I made dinner for my wife last night, that consisted of an amazing Endive salad, with apples, avocado, various nuts, and a vinaigrette I made with avocado oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, lime juice, maple syrup, and Italian spices (basil, oregano, thyme).

It was blow-your-mind good!

And she looked at me with those eyes, all full of love, and gave me a huge kiss and then made all the yummy noises as she ate.

Happy happy happy!

Is avocado oil worth the buy? Every time I see it I'm like 'Meh, I like avocado, but do I like it $$$ much?'

It is definitely differently flavored than olive oil, so it has different uses.

There some sort of blah blah blah about avocado oil not breaking down and getting cooties in high heat situations, or whatever, but who gives a shit.

It's just another fat source with a different flavor. So it has its uses.

Nice! Next time share the proper recipe and some photos and post to #grubski -I would totally make that.

Recipe? Hmm.

I'm more of a chemist than a cook. I understand the properties of the materials I am using, and then combine them in complementary ways. But I'll see if I can nail down some quantities, and come up with a recipe!
