Summer Days and Avocado-Ranch Dressing

Oh, how I love summer days!  DH planted these beautiful sunflowers
in the garden!  (That is my wonderful neighbor's yellow house by the
garden.)  The garden is also full of zinnias and marigolds and oh yes,
beans, cucumbers, peppers, okra, and tomatoes! Enough for great
salads everyday.  Speaking of salads, I tried Rachel Ray's receipe
for Avocado-Ranch Dressing from her insert in her magazine.  It
was "fabulous, darling"!  Forgot to take a picture before it was gone!

Avocado-Ranch Dressing

1  Avocado

1/2 cup sour cream

juice of 1 lemon

1  clove garlic, grated or finely chopped

2  tablespoons finely chopped chives

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill

2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Mix mashed avocado together with other ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

I love the way summer just goes on and on.  Tonight DH is grilling

the spare ribs and we will cut our first cold watermelon! Love it!

Hope you are enjoying summer days, too!

Love,

Lottie
