Avocado Prawn Medley

It takes two to Tango!

This is such a lovely dish for me to share this day of mourning because I lost a great friend. He passed away yesterday because of diabetes. Prior to his departure yesterday he had his knee amputated and went on a coma in ICU. He supposed to have his amputation from waist down yesterday lunch but wasn't able to make it. I can't imagine my dear friend with one knee amputated, what more from waist down? Such a terrible pain. He had this illness for several years and he will just often take medicines and insulin to keep him going. What funny about this fat boy friend of mine is--- despite the huge figure he had and the diabetes thing, he still managed to eat sweets like chocolates but definitely sugar-free. His favorite ice cream is the sugar-free of "Better than Ice Cream." I remember a lot of good and funny moments with him. He always possesses this mean humor and outlandish words to joke or humiliate people in a very funny way. Despite that a lot of people in the Philippine advertising industry loved him. He left us a very special mark and each one of us has our own story to tell about the laughter’s we shared with this good friend.

I would definitely miss the man. The harsh words he uttered, the sweet thoughts and the inspiring advice he gave me is what I will always keep in my heart. I felt it was only yesterday that I used to feed him with my food that for sure he can eat the entire casserole of any dish I will cook. He's my companion pigging out and splurging on shopping funky stuffs. How I wish he remained healthy and lived a balance life. Now I realize the value of exercise and eating the right food especially when you have a special illness to take care of.

This dish is a combination of a good result that I can say it takes two to tango. The component of prawn and avocado mix with Japanese mayo is very basic, healthy and easy to prepare. I hope my dear friend would still smell and taste my cooking wherever he is...

This is for you, Harvey Diez +
