Why I Am Pouting & A Recipe

I have foot injury. The arch of my foot is super sore and it hurts if I stand for more than 2 minutes. This MADNESS had been going on all week. How did I obtain this injury? Not sure. My guesses are (a) walking a long way very fast to the Killers concert last week in really high-heeled boots that are a tiny bit too big OR (b) going for a quick 30-minute run on Saturday.

This injury is especially annoying, because our official start-date for triathlon training is Sunday and I want to be at the top of my game. I am going to the doctor today. Hopefully he will give me some magical pills to cure this. Though I suspect he will tell me to stay off of it and ice it.

On the brighter side of things.... I was watching some backlogged episodes of Top Chef this evening (while drinking wine to drown my footy sorrows). And one of the dishes that one of the chefs created was a Guacamole Coleslaw (in addition to some steak or something). And I couldn't believe it!!! I thought up that dish a few months ago and made it for Greg and my family and it was a huge hit.

'Course she didn't think of the ingenious name for this dish that I did.

Ladies and gents, I give you....Guacamol-slaw.

Here's my recipe if you want to try it.

Ingredients:
1 or 2 avocados
1/4 cup of light mayo
Juice of 1 or 2 limes
Cilantro
1 big garlic clove finely minced
Salt & Pepper
1 head of cabbage thinly sliced (or 1 bag of coleslaw mix)

Mash up the avocado. Mix with mayo, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, S&P. Toss this mixture with the cabbage.

Don't worry about the avocado turning brown if you take it to a summer picnic. The lime juice keeps it green!

Goes good with: Fish Tacos or Turkey Burgers

*****Also, please excuse my gnarly foot in the above photo. I am too busy to paint my toenails and I can't get a pedicure because we are in a recession. (I love that I can blame the economy now for my laziness in grooming. It is also the reason I give for only blowdrying my hair and shaving my legs once a week.... hello, electricity and water cost money.)
