Is Avocado Toast Just A California Thing?
There are few things I love more than a perfectly poached egg. Pair it with Avocado Toast and I’m all in! It’s a simple to prepare, healthy breakfast.
Unfortunately, my chickens have to live a “cooped-up” life. I don’t think they’d stand a chance around here without a maximum security penitentiary. There are far too many predators, from owls and bobcats to coyotes. Now, having said that, it’s sort of like the prison El Chappo had built to his specifications for his incarceration in Columbia. Super plush, except for the prostitutes and occasional murders. I don’t think anything like that’s going on here, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t a secret tunnel. What I mean is, life isn’t too bad for these chicks! They live a pretty luxurious existence.
Every day I clean, bring them treats, fluff their nests and yet, they tell me how it’s gonna be. I went to get the eggs the other day and Marigold, “The Prison Enforcer” actually pecked my leg in a surprise attack, as I was reaching for the eggs. It left a mark! She be little, but she be fierce! That’s what happens when you leave the hens to rule the roost.
As I’ve said before, I live in a avocado mecca. I have chickens with nothing better to do with their days, but to lay eggs so it’s a no-brainer………Avocado Toast! I’m actually a little hesitant to post this because it seems like such a fad, but there’s good reason for loving this popular dish. And around here, I’m telling you, this breakfast favorite isn’t going anywhere. If you want a something to eat that will keep you full until it’s time for lunch, give this a try if you haven’t already. You’ll love it. There are so many creative ways to make this your own. Try with any combination of toppings you love!
