...I have really enjoyed your Olympic posts Hilary.<br /><br />Yes, vinaigrette makes a wonderful sauce for avocado. I think all our avocados come from the States or further south.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-88733240656444225582012-08-11T05:08:44.374-04:002012-08-11T05:08:44.374-04:00Hi Jo .. thanks so much for mentioning my posts - ...Hi Jo .. thanks so much for mentioning my posts - and I know Tina came over and commented on my medals post ... and I'm so glad I researched the bouquets/ nosegays .. it was a fascinating look around ... and then post.<br /><br />I love avocado .. in fact have been eating some delicious ones from South Africa recently - that I found at the farm shop - just like the old days ... avo and vinaigrette!

Not sure how much it would preserve the bouquets though.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-36299865997423965492012-08-09T09:49:01.840-04:002012-08-09T09:49:01.840-04:00I'm an avocado fan too.

Very yum.<br />Interesting about the flowers in the Olympic bouquets. I hope they've made freeze drying of them available to the medalists.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-78343993501274581032012-08-07T22:13:59.601-04:002012-08-07T22:13:59.601-04:00Me too, love avocados.

She used to tell me, if I was good, she would take me to the dentist. I never had any fear of a dentist til much later in life.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-74070106217140846232012-08-07T20:39:33.458-04:002012-08-07T20:39:33.458-04:00We do love avocados in this house!

Was glad to see the Rumanian girl win. Hubby was a gymnast once but he always says what they do today is impossible, especially on the rings. We enjoy most of it although find the cycling the least interesting.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-29007161403783463412012-08-07T10:53:20.160-04:002012-08-07T10:53:20.160-04:00Hey Jo,

I will be posting a few more pictures, but I'm trying to not brag too much or have it be Alaska week at the blog...but I do have two more posts in the can.<br />Upon my return, I got to see the women's vault finals. Too bad that "sure thing winner" whose name escapes me fell on her butt...amazing that she was .1 off the gold. I'm a former gymnast (you can put gymnastics in my search box if you want to read any of the stories) so that's always my favorite part of the summer olympics. In the winter, I like the ice skating (very gymnastics like) and the scary things like bobsled and luge.<br />I know Hilary and will have to check out her post with your excellent recommendation.<br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tina @ Life is Good</a><br /><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2012/05/post-to-z-road-trip-join-us.html" rel="nofollow">Post A-Z Road trip!</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-47507236597990675942012-08-07T09:48:51.388-04:002012-08-07T09:48:51.388-04:00Yes, wasn't it?
