One-fifth of a medium avocado, or about one ounce, has 50 calories and contributes nearly 20 beneficial nutrients to the diet. I ate the other half of this one and I feel strong like a small-to-medium sized snapping turtle.

Sunday night BBQ.
The boys had burgers....we had chicken and sausage.
Nothing fancy but good food and good fun.
OH and on Saturday night Carla hosted a game night. We ate very well that night too but for some reason I didn't take one photo of the food...how stupid. We had scallops (that were like candy) from the farmers market, the best garlic bread I've ever eaten, cheeses and chorizo. Here is a shot of the game before I lost all my $$ and flipped the board over in a fit of rage.

It is a fantastic "Princess Cake", a traditional Sweedish confection with a blanket of green martzipan on which were 40 hand made martzipan ladybugs, three layers of perfect and tasty white cake between which were sandwiched fluffy homemade creme fresh and berry layers. This magnificent sculptural creation was made recently for Herbs on her 40th birthday by her Sweedish friend, Charlotta, an amazing artist and chef.
Herbs hopes that when you turn 40 you too will get 40 hand made ladybugs.

We had Easter Ham, Easter Lamb, Easter Fava Beans, and Easter biscuits at Tina and Marc's house. There were almost 20 people there and it was a mighty feast. Toward the end of the party, when Matt was in a white van on the street smoking hash, I found a cozy place in the bedroom and "surfed the internet."



I ate three pieces of Easter Coconut cake. I even took some home. But I felt guilty and threw them away the next morning. You have to draw the line somewhere.
