I eat avocados, I eat toast. What am I missing in "avocado toast""

[UTUSN]

To qualify myself as a lapsed fringe Hippie, I have maintained milk-fat-is-lethal, but not no-fried-foods, and have resumed vitamin pills.

Doctor asked what vegetables I eat, I said avocados and tomatoes?

1. You just need a sprinkle of Everything Bagel.

2. I just do horrible salt on everything, which explains my power struggle with my cardiologist

whom I'm firing.

[UTUSN]

3. Salt, my fault. Have to figure who to notify love y'all when I croak.

12. Why not use Kosher Salt?

The larger coarser flatter grains allow you to use less and still taste the same
degree of saltiness...

13. Haven't used because I didn't know what you just taught me, thanks.

4. I eat an avocado almost daily

I read that long-term, they help with cholesterol. I've started maybe 2013 or 2014. My cholesterol runs a little high, but hasn't gotten worse over the years.

I usually just season the avocado with a little salt, pepper, cayenne, and Badia Complete. I tried avocado toast a couple of years ago and have it once in awhile as a treat. I bake my own bread, so it's a tasty combination. It's a favorite with my adult kids, too.

I think there are 2-4 servings in each avocado, so even if you don't get a varied diet, you're getting some vegetables in your diet.

6. A cristo-fascist doctor mocked me when I asked about garlic to help with whatever.

He said, sneeringly, "Do you know how much garlic you would have to eat to match what is in a PILL (of medication)?!1"'"

Over time, I ran into somebody who said, "You go to HIM?! He 'treated' me for something-kidney for months and it turned out to be CANCER!"

And then somebody from a cristo "non-denominational' outfit said he parades in the congregation every Sunday, all arrogant.

And one time at an Emergency Room an almighty doctor was totally judgmental, then disappeared when the X-rays disproved his judgment.

10. I go to the doctor annually

because my ins. mandates a visit and I get a gift card if I go

I went to the same doctors' office for years. My dr. and 2 of his nurse practitioners retired last December and into the Spring. I just met a new nurse practitioner, hoping we can develop a relationship that works.

5. I like Alton Brown's sherried sardine avocado toast..yumm.. color me old burnt out hippie...nt

[UTUSN]

7. Sounds interesting but complicated. I'll take it if prepared for me, not me doing it.

[mitch96]

15. Naw.. just pop the sardines and drain the oil into a bowl. Pore the sherry vinegar into the tin of sardines.

wait about ½ hour. While waiting make your avocado toast. When the time is over put the sardines over the toast/avocado mix and drizzle some oil over it...Yum!!
This only works if you like sardines... I like the little brisling sardines.. Full of good omega 3 fats..
and less expensive than salmon..

8. Lemon pepper works well on Avo Toast

Really good, whole grain/seedy bread is better that plain white or wheat imo.

Trader Joe’s sourdough is also decent.

I also put cooked egg whites on it sometimes. Or a whole yolk egg, but that very rarely.

[UTUSN]

9. O-tay, point by point:

* I do whole grain bread

* Egg whites - no

* Avocados fine, nothing added but salt

[Bristlecone]

11. I guess the question " what am I missing" was rhetorical?

I misunderstood.

[UTUSN]

14. By no means. Your suggestion is valuable, thanks.
