Avocado Toast
How many times do you really want to fuss with making a
fancy lunch during the week? For me, I want something quick, tasty and healthy.
Avocado is one of my go-to’s. I’ve been told it’s a “super food”, like you
could live for a very long time eating avocado alone. Though I don’t know if
there’s any food I would be content to eat for the rest of my life.

There’s a restaurant near my old apartment in NYC, Café Getane,
on Jane Street. I love their Avocado Toast. It’s simple and delicious and
always fills me up. This is an ode to those lovely lunches with friends at that
adorable café.
