September Daring Bakers
This month’s challenge was hosted by Natalie and Shel. The recipe was Lavash Crackers (check out their sites for the typed-out recipe – I am too lazy!) and the great thing about it was the personalization. Other than the basic recipe, the rest was up to us! As you can see, I went very plain for my crackers. I did half sesame seeds and half Fleur de Sel. For my dip, I totally took the lazy way out – straight avocado!
Here’s what happened: I actually made crackers three weeks ago. 
But I forgot to moisten the top, so the seeds didn’t stick. I ate the crackers themselves, over the next few days.
Then, today, I was reading blogs on Google Reader and saw some challenges already posted! I guess I lost track of the date, so realized that I needed to post asap. The crackers are really easy and fast to make, but at 9 o’clock on a Saturday night… all I want to do is sit like a lump and watch the tv! So, I just put out some avocado. A few crackers were my post-dinner snack…
Might have peach bread too!

Let’s not think of straight avacado as taking the lazy way out. I prefer to think of it as saving the avacado from the explotation of seasonings and the fight for flavor power from other fruits/vegetables and taking things back to the natural so the avacado can shine in its flavorful creamy glory.
yeah, that sounds good, let’s go with that version.
Your crackers really did turn out great. They have such a wonderful even color. Mine were a bit hodge podgey so it helped to just close your eyes when you ate them.

Good thought! The crackers were really tasty. I think I will try them again, and try to perfect the recipe… maybe try different seeds/salt/etc. on top.
