What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

Hey! My post disappeared when I hit post!

They wanna keep me! Benes, vacation...a JOB!

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.

Sox, how did your mom react to Iris telling her she was going to die soon?

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.

I wish my parents had made an effort to get me to see people other than the Anglo-Saxon descendents who lived around me in rural Pennsylvania. I didn't see a black person until I hit high school, and it took me a long time to stop hesitating and thinking, "OK, that person's not from around here, right?" And now I live in Utah and to my shame, I'm still surrounded by 98% lily white folk.

Congrats MM!

When I lived in San Diego, we had neighbors with an avocado tree in the back yard. They'd bring one in, still vibrating from the branch, crush it with a fork, some lime juice and salt and snorfle it up before the tree even knew it was missing.

That was such a perfect religiousgustatory experience, I haven't eaten guacamole since.

I feel a bit like Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico...except for the whole, not killing the chef thing.

In landlord news, he came in last night (with permission) and painted over the tri-color area so that now...it's only bi-color.

Seriously. The entire kitchen ceiling is roughly 8x8. He couldn't just do the whole thing so it doesn't look patched? Guess not.
