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.

LOL! To me, they just look like something that has gone bad and should be thrown out!!!

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.

LOL-
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.

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.

This looks like fun.

1. I'm getting married in a little over three weeks.

27. I've been super laid-back about most of the wedding stuff, but one friend can't give me a solid answer on if he's bringing a guest and for some reason it's making me CRAZY.

28. I had a panic attack at work this week. I've never had one before. My chest hurt so badly I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital.

Oh, kiddo, so much of the stress is probably wedding-related, and soon it will all be over and you can begin the exciting part - being married to each other and enjoying it!

It is terrible how much emphasis society these days puts into having the "perfect" wedding - like it wasn't stressful enough? The most perfect, lovely, story-book wedding I ever went to (in early May, on a beautiful sunny and warm but not too hot day, small Vermont town, bride's dress crocheted by her mother, the town green - which we had to cross to get to the reception - all in blossom with wildflowers ...) the marriage was over by Thanksgiving. The next time that friend got married, it was by a Justice of the Peace in the shell of what would be their new house (construction delays) and they just had two of the carpenters for witnesses ... and that was the marriage that lasted!

14. My first pet was a newfie named shera
15. When i was alittle I used to think I was a dog and used to carry a bone in my mouth and crawl on my hands and knees
16. When I was 3 my parents caught me brushing a dead mouses teeth with a toothbrush outside because it had yellow teeth!! kinda gross i know

All proof that you would grow up to be - a Pet Talker!
