I was gifted with some fabulous avocados a few weeks ago. One of my favorite quick and easy lunch recipes came to mind; and serving right out of the avocado shell makes for a perfect presentation.
 
2 ripe avocados
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper
3 Tablespoons good olive oil
2 Tablespoons finely chopped red onion
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

The Fristoe area weather went from below freezing in the day for several days to a warming trend with highs close to 60  degrees.
 
This leads people to get in the gardening mood.  Neighbors and friends have been tilling the garden soil as well as scattering barnyard soil and working it under to make for richer dirt to plant things.

It is so cold outside that I can only think about warming dishes. One of my favorite pizza makers in San Francisco used to make this recipe for potatoes and named it Potato Pizzaiola.
 
4 pounds of large red potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
14 ounce can Italian peeled tomatoes, drained and chopped
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 teaspoons salt & ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

The Fristoe area had a couple great days weather wise then cold came, with some moisture and wind.  It sounds like it will be that way all this week.  Hope everyone in the Fristoe area stays safe and warm. 
 
The Fristoe News sends condolences to the family and loved ones of Alice Boston.  We have had Alice on our prayer request for a couple years and we found out Alice passed away this past week.  Alice was liked and appreciated by everyone that met her. We send our thoughts and prayers to Bill as we know he is gonna miss her.
