a snack and a sale.

I'm thinking today when Lou picks me up from work I'm going to force him to drive to the food store so I can pick up some avocados. I've been fantasizing about guacamole for days now. I wish I could have the self control to make it last longer than one sitting. Avocados are expensive!
I don't do anything too special for making guacamole and I'm sure there's other recipes out there that are better than mine but here's how I do it (at the request of another)

AT LEAST two avocados
1 chopped tomoato (larger chop equals more chunky)
1/2 chopped onion (larger chop equals more chunky)
cilantro (as much as you can get your hands on)
garlic powder (a sprinkling)
1/2 tsp chopped garlic (from the little jar)
juice from 1-2 limes
s&p

I like my guacamole chunky so I just mash the avocado with a fork until it's a good consistency for me and then throw in all of the other ingredients. I like to add tomato and onion because I think it stretches the guacamole further. One time I added fresh jalepeno...that was good too. The more ya add, the more ya got. And the lime juice is key! I like to squeeze fresh limes into the guacamole right before I eat it.



Now that I'm drooling..I did have one other thing to mention. I'll be listing a bunch of items I have piling up *on sale!* in the upcoming days. Pendants and charms and such. Trying to clear out the stock for the fresh and new. Super affordable..so keep your eyes peeled!
