Flash in the Pan

I got a press release from the Haas (a variety) Avocado Board (a grouping of several trade organizations) about avocado recipes for the holidays. The organization has a web site, which I checked out, although I'm not the biggest fan of the vegetable (or would it be a fruit?) to be found. The recipe in the release was for Holiday Hass Avocado and Au Gratin Potatoes but called for au gratin potato mix, which didn't seem too promising. However, there are some reasonable recipes on the organization's site. Some are better than others, and the range of recipes from the Mexican Hass Avocado people were disappointing in range - salsa or tacos or salad or guacamole. But one like the Avocado Pear-Honey Pastry Rounds appetizer sounded interesting, so take a look and see if there is something that might help you mix things up a bit for a holiday party.
