When Biscuits Fly

Lettuce Wraps
Bacon, avocado, and tomato topped with avocado-mayo

This rain has been crazy! I was so glad to see some blue sky and sun today. I hope it sticks around and gives everyone time to dry out. I'm praying for my friends and neighbors who are dealing with flooded basements and dens.

Today for lunch I made the lettuce wraps pictured above. I chopped up 1/2 an avocado, drizzled it with fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. Then I added some chopped tomato and several slices of crumbled bacon. Topped it off with avocado-mayo -- which is just a little mayo with smashed avocado mixed in. It was yummy, quick, and easy.

I also wanted to report on a meal I had last week at Flying Biscuit. If you are like me, having good options for dining out is important. I went there for lunch and ordered an omelet. Choices for sides include grits, potatoes, and mixed greens. I opted for the mixed greens which made it easy to keep the carbs low. Of course Flying Biscuit is known for their biscuits. I had a small bite of one after the meal, but decided it just wasn't worth it. It did not taste as good as I remembered, and I was perfectly satisfied after my omelet and mixed greens. I left the fluffy, sugar-topped biscuit sitting on the plate. Six or seven weeks ago, I could not have imagined that I would resist that biscuit so easily, that it would not even be a big temptation to me. I thought such a change was impossible -- something I might attain when biscuits fly . . . Well, apparently they do.
