Had dinner with Jennifer last night. We prepared tuna steaks with avacado and soy sauce plus wonderfully incredible salads. And wine, plenty of wine.
I like avacado in my sushi because it has a nice mild flavor that doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
It's weird to see this many avocadoes in the house. Usually the number I see at any given time is zero.
i have really been into making sushi lately, so it naturally became a nice project for a strobist beginner. these two with the white sweep also have washed out rice. and do you think they are underexposed?
strobist data: homemade collasible macro studio. sb-600 fired at 1/16 from right hand side. white bounce angled 45 degrees from upper left. ISO 200, f 5.6, 1/400th sutter. triggered via PC cable.
scraped my fridge and found avacado and tomato to go with the corned beef, not sure what to call this sandwich.
Spent the day at home today with my girl who had a mishap at school this morning. Besides her tears and aches after falling on the ice, my day was glorious. I baked banana bread and played Hotwheels with my favorite little man and we ended the day playing cowboys and outlaws. The whole family ended up joining the fun. Next week I will begin my new schedule and have more days like this on a regular basis, and I just can't wait. These are the kind of days I have dreamed about for so long, and having it on a regular basis is so close I can taste it!
Ingredients:
-1/2 cup Wild Blackberries
Blackberries:
Polyphenols found in dark berries may help reduce cognitive decline in older age by cleaning up cells that impair brain function, researchers at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston say.
Blackberries are also hugely fiber-rich—one cup has almost8 of the 25 grams you need daily.
-1/2 Avocado
Avocado:
We always have avocados on our counter. They are a big part of our diet. We toss them in smoothies, make guacamole and constantly eat them by themselves. These green gems contain almost 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds that will boost your smoothie real fast and make it extra creamy. They are loaded with heart-healthy fats that will keep your skin glowing and your tummy full longer.
-1 Cup of Pomegranate Juice
(I used Pomegranate Blackberry juice)
Pomegranate juice has been analyzed to have greater antioxidant capacity than red wine, grape juice, cranberry juice, green tea or acai juice. Drinking pomegranate juice measurably reduces oxidative stress (the toxic effects of free radicals) in healthy humans. Much research has shown that pomegranate’s potent antioxidant capacity provides protection against heart disease, cancer and cognitive impairment.
Health Benefits of Pomegranates
Anti-cancer:
Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory effects that may protect against cancer and other chronic diseases.
Pomegranate has anti-angiogenic properties, meaning that they may help to prevent growing tumors from acquiring a blood supply, preventing those tumors from receiving the nutrients that would allow them to grow larger.
Pomegranate is one of the few foods (mushrooms are another) that contain natural aromatase inhibitors. This means that they inhibit the production of estrogen, which can reduce breast cancer risk.
After treatment for prostate cancer, two studies have shown that pomegranate juice or supplements slowed the increase in PSA.
Protects Against Heart Disease.
Pomegranate phytochemicals reduce LDL oxidation (a contributor to atherosclerotic plaque development).
Pomegranate phytochemicals have blood pressure-reducing properties.
In a study of patients with severe carotid artery blockages, after one ounce of pomegranate juice daily for one year, there was a 30 percent reduction in atherosclerotic plaque. In striking contrast, in the participants who did not take the pomegranate juice atherosclerotic plaque increased.
Guards Memory and Brain Function
Pomegranate supplements taken before and after surgery prevented the postoperative memory dysfunction associated with coronary artery bypass or heart valve surgery.
- A Few Drops of Pure Vanilla Extract for flavor
-A Handful of Ice cubes
Directions:
Add everything in a blender & blend until smooth!
Garnish if desired :)
Optional Toppings:
-Topped with Lavender
-Wild Blackberries

Tony was fascinated to learn that avocados can be used in hair care products. He thought they were only used to make Grocamole.
A yummy sandwich and homemade potato chips fried in olive oil. From Cafe Du Soleil in San Francisco.
200 Fillmore St
7 Eleven Convenience Store located at Venice Blvd. and Sepulveda Blvd. in West Los Angeles, California. Was one of two 7 Eleven Stores that became a KWIK Mart for the 2007 Simpson's Movie. The facade is currently being renovated. One of xx photos of this site. This 7 Eleven is next to a strip mall that also contains Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Store and Howard's Avacado Burgers.
Served with Miso Soup, Salad, Salmon Avacado Roll (3 pcs.), California Roll (3pcs.), Steamed Rice & Ice Cream for $10.
Quite a deal for the complete package given. The quality was also a step up from most "cheap" sushi restaurants. Other proteins (black cod, etc) are available for a similar value driven price (give or take $1-2).
