Guac is one of those things that's better if you make it early, right?
Meaning? Make it in the morning and let it sit?
I make it right before (or within ~1 hour) it's going to be consumed, because it turns brown if it sits too long.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

vw, guacamole may be better when fresh ... although I believe the lime juice keeps it from going all brown and icky.

Also, this will be a surprise to no one. I have too much craft stuff.

It doesn't take too long for the flavors to meld into goodness, but if you do make it any more than like 30 min in advance make sure you have lime juice in there and it is covered really well. Preferably with saran rap actually like on the green goop.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Congrats MM! That's wonderful news.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Found out this morning that my big girl asked the African American woman across the street why her nose was so "squished".
Aims, 95% of people who are asked that kind of question understand that children will say whatever pops into their heads, and will not take offense. Those who do would have done something else shitty, so there’s nothing you can do about it. If Em said that to me, I’d say “honey, my nose isn’t squished, it’s just a different shape than yours. Here, see how my feet are flat and yours have that nice arch? We’re not all the same, and that’s what makes us interesting”. Of course, she will probably say something about my ass at the F2F, and then I will have to explain the magic of the badonkadonk. ;)
So, who's got a good guacamole recipe?
Well, I have an excellent one, but it uses the dreaded cilantro. It’s more of a proportion than a recipe, but here goes
3-4 avocados
2 scallions, finely chopped
½ bunch cilantro
Juice of 1-2 limes
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
Kosher salt to taste
Mash it all together. Actually, I like to mix everything but the avocado together first, to make sure that it’s evenly distributed, then I mash in the avocado with a fork, and fold with the rest of the ingredients. I like my guac chunky, and this cuts down on the mixing.
Tomatoes DO NOT BELONG in guacamole.

And now I live in Utah and to my shame, I'm still surrounded by 98% lily white folk.
Well, you do live in Utah. Black people are scared of Utah.
