Agreed but I can’t help but watch. Currently my neighborhood is arguing because a known conservative lackey sent all Edina a pamphlet talking about how non white kids have caused the downfall of Edina schools

Frankly, I'd blame coddled kids, and kids with no academic expectations, of every ilk.

Jeebus. I am constantly surprised how racist people can be. I don’t know why.

I think it was Jim who called me racist on here and I ended up blocking him. I later unblocked him when I had a bit of a revelation. I still think he was wrong about the particular thing he called me racist for saying, but eventually I realized I needed to be more careful about how I frame things. That and I realized just how racist as **** our society is.

We don’t like hearing it, but sometimes those wake up calls are necessary.

Funny enough, this mailing comes from the Center Of thr American Experiment, a conservative Cess pool.
They are also a gopher hockey sponsor and you’ll see their name advertised all games. So gross

Uh genius...I am FOR the changing of the Lake from Calhoun to the original Native Name. Just stay out of this one Ivory Tower we can handle it without your (lack of) expertise. I am sure there is a sale at Whole Foods and they have Avocado Toast samplers that are more up your alley :D ;) :p

I only wish I'd stayed in the ivory tower. It's like that bumper sticker, "the more I see of people the more I like my dog." I deliberately dropped off the academic conveyor belt to live in the "real" world but the more I see of "real" people the more I like academics.

Very good question. My guess would be the avocado lobby.

I never thought it was a real thing until the pricey barista-infested joint in RTC started serving it. Non-ironically. I think.

Per WaPo, it's Pepper Potts' fault.

Probably the most prominent moment in avocado toast history, however, was when Paltrow included a recipe for it in her 2013 cookbook, “It’s All Good.” In it, she acknowledges how stupidly simple it is: “Truthfully this is one ‘recipe’ both Julia [co-author] and I make and eat most often! And it’s not even a recipe,” she writes. “It’s the holy trinity of Vegenaise, avocado and salt that makes this like a favorite pair of jeans — so reliable and easy and always just what you want.” (In her new cookbook, “It’s All Easy,” she includes three recipes for avocado toast.)

Food bloggers started copying her recipe and introducing their own versions. Bon Appétit magazine published a recipe for “Your New Avocado Toast” in its January 2015 issue. It’s on T-shirts. In March, viral worlds briefly collided when Meryl Streep was turned into avocado toast on the @tasteofstreep Instagram.

Millennials heard that avocado had healthy fat, very filling. They like eating cheap, ergo toast. And thus $7 avocado on toast menu items came into being.
