What’s for lunch?

in my fruit basket
there’s plums, tangerines, avos
it maybe winter
but toms are still ripening
and sitting in the sun room

What to eat for lunch? Maybe use the avocado – definitely ready. Opening it up… mmm, perfect. A little mayonnaise with some tuna, or even better, make some guacamole. So mash the avocado mixed with tomato, a tiny bit of chopped onion and a little chilli pepper. Now we could go really mad. Let’s pile everything in to some tacos, and hey presto… it must be Taco Tuesday – just like Tanka Tuesday (well, it’s only a couple of days late).

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. 
The challenge for this week is all about fruit!

  10. Nice! … for something new, add a small dab of softened butter when mashing up the avocado. This is traditional (honesty), especially in parts of Oaxaca and Puebla. It’s called guacamole estilo Oaxaca. Usually a tablespoon for 2 avocados. *thumbs up*

  14. Oh, you’re making my mouth water! You’ve made it even more lovely with a beautiful poem. As summer here becomes more prevalent, you might need to think warm thoughts while enjoying your taco, even in the midst of winter! 😉🤗💖
