Also there were eighty-six tests they still needed to take on his way out the door, fourteen blood, forty-six pee, three skin, fourteen hair (this includes six eyelash), two elbow, three right ear and four classified

My! Just how much of him was left to load into the car?!

Very good news that Peter is back home and can now be fed real human food on a regular basis - and that you can try and unwind enough to get a little regular sleep. Very happy for both of you. Smile

And re the avocados, do either of you like the breakfast that is wholemeal toast spread with half a small ripe avocado and topped with crispy bacon? Very nourishing and delicious. Smile

So wonderful to hear that Peter is home at last. Smile

May he continue to improve!

Peter's home, good news!

Now take care of yourself too.

I'm still good-vibing like crazy for both of you, just to be safe.

Happy bear dance on your behalf.

YIP YAHOO! Congrats to Peter and you on his successful escape, and good wishes for continued improvement.

We’ve been very good you know, this week, we’ve eaten!!!

Bravo hellhounds for being helpful throughout all this.

we’re crawling with avocados

::thinks of couscous salad with black beans and avocados:: Yum!

It’s not even midnight. I’m not sure I know how to go to bed this early.

I know the feeling. Smile

And I hope you slept anyway.

I'm so glad you have Peter safely home Smile

And also that Hellhounds have been behaving themselves (fingers crossed they continue with this trend!)

I'll keep the candles going though, just in case!

Delighted to hear he's home, and hope that the roast chicken will work its usual your-family magic.

I adore avocados - in a sandwich with bacon or smoked salmon is my favourite way of eating them, but also chopped up with tomatoes in vinaigrette. Or the old 1970s way of cutting them in half, removing the stone, filling the hollow with vinaigrette and eating the result with a spoon. I believe the hollow can also be filled with prawn cocktail, but I don't eat prawns so I wouldn't know whether that is nice or not. And, of course, guacamole.

My favourite breakfast is wholemeal toast spread with avocado and topped with sliced fresh tomato, generously seasoned with salt and ground black pepper. I've been having it recently using up the last of our summer crop of tomatoes. Yum.

What good news that Peter is on the road to recovery. Best wishes to you both.

I'm sooo glad to hear that Peter is home now. There's no place like hospitals to make certain that you won't get ANY rest whatsoever. I hope his recovery will be swift and that he will be able to eat. And here's hoping that your amount of sleep will increase.

Thank goodness you've got Peter home. I agree with others here who've made the observation that hospitals are among the worst places to recuperate.

Avocado recipe: chopped avocado and strips of oven-roasted red pepper, tossed in dressing of equal parts walnut oil and balsamic vinegar, seasoned with black pepper. Spread liberally over wholemeal toast. Toasted walnut bread is even better!

Yippee, hooray for Peter's homecoming!

I usually just slice my avocados over a leafy green salad-in summer it's especially nice with tomatoes, red peppers, and sweet corn with lemony vinaigrette. In the winter a leafy salad topped with avocado, beets, bacon, shreds of roast chicken and/or hard-cooked egg makes a good entree. Avocados are also great sliced on a turkey (or roast chicken) sandwich.

These posts have made me crave avocados, so I went and got one...and it was bad. :sigh:

Well, when I get a good one I'll have lots of ideas for what to do with it. Wink

If I'm looking for a ready-to-eat avocado, I always get at least one backup, because the chances are good that one of them will be bad. The best way is to plan ahead and buy them hard and green and ripen them at home, but of course that doesn't do for cravings . . . Smile

Even when I ripen them at home I'm not very good at judging "the right time"(TM). It's always a crapshoot. A good avocado is SO good that it's worth the gamble.
