You Know You're an Assimilated Californian When...

...you make a salad with avocado in it AND your friends think that's perfectly normal.

I had never thought of avocado as something savory before. Growing up, we'd have it mashed up with milk and sugar (and maybe some shaved ice) as a dessert or snack. YUM! Then I got here and was introduced to guacamole. Who knew? Yes, Mexican food did not do so well in Manila.

Today, I found myself making a salad to take along to a picnic and I thought: Why not throw some avocado in there? So I did. It was delicious.

I shall make some more tomorrow.
