Playing a record is sooo hard... taking the record out of the sleeve, lifting the tone arm - oh, the effort. lol (Yeah Gary that's for your benefit - you crack me up.)

I'm starting to buy records again. I still have my old records in an orange crate in the basement but they got played a zillion times and I didn't exactly treat them well in my younger days so in the basement they shall stay.

And why is it that after buying some of the same things on cassette, then CD, that we're back to records?!?! Maybe that's why I still have a cassette player, because I got tired of buying the same thing in a different format and now we're back to where we started anyway. If you wait long enough...

I have an 8 track player in the basement. Now that may have been a miss in the evolution of recorded music.

Considering how they always managed to put your favorite song on the entire album right at the end of the tape so you'd have to flip it over in the middle of the song.. ya... I'd say that was an engineering fail.. lol

The only real use for 8-tracks anymore is to make those of us who had them feel old

Hey, don't make fun of the 8 track player. I still have a stereo with one built in and it still works. I still have all my 8 tracks as well. I am prepared dude.

Oh if only they were peaches then life would be heaven.

Oh well, since you are stuck with Avocados you might try Avocado pie.

Ingredients
For the Crust:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Pinch of salt

For the Filling:
2 medium hass avocados
1 8 -ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 14 -ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Whipped cream or confectioners' sugar, for garnish (optional)

Directions
Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush an 8-inch springform pan with some of the melted butter. Mix the remaining butter with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

Make the filling: Halve and pit the avocados, then scoop out the flesh and chop. Transfer to a bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk, lime and lemon juices, and the salt and beat until fluffy, scraping the bowl as needed. Pour the filling into the crust, press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface and chill at least 4 hours.

Remove the springform ring and slice the pie. Garnish with whipped cream or confectioners' sugar, if desired, and serve immediately (the top will start to brown as the pie sits).

And these are not your average Haas avocados. They are super creamy inside. Often we'd take them whole to the Hollywood Bowl and easily swirl up a guacamole mix with a thin plastic spoon.

Gary had a wonderful peach tree when he lived in Palos Verdes. It came with the house and Gary imagined the tree to be 50 years old. Every other year that tree feed the whole neighborhood and the dogs would get their exercise from jumping up to reach the fruit. Gary wants a peach tree but Mary Lou doesn't saying we'll just be feeding the birds.

Gary ain't making no avocado pie! These are all about tacos, guacamole, tacos, soups, tacos, salads, tacos, enchiladas, tacos, burritos, tacos, burgers, et al ... and maybe tacos.

Morning, hosers,

I looooooove me an avocado! I don't know what this is about an avocado pie, but it sounds just wrongedy wrong wrong. I remember the guacamole at Burrito Brothers in Gainesville. They were right across campus, a little hole in the wall type of place, which of course meant their food was awesome

I've been wanting tacos for days.
