avocados=very green vegetable oil

i hesitate to post this at all because i know that a lot of you probably really like avocados. as you should, they are f'in great! they taste good, they have a good texture, you can use them on a bunch of things...they rock! sure you almost always cut your thumb off trying to remove that giant seed thing in the middle. but it's worth it. you have another thumb. they are crazy little slimy green pods of deliciousness.

yesterday i went over to tim's house after work to drink shiner and eat guacamole, which he made with 4 small avocados among other things. it was an assload of guac. and between himself, me, and lidia...we polished it all off. we came up with this plan to avoid eating cheese fries at fitzwilly's. well my friends, apparently it wouldn't have mattered much. check out this scary ass nutritional information about avocados: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-001-02s00h8.html the only saving grace is that they are low in sodium, but i'm pretty sure the tortilla chips and salt added to the guac took care of that benefit for us. i'm pretty sure i'll be extending my time at the gym today!

the good news is that mcdonald's has a really good new "salad." salad gets put in quotes because it's apples, grapes, a cup of low-fat yogurt, and candied walnuts. it actually is pretty healthy, which hopefully balances out a bit of the caloric intake from yesteday. see for yourself: http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=10118

back to doing butt clenches at my desk. :) stupid evil avocados!
