Yesterday we went to the Avocado Festival for the first time.
I enjoyed it much more than the Lemon Festival the previous weekend.
Location had a lot to do with it.
A tree-lined street in a seaside town has more atmosphere than a flat tree-less soccer field.
The mascot did his part to spread peace, love and guacamole.
Hope it rubbed off on this guy!
There were all manner of avocados, from the pristine and untouched...
To the pulverized...
An avocado-headed scarecrow was one of the more creative touches.
I couldn't find the avocado ice cream, but I saw avocado bread and avocado oil.
I ate an avocado BLT and Handy had a tri-tip and guacamole sandwich.
Of course, there was guacamole. On everything.
Holy guaca-moly, I love the stuff.
I brought home a small tub of prize-winning guac to share with Frank and Ernest.
Ever since Ernest had guacamole made table-side (in New York, of all places) this summer,
he has been working on perfecting his guacamole recipe.
Perhaps he'll whip up a batch this weekend.
Oh.My.God. Absolute heaven!! I would love to have guac on everything.
ReplyDeleteCan there be too much guacamole? I think not. What a cool festival.
ReplyDeleteWhy was I not there??
ReplyDeleteI love tri tip, but you don't get it here.
This beats the Lentil Festival by a bowlful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteMy husband insisted that he hated guac until he actually tried it about a month ago. Now, it's on everything!
Please let us know when this is coming up next year - I would love to head down for it!!
ReplyDeleteGreen heaven!
ReplyDeleteWow! that looks amazing! Never knew there was such a festival - was that in SB?
