Happy nine years, my love. There’s nowhere I’d rather be.

I leave for a week, and the building next door skyrockets.

I’m fairly offended, but mostly because I war with the impetus to crawl up my own ass.
Avocado Chicken Burger
This recipe makes a nice light burger that’s juicy, delicious from the fat, and a nice change from beef. It’s perfect with a sriracha mayo or asian-inspired dipping sauce, too.

Avocado Chicken Burger
Based off the Chicken Avocado Burger recipe by Laughing Spatula
1 pound ground chicken
1 avocado, chopped
Juice of half a lime
2 tsp. granulated garlic
2 tsp. onion powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c. – 1/2 c. almond flour
2 big pinches Kosher salt & a few grinds black pepper
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
Knead all ingredients together but the almond flour and avocado chunks. Your mixture should look really wet. Add half the almond flour, check to see if your mixture holds together (loosely is fine). Add the rest if needed.
Once your mixture is burger-able, gently fold the avocado into the mix.
Portion into 4 burger patties and pan fry over medium-high in 2 Tbsp. coconut oil 3-4 minutes per side (until cooked through and browned).
Serves 4

Yay! I did hot yoga and didn’t die! Thought I was going to pass out a couple of times, but I made it through – and it was fantastic.

A quick from-the-road shot of the house my grandmother built with her husband from the root cellar up. She would be horrified to see that the paint isn’t immaculate and there’s junk on the side porch.
Not shown: the beautiful faux stained glass windows she designed and made, the brick floor shellacked to a high gloss shine, and the lovingly hand stained woodwork making up the two-story wall of bookshelves and catwalk.

We took a mini vacation from our vacation today at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher and Carolina Beach.
