"different" folks
I have to say, I do have a little quibble with parents who use this vocabulary with the kids without elaboration. I know it's almost impossible to avoid, but I feel like if they tell the kid I'm "different" there's an implied "different from normal" and the short hand ends up being categories of normal/not normal. So I love to hear the parent say something like, "look at all the people in the store, almost no one is the exact same height! Everyone is different!"
I hope that makes sense.
Sox, how did your mom react to Iris telling her she was going to die soon?

So, who's got a good guacamole recipe?
Chipotle's does!
But I don't know what it is.

Simple is best...
Chop up some Tomatoes, Onions, Seranno/Jalepeno peppers to taste and add some lime and salt. Mash up your Avocado and add the former and mix it in. I don't have any real proportions since I usually kinda wing it. But then again, I'm half Mexican and that half never writes down recipes.

Yay, MM.
When I make guacamole I usually use 3-4 avocado, 1-2 limes depending on size, a little chopped onion, and some salt and pepper. Very simple.

you are familiar with the Church Lady from SNL?
So, who's got a good guacamole recipe?
this is the simplest guac recipe I have, and also my favorite. If you want to spice it up, add a little jalapeno (diced) and some tomatoes (chopped) -
- 3-4 ripe avocados
- 1/4 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (I like this better than onions ::ducks:: - shallots are also good to try)
- kosher salt to taste
in medium-sized bowl, mash first four ingredients with fork until mostly smooth (too-smooth guac is spooky IMHO).
apply chips.

Tomatoes DO NOT BELONG in guacamole.
If you ask me.

I generally agree, if you go to most Mexican restaurants in Mexico or on the border. Guacamole consists of Mashed Avocado and sometimes already includes lime and salt.
Above was my more americanized version of Guacamole. I stopped fighting things like Taco Bell and Chipotle (FWIW I find them tasty, but not authentic)

FWIW, I will happily eat avocado from the shell with a spoon.
Or fried. it's good fried.
my shoe would probably be good fried.
