The radishes should be thinly sliced and in a single layer. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper then cut into finger food sized pieces. For garnish add a bit of parsley, and a spritz of lemon. It makes an interesting appetizer.<br /><br />If you're on a farm, slather butter on two pieces of fresh baked bread, slice the radishes about 3/8" thick and apply so that there are as few gaps as possible. Top that with some very thin onion slices and salt like you mean it. A teaspoon at a minimum. Eat it whole, like an entree. It makes a good meal.Avg Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301873113962640644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-92183726814566285982013-01-02T19:27:57.291-06:002013-01-02T19:27:57.291-06:00I've now read the whole blog and laughed all t...I've now read the whole blog and laughed all the way through!

We have many Latino and Mexican neighbors, but the rest of us have adopted the avocado, too. Mexican cuisine, including guacamole, is popular here. And we love our salsa.<br /><br />I make a dip that layers refried beans, taco seasoning, mashed avocado, grated cheddar (or other types of cheese)sliced green onions and chopped tomatoes. I serve it with corn chips. It disappears rapidly.<br /><br />I love BLTs. I will have to add avocados the next time.
