Thanks to Stacie Wheeler for this bit of dating advice:

At one of the last all girl schools in Dallas years ago, the
instructor in a "Charm Course" was urging her students to give their
escorts every chance to be gallant. "Remain seated in the truck until
he has had time to step around and open the door for you." she said.

Then, returning to reality, she added, "But if the big, dumb galoot is
in the restaurant ordering his steak, don't wait any longer."

This simple yet elegant salad offers an amazing contrast of textures
and flavors.

Avocado and Grapefruit Salad

2 large grapefruits
3-4 ripe avocados, pitted, peeled, and cut into
thin wedges
1/2 red onion or other sweet onion, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Using a sharp paring knife, peel and section the grapefruits, working
over a bowl to collect the juice. Arrange the grapefruit sections,
avocado wedges, and onion slices attractively on a platter or
individual salad plates. Sprinkle with a little of the grapefruit
juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve chilled or at room
temperature. Serves 4 to 6.
