Sandwiches!

[SPACERACE]

avocado is the butter of vegetables, and for that i love it. an avocado sandwich should be kept fairly simple, in my opionion. avocado, little olive oil and balsamic (holla), salt and pepper.

[FreddyKnuckles]

add to what he just said:

several slices of bacon

This is true, although the roasted garlic paste I made last night was pretty close to butter-consistency.  The only difference is that I could never just eat butter by itself, with a fork.

That's some serious vampire-destructor shit, right there.

Sprouts taste too much like dirt to me.

No way, sprouts taste like refreshing water of love.

...from the hose behind the garden shed.

[rockmeamadeus]

I am not all about the sprouts, but hell yeah to the avocado on sandwiches. It should be kept relatively simple... but I like mine on foccaccia with turkey and tomatoes and sure man a few slives of bacon... you slap half an avocado on that and you have a delicious sandwich.

Godamn I am starving this thread is killing me.

brussell sprouts no (would be difficult on a sandwich anyway, i suppose) but alfalfa sprouts? oh hell yes! yum, yum, yum.

[Greg Nog]

Man, am I the only one that grew up with a big garden in the backyard?

DIRT ON EVERYTHING MAKES YOU HEALTHY.

WE HAD A GARDEN BUT ALSO RUNNING WATER WITH WHICH TO WASH OFF THE DIRT

the ex-bestfriend's mom used to give me armfuls of fresh summer squash and zucchini from her garden and it was the best thing ever.

I love what this thread has turned into.

I would like to take this opportunity to mention that I did not, in fact, have a big garden in the backyard.  My backyard was not even big enough to fit one of those huge trampolines they sell at Sam's Club for $1000 -- oh, for shame.

[nonotyet]

Man, am I the only one that grew up with a big garden in the backyard?

No sir, you are not. I used to straight-up eat clover, chives and mint out of my garden. My mom made us wash everything, though, mostly because she was convinced that the roaming neigborhood cats pissed on all contents of her backyard and cat piss on everything does not, in point of fact, make you healthy. However, I am Team Not Alfalfa Sprout Any Other Kind Of Sprout But That Please God.

Running water?  This ain't the Ritz.

Let's hear it for nibbling herbs from the ground when your parents aren't around!

I defy you to a contest of health, and we will see whether Greg the Pee-Eater or Nonotyet the Sterile has the stronger immune system.

URINE NOW
URINE FOREVER

At my dad's house there's a huge garden.  Half of the backyard was mowed over and tilled under and for ten or fifteen years now he's been growing tomatoes, corn, watermelon, radishes, peppers, etc.  It's fucking marvelous.

Uhh, I don't know about youse guys but when I was growing up, I ALWAYS drank from the garden hose during the summer, and it was the most beautiful and wonderful refreshment in the world, and tasted maybe a little like bubble gum.  What the hell, did you guys pack around Perrier water, or something?

Fuck yes, dude.  This is right on.  The hose water was my favourite water in the world.

[FreddyKnuckles]

the worst though, is when it had been sitting on the lawn in the sun all day and the first 15 seconds or so was hot.  ugh, nasty.

...I went into the kitchen to drink water if I was thirsty.

[Andrew_TSKS]

i know exactly what freddy is talking about with the start of it being hot. oh man.

but yeah, i drank out of the hose in the summer too--though my mom would get upset if i let my mouth touch the hose.

Mom didn't let me inside the house until it was dark out!

And the secret to the hot water conundrum is that you spray it on your friend, then when it gets cool, drink it.  Then spray some more.

[morgan]

Hey, I grew up in the '80s!  In a city!

I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
