    Way to go Ellie!!

    I had forgotten to list that I am also a person that can't stand avocado until recently. I couldn't stand the texture, the look, the taste, etc.

    For the Super Bowl, I made my first guacamole and it was delicious!! I couldn't eat alot of it but I'm getting better.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    But what about Passion fruit? I love both Avocado and Passion fruit. Avocado's have to be the ones with a coarse skin, though.

    I've never had Passion Fruit. I love Kiwi fruit tho. I like most all fruit - I just can't bring myself to try avocado. I even like Pomegranates.

    Avocados are called "alligator pears" in some areas and there are two types smooth and coarse skinned, Haas is one type, I can't think oif the other.

    Richard, this is very simple and I know you've done it this way:

    GUACAMOLE RECIPE

    3 ripe avocados(more if you wish)
    2 plum tomatoes-deseeded
    2 cloves of carlic finely diced
    Cilantro to taste(I used quite a bit)
    2 green onions sliced, tops and all
    1 fresh jalapeno, diced-deseeded
    Pickled jalapenos-I used about 8 slices-HOT HOT HOT!!!
    1 tbsp. juice from the pickled jalapenos-EVEN HOTTER
    Salt
    Coarsely ground peppercorns
    Juice of one nice juicy lime

    Put the avocado in a bowl(I didn't mash it). I left it chunky so I could eat it.
    Mix all ingredients with the avocado. Stir together gently, leaving chunks.
    Squirt lime juice all over the mixture and gently stir in. You can add this with everything else if you want to avoid stirring too much.

    If you like it mashed, just mash it or stir normally.

    I think that's all I put in it, Richard. I hate it even more when it turns brown. The lime juice helps that from happening.
    I dipped it with tortilla wedges I deep fried. It was delicious!!

    ETA: I may have thrown some more spices I like in there too. I'm good at throwing everything in the spice rack in all my dishes.

    Thanks Barry!

    Carmen, that book was so sad. At the end, I was bawling. I felt like I knew him and his family and all I could see were his kids and Jai not having him anymore. How cool that he wrote that book and left it for his legacy.
