Just a Giveaway

It's that time again, folks!  CSN stores is sponsoring another giveaway on this here humble food blog.   As you may recall, CSN stores sells, um, everything - from cookware (ahem, my personal fave thing to shop for) to swing sets!  So just like last time, one lucky winner will be awarded a one-time-use $35 gift certificate, good at any of CSN’s 200+ online stores.

To enter leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing to do with avocados besides guacamole. My very good friend might have an avocado tree that might be in bloom, and she might be the giving sort of person, and so I might have a few dozen (ok, more like 7 or 8) avocados ripening in my kitchen that are going to need a very permanent place in my belly sometime very soon.  Please make sure you provide an email address if there isn’t one linked to your profile.

For additional entries, do one or all of the following, then come back and leave a separate comment for each, letting me know the deed is done.
  1. Become a fan of (“Like”) Bananas for Bourbon on Facebook, and if you already are, just say so!
  2. Subscribe to my blog via an RSS feed (just click that “Follow” button in the toolbar on the right), and if you already do, just say so!
  3. Post a link to this giveaway on your blog, and let me know about it.

The rules: open to US and Canada residents only, as that is where CSN store's products ship. The giveaway closes this Sunday, February 20th at 12:01pm Pacific Time. The winner will be selected by a random number generator and announced (and contacted!) sometime after that.


I don't have a recipe fit to print just yet, but don't worry, there are a few in the pipeline.  If all goes to plan, you'll be seeing a new recipe and a winner by the end of the long weekend.

  5. I like making chicken tortilla soup (or leave the chicken out for a veggie option) loaded with black beans, corn and zucchini, and add lots of chopped avos (tossed in lime juice) just before eating.

  9. I eat avocado just about everyday, on my wrap sandwich for lunch. But I also love using it in a frittata with smoked salmon and goat cheese.

  10. A grilled cheese with havarti, jalapeños, and slices (not mashed) of avocado. As well, I blend a good dollop of olive oil and lemon juice into my guacamole recipe, enough to make it smooth and runny, and it makes a great dressing for taco salad.

  15. Avocados are good sliced up and put on a sandwich, although it has to be the right sandwich--I had some on a turkey burger once and it was quite good, and also on several different vegetarian sandwiches!
