THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I love things that are indesciblable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of gardenia

My favorite way to use avocados is in quacamolie. I get individual packs of it at the store. They are handy way for me to snack on corn tostados . The first time I had it, it was very hot, I like mine mild. I don’t put the peppers in it.
Monday is my day to cook up something new for dinner and on the menu is:
Egg - Vegetable Salad Wraps
Makes 6 servings
6 hard cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
1/2 cup chopped yellow sumer squash or zucchini
1 coo shredded carrot
2 Tbsp chopped red onion
1 cup mayonaise
2 Tbsp, Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp.dried tarragin or basil, crushed
6 leaves lettuce
6, 7 inch whole wheat tortillas
2 tomatoes, Thinly sliced
Combine eggs, cucumber, squash, carrot and red onion in a bowl, For dressing stir together mayonaise, mustard, tarragon and paprika in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over egg mixture, toss gently to coat.
To fill each sandwich, place a lettuce leaf on a tortilla. Place 3 or 4 tomato slices on the lettuce , slightly off center, Spoon about 1/2 cup of egg mixture on top of tomato slices. Roll up tortilla, if necessary
secure with tooth picks. Cut the tortilla rolls in half crosswise to serve.
This is a new sandwich recipe for me, but it does sound good for a summer meal. It’s to be close to 80 degrees today so it will be a cool refreshing dinner to have.
I hope you all have a have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !
