Healthy Lunch ...

This Saturday, after finishing up some chores - I came to my question of the day ... What do I cook today? Happened to see an ad on TV featuring avocados, and since there were a few sitting in my fridge - decided to whip up - Avocado Bruschetta for lunch.







It was easy to make, all I did was -
Chop up some onions, grape tomatoes, green chillies.
Add a teaspoon of lime juice & salt to taste.
Let the mixture sit in the fridge.
In the mean time - Brushed some bread with olive oil and rubbed a shredded garlic clove on it.
Toasted the bread in the oven.
Chop up an avocado and added it to the onion-tomato-chillies mixture. Add some finely chopped corriander and mixed it up to let the flavors mingle.
Once the bread was done, layered the bread with the avocado mixture and garnished it with a sprig of mint. Voila ! A tasty healthy meal was prepared in minutes. :)

Weekend in Colorado

Off to Denver ... A long awaited weekend with my cousins. Four of us had planned to meet up in Denver and drive on to Aspen. Since this tied in with the 4th of July Independence day weekend, it was perfect timing.



Two of my cousins were flying in from Portland, while one of them drove from Snowmass to Denver to pick us up.



The flight was delayed by a bit, and so was my cousin who drove to the airport to pick me up - so it was perfect timing.
