditions!!
I'm in CA and avocados is such a major staple here! My favorite taco is a guacamole taco....heavenly! We use avocados in so many things, I can't imagine anyone disliking them. We had a friend visit from Minnesota a few years ago, and he had never had an avocado and thought they looked gross. He wouldn't even try it! I'm guessing avocados may not be sold in some parts of the country.
Heeeeyyy. I take offense. I love avocado toast, almond milk and organic food. And I’m no liberal! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😉
Oh wait. I’m offended. Maybe I am a liberal 😱
The first step is to admit you have a problem.
;) lol
👆 this 👆 👏👏👏 the 12 step starts with the first step! Bravo Anthony 👏👏👏 thank you well played 😂😂😂😂
😂
I love avocado toast too and I resent that it has become associated with woke well off lefties 😡 They don’t own it! 😛
Just like the rainbow is for everyone! Hope for the world.
Yes! Don’t hi-jack the rainbow!

KATE!!!!! YESSSSS! So many conservatives who are overrun by the politics that I swear just steal elections
So many election abnormalities in the propositions alone for decades - hard not to see election tampering. Are there a lot of uneducated electors here - yes but not enough to account for the majority of democrats in office.
Tractor before Car !!! 😂 of course he did !!
Agree with you 💯! Praying for our state ! 🙏
I know that you learned as a child that sharing is caring, but please don't. Just keep governor Gruesome chained up at the French Laundry...
😂
It’s hard…you know, sometimes misery loves company! Lol 😂
Thank you NT! I love Ca! Just not the politics

Eat more guacamole!
Guess what’s for breakfast? Eating avocado toast as we read and type! 😂
Based Florida Man got my mouth watering this morning. 😂
Wife and I just got some totally fab avo toast from this food truck near Marineland.
https://www.raggasurfcafe.com/ Definitely worth a visit!
Okay. Now I want some! That looks amazing!
I make mine at home and add fresh spinach. 🤤 sooo yummy!
But if I’m in the area I’ll check it out 😉
Their menu is making my mouth water! Definitely need to take a drive down there.
We love our Avo toast but skip the toast sometimes....... lay it on strips of bacon..... and topped with some sour cream. Fun to play around with that recipe especially when your hanging out in the SW deserts of Arizona all winter~
I saw you eat meat. I can attest you are for real and "one of us". ♥
😂 😂 😂 That made me laugh out loud. Hahahaha. Gotta love a chicken enchilada 😋
😂😂😂Yes ma’am! I make a mean chicken enchilada using Ezekiel corn tortillas!
I’m a vegan conservative. Have been vegetarian, now vegan for almost 35 years. I stand against animal abuse, torture and slaughter. I think it’s barbaric and just plain gross to feast on the flesh of a corpse.
Not all vegans are liberals. I’m offended lol.
Very commendable.
I’ll jump on the offended wagon! I love avocado toast, and I’m even more offended because I had to go gluten free and can’t even eat the toast!
My daughter had to too with Celiac. But. I found her a bread that she really likes. Canyon, I think is the brand. GF and no issues with it.
So she still gets to enjoy it 😉
Canyon Bakehouse, available at many stores in the freezer section.
Yes! And non freezer too. Thank you!
Thanks Sunny, I’ll look for that. I’m not a true Celiac, but the sensitivity is enough to make me avoid it.

the canyon one is best out there. We eat a lot of gf but not all. Many stuff is gross
Trader Joe's has the best fresh GF bread available in my opinion. They also have some GF muffins that are killer.

I LOVE Natural Grocers. I try to find them no matter where I am in the West.
Sprouts seems to be like the next Whole Foods. Their all over.
We also love Grocery Outlet. They have an isle or two all Organic and healthier choices. Not sure if NM has a GO
I think it’s population and income. They probably judge where they’re likely to get the most customers and make the most money based on that.
You’re probably right. I’d heard that it was based on population, but we are a shopping hub for the surrounding area which would probably add another 150K.
I’m glad we do at least have Natural Grocers, and they are building a new store twice as large as the old one, so they do a great business here!
great GF bread - canyon bakehouse!

I eat avocados just like they are too! Cut them and grab a spoon 😂 😋 I would plant an avocado tree and lemon tree in my back yard if I could!
You CAN plant a tree. There is a lady here that has one and the avocados off it are the size of my head. Get growing girl!
I’ve been told I can’t because of where the tree would need to go and where our septic tank is. And I’ve been our area here it’s harder to grow them….not impossible….just harder. I was willing to try it, but the septic tank made me abandon the idea. Bummed though.
