I have enjoyed chocolate pudding made from avocado as a dairy-free option.

I didn’t bake this, but enjoyed it at a little French bakery in Sarasota, FL. The lemon merengue tart was outstanding for it’s tart lemon filling (not overly sweet) and the merengue was closer to marshmallow texture. -

I wound up making guava jam with some white guavas that were suboptimal. It is delicious, I added a little lime juice and 1/8 tsp vanilla paste to the strained fruit (which I had simmered with lime peel). The texture is a little grainy, similar to apple butter. -
Some leftover steamed asparagus, dotted with a little mustard, melted cheese in toasted Dave’s Killer Bread.

Thanks, my original plan to make jam is probably the way I'm going to deal with them. Seems like hard seeds are a characteristic of this variety.

I just received Ripert's "Seafood Simple" as a birthday gift, looking forward to reading it. Although I will undoubtedly gnash my teeth at the prospect of sourcing fresh seafood good enough to take advantage of his recipes!

Bought a package of guavas today, they are yellowish with cream color flesh. I tried one which looked sort of ripe, maybe it wasn’t quite there, but the seeds are really unpleasant. It was like chewing BB’s, they were really hard. Do the seeds get any softer if the fruit is more ripe? I like the flavor, but no way I am eating those seeds, I will cook them and use a fine strainer to separate the flesh as fall back.

@Pete Fred I wanted to take a moment to thank you for posting the types of baked goods that you often do - the deceptively simple looking ones, no piped frosting, no glitter, but full of flavors. The flavors and textures you describe are my very favorite, I always gravitate to these types of cakes. -
Casserole pre-bake…spaghetti squash with a topping of sauteed mushrooms/onion, tomatoes, and diced, roasted eggplant. Grated parm. Will be having it with panko-crusted chicken breast strips.

We went out for our celebratory dinner on Saturday, I have a long day of work on Wednesday. Perhaps take-out pizza and chocolate!
-
Some leftovers from dinner - roasted broccoli, quinoa, sweet potato, Patak's mango curry sauce and added chickpeas.

My Uncle had one of these Tovola ovens, he liked the convenience but said the meals they provided were very salty.

Conceptually, I gather some of the gifts should be referencing the animal year (dragon = tea), are sweets also traditional as we use in other cultures, “sweets for a sweet year”? Or is it more of a tradition of presenting something outside the every day/indulgent?
