What do you feed a 13 year old boy with a case of the jitters on Opening Night? Steak, I was thinking, or maybe something simple like roasted chicken.
I was mighty surprised when he glanced at the cookbook and picked out Avocado, Orange and Jicama Salad. Oh, I was thinking, he's getting so sophisticated! How many other people have a teenage boy that even knows what jicama is?
That little self-congratulatory fantasy only lasted until he took one bite, looked at me with horror and disgust, and asked what I "did to the salad".
What I did, of course, was dress it with the vinaigrette, which contains curry powder and cumin.
Oh well, baby steps. (and more avocado for me.)
