I remember the good old days, growing up as a wee lassie in the wilds of Southern California, when big, delicious avocados were 3 for $1. WTF happened to those days? Now they're $3 for 1. Grrr. So, buying avocadoes is normally kind of a treat. But now, as part of the effort to lower my cholesterol, I'm going to have to eat an avocado every day. Oh, the hardship. Eating an avocado every day helped lower cholesterol rates by 8%, while a low-fat diet only lowered by 5%! Yeah, screw the low-fat diet, I'm going on an avocado diet. :D Wow, imagine what you could do with both. Can you have negative cholesterol? :)) Of course, that's $80/month in avocadoes. Yikes.
Did you know there is 0 cholesterol in Doritos? What's that about? How can that be possible??

And, finally, with all the interviews Tom has been doing recently, we've at last gotten confirmation that he'll be in GoF. YAY!!

Date: 2004-05-25 12:26 am (UTC)You must make homemade guacamole. It's so much better! I make it different every time, but I can give you the base recipe--well, I go by taste.
Peel, then slice in half and yank out the pit (I use the knife and just slice into it like I have a machete) of about four avocados. Mash with a fork, but not too much. Add sliced tomato, onion (whatever kind you like, I change depending if I want sweet or spicy), at least one clove of crushed garlic (I like more), some lemon juice (stick a fork in a lemon and just squeeze some over the avocados), salt, pepper, and the key ingredient is fresh cilantro, chopped. From there you can do your own thing. I put sour cream in it, or ground cumin, sometimes hot sauce. Whatever floats your boat. Mash together all ingredients with a fork until the consistency of oatmeal. :D
Oh, a Dutch oven is a big pot, about five quarts.
