Adventures in Cooking continue! Please share your favorite guacamole recipes, keeping in mind that cilantro tastes like soap to me and raw peppers give me acid burns. I have had some guacamole that made me want to lick the bowl clean and some that made my mouth go numb from peppers. There must be a way that this Middle-American with mid-century tastes can recreate the ne plus ultra of guacamole.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Guac:
Finely chop shallots (or red onion) & garlic (quantity in proportion to how much you like said flavors & how many avocados you have)
Put the shallots & garlic in the bowl to be used for guac
Squeeze half a lime over the shallots & garlic
Wait 5-10 minutes
Peel avocados, squeeze the other half of the lime over them, & smoosh them in
Add salt & pepper to taste
Devour

If there's a salsa you like, Connie, a super easy guac-like thing to do is mash avo with a few spoonfuls of the salsa. My Texan dad doesn't put peppers in his awesome guac. It's just onion, avocado, tomato, salt and pepper. And, duh, lots of fresh lime juice!

My standard guacamole recipe, such as it is: make salsa however you like it (and if that is by opening a jar, fine, I believe chopped up tomatoes and onions was the standard I learned). Add avocado and smoosh all together. Lime juice because always add lime juice.
I hardly ever do that, though. Just avocado and a spoon for me, mostly. In fact, that might be lunch...

Nope, gonna save the avocado for tomorrow, they make such good take-to-work lunches. Today I will see if I can reinstall a soufflé.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Should a new water heater cost $1200?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Depends on the size, but it doesn't sound too out of line to me. Is this with installation?

That sounds on the high end, but with installation, yes, probably.

Are you looking to upgrade at all? I'm just curious.
My phone is telling me that to reach my "activity goal" for today I can spend 28 minutes cleaning, 39 minutes washing dishes, 33 minutes baking, or 17 minutes gentle dancing. I like the sound of gentle dancing.

Is it Electric, Zen? I had an electric one replaced in 2013 and it cost me somewhere around the $7-800 range.
