AVOCADO TOAST!

dudes,
i made avocado toast.
what?
well, yeah, i have been vegan for like a quarter century...
what's that got to do with avocado toast?
oh.
i shoulda been had some by now.
gotcha.
well, better late than never, i s'pose.
sorry for the delay.
ANYway, check the 'port:

WOW!
dawn's early light makes for not-great pictures,
but i bet you see what's poppin' over here, don'tcha?
word up.
now, there's homemade white mountain white sourdough,
toasted up to a crunchy, crusty golden level of expertism,
plus half a perfectly ripe mashed avocado,
and toasted two-tone sesame seeds,
and cracked black pepper,
and sriracha flakes,
and sharp, zesty radishes,
and cool, crucial cilantro sprankles to turn it up to eleven.
hmmm?
well, yeah, man- too much is the right amount,
and besides, i've got a lotta catchin' up to do, y'know?
it was great, of course, since everything on it was already awesome anyway.
but,
when you add in some superveggie scrambo,
and those crisp skin-on oven-roasted homeboyfries?
man, now you have got yourself a big B and you're winning at mornings.

it does look good, though, doesn't it?
i used to never eat avocados.
the texture seemed like it would be weird.
and then, one day, after years of avoiding them,
i decided to put my big boy pants on, and make some guacamole.
the domino effect created a landslide of avo-F*ing-cado hottness
that's been steadily growing in momentum for many many moons now.
i'm embarrassed to admit i wouldn't eat them,
back in the old days,
simply because my constant dinner companion would consistently vivisect
the meals i'd make for her, and i really honestly thought i was retaliating
by abstaining from these green alligator pears.
so dumb.
not only was i getting a truly hostile critique of my cooking,
but i was also missing out on all this goodness.
no more of that, bro.
now it's avocado time all the time.
i tried to get a shot in artificial light:

no bueno.
don't do that, dudes.
yellow light makes your food look like it's got jaundice.
and i don't wanna eat that.
-
i had red onion, blackened tomatoes, rainbow peppers, cilantro, scallions, and spinach
all loaded into my exxxtra-firm tofu scrambo,
along with GPOP, nootch, pink salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and turmeric.
that's how it's done, and with MORE veggies, it's MORE expert.
i like that.
-
the homeboy fries were baked first, with olive oil, and black pepper,
and Garlic Powder and Onion Powder, until they were browned up and crissssssp.
then they got smoky paprika-activated and sizzled up with chunks of red onion
and a pat of vegan butter to make it POP, son.
ha!
my potato game is always hella tight.
i don't get down with budget spuds, bruh.
believe it.

i used my oven to make a tart, too.
i mean, i'm all for roasty potatoes, but i need to make more use of my space.
and if there's a big box of hot ready to go,
i'mma get it going, for sure.
no sense in wasting time, or effort.
there's only what you can do in a day, so it's best to do as much as you can fit,
or else, you've only managed to live less, i guess.
i wanna live MORE.
i want all the love, and all the words, and all the food, and all the work,
and all the art, and everything always to fill up the places and spaces in between.
there's no time for wastin',
there's only time for doin';
never quiet, never soft.....
