Vegetarian cooking for everyone

Eastside Road, —
A COUPLE OF AVIATION cocktails in town left us in no mood — actually, L. had a Cucumber Collins, not an Aviation — for much of a dinner, and we had lots of vitamin C of various kinds in the refrigerator. Time to scorch, chop, and whisk.#alttext#
Here you see the proper ingredients for a guacamole: cilantro torn from its stalks, shallots chopped fine, salt, Habanera pepper (scorched, peeled, and seeded), lime zest. It all gets chopped fine and blended into avocados, moistened with lime juice and tequila.

Afterward, a mess of Padron peppers, scorched in olive oil and salt; and then a green salad, dressed with lemon juice.
Cool water
