The Write Side of Life Inspired By The Light (June 22 – June 29)

Midsummer traditionally pays tributes the writings of Shakespeare. I think it is a perfect time to catch up with the writing of special notes to dear friends and family. During December, quick notes are just that – quick notes. Some photocopy letters for multi-coverage. That works to touch base but when was the last time that you sat down to write a kind note to a respected friend or cherished relative? The midsummer and long summer evenings have extra daylight for just such thoughts. For more writing time, summer croissants allow for quick preparation with chilled fillings. Be it fillings of chicken salad; turkey salad; ham salad or avocado salad, all offer creative freshness. Avocados are classified as a fruit because the single seed is considered a “berry.” There are over 80 varieties of avocados. Consider the varieties of Pinkerton, Reed, Hass, Lamb Hass, Gwen or Fuerte for flavor exploration. Try my avocado croissant filling while writing to treasured friends during the bright light of summer and enjoy the “write” side of life. Kelly McBride Loft

Avocado Croissant Filling

For each ripe avocado (mashed), add ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 medium diced tomato. Be sure to hand squeeze the diced tomato to remove most of the juice before adding it to the mixture.

Cover the avocado filling with plastic wrap that is pressed against the filling to keep the delicious filling from turning brown until ready to serve. Spoon the avocado mixture onto split croissants for a delightful experience.
