Avocado toast~

Cook's Corner came today and was startling.  Now that the food editor is gone, they are using food sections from different city's newspapers.  I guess this is cheaper than hiring an editor.  Anyway, Time magazine reported that Americans spend $900,000 a MONTH on avocado toast. Now, this seems like a misprint.  Some spend $19. a pop on a slice of toast with the avocado mixture on top. Who fools away money like that?

Here's the recipe:
1 ripe avocado, halved, seeded and peeled
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
2 slices country-style wheat bread toasted
Using a fork mash the avocado in a bowl.  Add the lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Divide between the two pieces of toast.  REALLY???? That's it???

Oh, you can add the following cooked egg, crisp bacon, tomato, basil, salsa, smoked salmon etc.  See it isn't really a recipe at all.  It is a throw together.
