Day 100 - Avocado and Crab Rolls

I can't believe that I have made it to this point. After 100 days, I did it. I survived a summer away from my roommates and friends and I managed to blog everyday of this long and sometimes frustrating summer. Even though the summer didn't start out as I expected, and it took me a while to figure everything out, it ended up being a pretty good summer. I loved my job, and I accomplished something that I didn't think I would actually stick to. So for the last post I did one last summer lunch before the fall foods take over and everything is flavored with pumpkin spice.

Avocado and Crab Rolls

1 avocado - diced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon champagne vinegar
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 pound lump crab meat
2 stalks celery - diced
2 top split hot dog buns - toasted
a few lettuce leaves
Old Bay
Salt and Pepper

First combine half of the avocado with mayo, vinegar and lemon zest in a food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until mixture is completely smooth. In a medium sized bowl mix together crab meat with avocado mayo, remaining diced avocado, and celery. Fold mixture together as to not break up the diced avocado. Season with salt, pepper and old bay. Lay a bed of lettuce on each hot dog bun and fill with crab mixture. Top with a dash of old bay and enjoy!

I've been craving crab for a few days now so I just had to indulge for the last blog post and make these for my lunch in between the crazy packing frenzy that is currently on display in my living room. It seems that every time I take one thing out of the pile thats going to college, I think of two things I need to buy to bring with me. As much as I am looking forward to moving in and finally living with two of my best friends, I really can't wait till we move in to our own apartment junior year, cause reality is that we all just have too much stuff and not enough room in our dorm. I feel like I should end this blog with some touching and emotional paragraph about how much I have learned about myself through this project and how much I still have to learn as I grow, but the truth is that I am happy to be done with this project and move on to another school year with new and different challenges and experiences. So I don't know that I will ever blog again, but in the off chance that I do, till then,
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
