How to Make French Vinaigrette. One assumption that I’m going to make about the French is that they’re not afraid to make things au pif, or “by the nose”. I don’t know if a precise recipe for sauce vinaigrette actually exists. But if there is, I bet few people follow it very closely.

When I see a really good deal on avocados (under $1 each for the large size), I buy about ten at a time.

But I can’t actually eat that many before they start to go bad, so I have to preserve them. Every time we collected his bounty, we’d toss a sacrificial avocado to him as thanks for his good work.
