THANK YOU SCARBELLY !!!

I got a care package from my Buddy "Scarbelly" last week---What a guy !!!!
Gary sent me a bag of his Awesome Smoked Mixed Nuts. They didn't last long, as my Son helped devour them during the Penn State game.
He also sent me some Avocados!!!
I never had Avocados before, and I tried just tasting it fresh, but it didn't thrill me.
However, Gary also sent me a couple of Avocado recipe links, so I had all kinds of options to use these beautiful California Avos with.
As you will see below, my favorite was the Avocado-Cornbread Muffins. They were very good, and even better after I poured a little real maple syrup on them, and nuked them up a little!!!
I also stirred up a mixture of Salsa & Avocado for a pretty tasty Dip to use on some "Scoops".
I didn't take any pictures of the nuts, but here is a link to a great thread.

BTW: I didn't have any "Whole Milk", so I used 2 ounces of Butter Milk, and one ounce of 2% Milk---Worked Great !
