Sam had to go to Yerevan a few days ago, and I stayed behind with the dogs. When this happens, we make it a habit to call each other each evening to catch up on the day and say goodnight. On this particular trip, one of these conversations turned to the subject of Things Molly Was Missing, a list that started with "Sam" and ranged all the way from "Not Being Viewed as a Source of Income by Almost Everyone You Meet" to "Socially Acceptable Daytime Drinking at Brunch". Somewhere in there, I also mentioned avocados- the White Whale of produce here in Armenia.
A day and a half later, Sam's home, and with him he's brought 4 avocados. So we make guacamole. It's delicious. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself (or your significant other) to a really indulgent meal to get over that culture shock-y feeling that comes with living abroad.
