Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it!

Avocado butter on toast with tomato salsa - recipe we are still playing with

By jeff and alli -
 Rees made this recently based on a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe.  The following is what Rees made.  We want to try Yotam's recipe more closely but we were using what we had on hand.  Yotam called for butter, and we omitted that, and I think we will continue to leave it out.  Maybe it would be better with, but it was still good without the extra fat.  The tomato salsa was really good on top. Avocado Butter on toast with Tomato Salsa  Serves 2-4 Ingredients : 2-3 very ripe avocados (about 9 oz of flesh) 3 limes (want about 2 tsp zest & 2 Tbsp juice) salt 1 tsp fennel (this wasn't in the recipe but what we included since we didn't have tarragon) 1/2 cup fresh tarragon, roughly chopped (we didn't have this but would like to try it) 1/2 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped (I noticed Rees didn't use all of the half cup) 7 oz cherry tomatoes, quartered 2 Tbsp olive oil black pepper 4 slices of bread 1 small garlic clove, peeled and halved 1/4 tsp cumin Directions...
